This continues right after the first book and does not stop until you reach the end.
It’s is filled with adventure, suspense, puzzles and mazes, and of course, romance. That slow build romance that begins to make you wonder whether they’ll be okay or not. Not to mention some other side romances 👀
There’s a point in this book that I felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie 😆 it added such a nice twist to the story, not to mention suspense.
I truly enjoyed this duology so so much. It had such a unique premise, and one of the best romances that kept me on my toes the entire time. It also has one of my favorite found families and some of my favorite characters.
Jude and Kiara are seriously a couple of my all time favorite characters after reading this duology. They just had the best communication(for the most part), and would literally die for each other. Jude such a romantic and Kiara is tough, but seems to get all cuddly, if you will, with Jude. They were just adorable.
I really cannot recommend this duology enough. It’s eerie, suspenseful, romantic(so so romantic), and wonderful relationships that build and characters you can’t help but love, even the villain.
Definitely check this one out! Would love to see more from this world!

I received this book via the author in exchange for an honest review.
Perfection for a sequel! I could not ask for anything better! I adored every single second reading this. The emotional rollercoaster this novel brought me. Katherine Quinn wrote a beautiful, dark, and exciting duology with deep in depth characters and world building. I love that the theme of found family and friendship still held strong through this novel. It felt like a perfect flow continuation of the story from where we left off in To Kill a Shadow.
The adventure we follow our characters on was engaging, exciting, and nerve wracking for sure. The battles they went through to get to where they needed had me on edge. That plot twist at the end!!!!! I did NOT seeing that coming and I was so shook. The twist had me re-reading the paragraph to make sure it was real!
I LOVED that we had Kiara as a shadow wielder. Watching her be tempted by the shadows, but being able to bring herself back from the brink top tier. Her battle through the story was incredible. I also really liked that Kiara was the shadows side and Jude was the light. It was nice seeing the fmc be tempted by dark instead of the mmc.
The duel POV again worked well in this book. The switch back and forth flowed perfectly. I really liked the progression and pace as well. It was well done and did not feel rushed. I was so intrigued with how the plot went and I loved learning more about the world.
Jude & Kiara quickly became two of my favorite characters I have ever read about. I adore their relationship as friends and even more as a couple. The way they care for each other had me yelling. We love a good touch them and you suffer for it plotline. Their relationship blossomed so perfectly through the duology.
I can’t recommend this duology enough! I will also never stop yelling about how good it is!

This book had me experiencing some very conflicting thoughts. There were strong moments where the scenes were vivid and captivating. But there were a lot of moments in between where I felt lost in the details and was just reading to get through.
The world building in book 1 was not as thorough as I would have liked, but I was hopeful that it would expand more in book 2. Unfortunately I don’t think I really grasped the world building any more in this one either. I think it was trying to be more and bigger and in some ways became too much to comprehend. The gods and their abilities were unfathomable at times.
As a reader who visualizes scenes as I read, I found this book very difficult to visualize. It was either too detailed in mundane things or not detailed enough/to abrupt in other ways.
Kiara and Jude spend a lot of this book tackling the connection issue they discover between the two of them in book 1. It felt like a very long and repetitive cycle in this book with lots of things happening all with the same results?
I do love the shadow wielding badass FMC with the light wielding MMC to balance each other out. I think this was a fun twist that carried a lot of the story.
Everyone gets a love interest in this, too which I don’t think was necessary. Did I love the pairings anyway? Yes.
In general, I liked the story. I liked the beginning, the first 1/3 was strong at continuing the story from book 1 and it really does just jump right into things. The middle was slow and confusing at times. This is where I struggled the most. But the final 1/3 was again picking up pace and bringing things to a conclusion in a way that was enjoyable.
Thank you to Entangled Teen for this advance copy. My review is completely voluntary, completely my own, and always completely honest.

Thank you to @bookedwiththeemilys @katherinequinnwrites @entangledteen for the #gifted copy of this book.
The highly anticipated sequel to the Mistlands duology has finally arrived, and it’s everything I hoped for! After thoroughly enjoying the first book, To Kill A Shadow, I can confidently say the sequel did not disappoint.
The characters were truly captivating, and the relationships that blossomed between the main characters were nothing short of extraordinary. The chemistry between Kiara and Jude unfolds beautifully as a slow burn, making their connection even more rewarding. I loved the theme of found family, and it was a joy to witness the various friendships and dynamics among the other characters. The world-building was exceptional, immersing me in a rich and vibrant setting. The quest to the moon temple was a thrilling adventure filled with suspenseful trials and traps that kept me on the edge of my seat.
If you’re a fan of fantasy blended with a touch of romance, this duology is a must-read!
Thank you to Entangled Teen for this e-arc! I loved To Kill a Shadow and was so excited for this sequel. I needed more Kiara and Jude in my life!
This book did not disappoint. It is full of action, adventure, tense moments, love, friendship, and reunited/found family. I loved every single moment. You go through a wide range of emotions while reading and it’s worth it. Kiara and Jude are a top tier couple and I love how you see their relationship grow. Watching them come into their powers and harnessing their strength was perfect. And I LOVED that we get Kiara as a shadow wielder! What a badass move to make the FMC have those powers over the MMC and that SHE will burn the world down to protect him. *chefs kiss*
I love all of the side characters too! The journey they go and how they come together quickly to achieve their goal was fun to read. They go through a lot but still looked out for each other.
AND THE TWIST 😱 did not see that coming. 10/10. Excellent writing. Everyone needs to read this book.

I found To Shatter the Night to be a great conclusion to the Mistlands duology. I was blown away by the first book and couldn’t wait to read this one. I love the world building and lore that went into creating this world, and I really appreciated getting to experience more with the various locations To Shatter the Night took readers. I particularly enjoyed the different trials and traps woven throughout the moon temple. I also really love the character relationships and the characters themselves. This continues to be a strong point in the series to the point that losing anyone feels unbearable. I love the slow burn yet intense chemistry between Kiara and Jude. Even more than that, I love the friendship between Kiara and Jake - the banter and sass in their friendship is so great. The plot is wild in this book between rescues, treasure hunting missions, character reveals and betrayals. It will certainly keep you on your toes.

This was such a good ending to Kiara & Jude’s story.

This is it. I love the story that unfolded and how it transformed from the first book To Kill A Shadow. I also did not prepare myself for Chapter 37 🥲
On a personal note, it took me some time to finish this only because I had 3 back to back fantasy reads before this so I was slowly getting into a fantasy slump, nothing at all to do with how this book was for me.
*This was received as an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
This was an amazing end to this duology. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. Jude and Kiara are SO good together. While they had their issues in the first book, and had to move forward and work together quite a bit in this one, I’m so happy everything worked out the way it did. The banter was great, their little found family is so strong even with Jude being unsure of the Fox and her group. Jake and Liam?! Ugh, I love them together!
To Shatter the Night made me feel every emotion - tension, familial love, romantic love, frustration, hatred, surprise. The adventure and fantasy, the magic. Gods. All of it.
The writing was much better than in the first book, although I still enjoyed that one quite a bit as well. This one gave me to same feeling that Throne of Glass did. And maybe there’s a possibility of a spinoff with that ending
