“A friendship was its own type of ritual, she realised, one where people bound themselves to one another not with blood but with words. And it had a power all its own, that belonging, that incalculable internal chemistry of choosing to let someone in.”

I probably should have reread the first book before I jumped into The Deck of Omens, because there are a lot of characters here and I don't remember who's who. But after a while I got into it. A decent sequel.

"Sinners who were led astray,
Wandered through the woods one day,
Sumbled right into the Gray,
Never to return.
Hear the lies our gods will tell,
The prison the Four wove so well,
But listen to us when we say:
Branches and stones, daggers and bones,
Will meet their judgement day."

What a conclusion this was! I enjoyed The Devouring Gray but found this sequel book to be much more fast-paced and engaging with high stakes. The characters from the first book are built upon and explored in amazing ways and the lore of Four Paths is amazingly explained; this was a great sequel and conclusion to the duology.

I liked the first book more. I think it should have been a stand alone instead of a duology
