Review:
Myth: 5/5
I admitted that the first book took me a little time to get into. I found myself wondering why I had to work so hard to get into the world and the characters, but let me tell you, book two delivers from start to finish. We get to see Ren dance through her various masks and start to find ease and peace in her own self. Grey’s character really gets to take shape in this book. Weaving himself further into the story in his own masks. And of course, the incomparable Vargo, remains as enigmatic as ever. I can’t even begin to explain how well the multitude of masks for every character works in this story. Just enjoy the ride as they decide who to trust and how to learn the secrets to making Nadezra a better place for all its people.
Magic: 4.5/5
The magic remains mystical and complex, but the keys to its interweaving with the plot are clear. A unique mix of something like Tarot and emotion imbued powers make multiple character’s expertise required to tackle what ails Nadezra.
Overall: 5/5
The characters were brilliant, the world vivid and though there is truly little to no heist in the story, I can’t get the heist vibe out of my head as the characters masquerade their way through multiple lives to achieve their goals.
