A review by nclcaitlin
Bringer of Dust by J.M. Miro
3.75
This sequel was so much more than book one! Horror, dark, twisted!
After the ruin book one left us, our characters are seeking the second orsine, a door between worlds, a way to cross into the land of the dead to find Marlowe, a living boy trapped within.
However, the world of the talents is vaster and stranger than Cairndale ever was and they haven't met the half of what's in it, yet.
The Dark Talent is rising and it will destroy everything and the lost drughr, the four who'd vanished centuries ago, were once more stirring.
“There aren't any grown-ups, Charlie. Not in the way you mean it. There's only just children what's gone and got too far away from their own childhoods. Sure, their bodies is all grown. But on the inside, everyone's all just about the same size."
The characters are definitely more fleshed out in this instalment and we get to see their innermost fears, ideals, and dark lurking thoughts.
What Miro does really well is shocking readers. Whether that be through the depravity, the gruesome accounts, the grief and horror of scenes, she writes with such vividness that it shocks and destroys you.
Not to mention, there are many plot twists and revelations. Even more so then book one, taking some of those and turning them on their head! Masterful and mind-bending!
Home isn't a place you go to. It's something you carry with you.
If you enjoyed The Northern Lights (Golden Compass), or Miss Peculiar’s Home for Peculiar Children, I would recommend this!
Thank you to Bloomsbury for providing an arc in exchange for a review!
