As the Shadow Rises by Katy Rose Pool
4.0
* I received a eARC of this from Fierce Reads.
This story just keeps shocking me with how much I love and enjoy it! Honestly, as a “bookstagrammer,” I am shocked that I don’t see more people reviewing and talking about this series!
This book picks up directly after the events of TWCAD, following our five different points of view. I think one of my favorite parts about this story is that there are five different characters with stories of their own and they all weave into each other’s lives.
The way Katy Rose Pool has written this story is just mind blowing. As the Shadow Rises (and TWCAP) is full of twists and turns, romance (even though in my opinion, it isn’t to centered on the romance) and we see our characters struggle and grow a lot.
The only character I would have loved to seen more progress with is Ephyra but I have a feeling we’ll be seeing that in the final installment. I did love that we saw more of Beru though since her chapters were very few and far in between in There Will Come a Darkness! I was able to better understand her character and feel more of an attachment to her.
Overall, I love the way Pool can move her stories along. No parts of this story every felt dull or unnecessary to me, the pacing was always perfect and I love how it just completely picked up where the first one ended and kept going. There wasn’t too much explaining it any info dumping, I just felt like I was watching a movie the entire time!
