Castle of Sorrows by Jonathan Janz
4.0
If you follow me on social media, you might’ve noticed me coveting this book for some time now. I scoured the internet to no avail trying to find a previously-released copy for a reasonable price. Thankfully, my whining ended when the Flame Tree Press version arrived a bit early. It might seem trivial to others, but having this long-awaited book from a favorite author arrive when it did was a blessing in disguise. I lost my dad a week before receiving this book, and it provided an emotional escape that I needed at the time.
CASTLE OF SORROWS is a solid follow-up to its predecessor. Like all Janz novels, it’s packed with unforgettable characters, excellent pacing, and bits of humor and heart. I was rooting for the protagonist, appalled by some of the villains, and left hoping that this storyline will become a trilogy.
As with all of the Janz novels I’ve read before, this one was difficult to set aside once I started reading. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a third book in this series, and will continue singing this author’s praises as I await what comes next.
