Kel Kade was an author that came into my life in 2019 when I first read her King's Dark Tidings series and I loved it. She also had a new series starting that same year and Fate of the Fallen was book one and lord was it a brilliant book. So to say Destiny of the Dead is one of my most anticipated releases is an understatement. It has been a long wait for this sequel but that is alright, Kel Kade announced that she had some personal complications which caused the delay. Well guess what fellow readers, that wait was so worth it.
Destiny of the Dead picks up almost immediately after the events of Fate of the Fallen and then takes off at a break neck pace. The pacing of this series is wonderful. There is really never a moment to breath. When there is though the character development is on point. Once again we are following Aaslo and many more characters. Where Fate of the Fallen was tackling the themes of Fate and what comes of the fallen, see what the title did their. Destiny of the Dead digs deep into the themes of Destiny. Not just for the living but for the dead as well. Everyone has a Destiny. Aaslo continues to be a strong lead for this series while also being on the unstable side. With every turn of the page his sanity is slowly and slowly fading away. However Kel Kade is able to make this serious development seem so humorous with her writing style. Some other knockout performances came from Teza, Inej, Cherri, Myropa, Arayallen, Axus, and Pithor.
I truly love how chaotic this series is. There is nothing else like it out in the world today. The Shrouds of Prophecy series is shaping up to be one I will remember for years and years to come. I know we do not have a release date yet for book three, but we do have a title, Sanctum of the Souls. WHAT A GREAT TITLE! Honestly have no clue if book three will be the last. I don't think it will be because there is so much left to unpack, so I hope this series will continue past book three. Until then I have to bide my time with not one, but two King's Dark Tidings books being released this year! This page is about to be a Kel Kade stan page!
