This is the second book in the Raybearer series, and I must say it didn’t disappoint. Though, If you want action throughout - Raybearer brings it all.
.
Tarisai is the first Empress Redemptor of Aristar. She now has to anoint a counsel of her own to come into her full power as a Raybearer. This is to appease the sinister spirits of the dead that she has made a promise to go into the underworld. With assassin attempts and child spirits haunting her, Tar is under plenty of pressure. The biggest decision she must make is whether she will die for justice or live for it.
.
This was an interesting finale to the first book, where we now see Tar grow up and her journey in fulfilling her promise of going into the underworld. It was interesting to see who stood beside her, who left, and their “why”. Though, I feel that as with many hero’s the lasting decision is always their own!
And yet she still couldn’t trust her own mother, even in death!
It’s always a great thing when the second books give a proper ending to a great story! Though this is a YA, it doesn’t read like one!
