About this listen

Return to the world of inklings, tattoo magic, and evil deities as Celia uncovers the secrets of the ink in order to stop Diavala once and for all. This eagerly anticipated sequel to Ink in the Blood is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Wicked Saints.

Celia Sand faced Diavala and won, using ink magic to destroy the corrupt religion of Profeta that tormented her for a decade. But winning came with a cost. Now Celia is plagued with guilt over her role in the death of her best friend. When she discovers that Diavala is still very much alive and threatening Griffin, the now-infamous plague doctor, Celia is desperate not to lose another person she loves to the deity's wrath.

The key to destroying Diavala may lie with Halycon Ronnea, the only other person to have faced Diavala and survived. But Halcyon is dangerous and has secrets of his own, ones that involve the ink that Celia has come to hate. Forced to choose between the ink and Diavala, Celia will do whatever it takes to save Griffin - even if it means making a deal with the devil himself.

Finished the duology and I still don’t understand

I only listened to this because I bought both books at the same time.

I found this one marginally better than book 1, mostly because (a) Celia and Griffin’s chemistry was more convincing than Celia and Anya’s, (b) Halcyon had more personality, complexity and was present early on in the book as opposed to Davilia’s one-note villainy and low screen time, and (c) there was more humor and somewhat faster pacing.

Unfortunately, just like the first book, I got to the end still not understanding how the ink magic worked or how it meshed with the fanaticism that supported people’s schemes.
And, despite the improvements, this was still overly long.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
