mweis 's review for:

The Eidolon by K.D. Edwards
4.0
dark emotional funny mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

The Eidolon is a short companion novel to The Hourglass Throne, following Quinn, Max, and Anna through the events of that book. KD very helpfully provides a guide to how the chapters of each line up, so on reread I’ll likely use that to read them concurrently, but for this read I had literally just finished a reread of the trilogy before my copy of this book arrived, which is stunning.

While I wouldn’t say this book is necessary to understand the other books, it does give some fun clues to what is going to happen in the next trilogy (seriously some of the reveals made me rethink everything we’ve seen so far) and it offers more insight into the kids as up to now we’ve only ever seen events from Rune’s perspective. 

All in all, this was a fun addition to a world I love, and I will happily keep reading whatever KD writes in it.
