A review by fabulousdave
Malarkoi by Alex Pheby

5.0

An excellent follow-up to Mordew! Pheby does a brilliant job of building out the world and mythology while still keeping the action moving forward. I appreciated the recap of the previous book and dramatis personae of this book, which teased without giving too much away. The only thing that didn't connect with me were the appendices. So much happened in the story proper and it ends on an exciting note that the appendices dialed things back a bit too much. They added nuance to side characters which was good to know but some of the information felt like plot points I had already assumed to be true. In any case, loved the book and very excited to see how the trilogy ends!
