Hel's Eight by Stark Holborn
5.0
Brilliant!
Loved the first book, Ten Low, and Hel's Eight follows on by ramping the stakes up to 11! Think Mad Max meeting Firefly in the desolate Outer Rim territories (Tatooine) of Star Wars with plenty of action, especially in the final third!
Great to reacquaint with some of the characters from the first book, and to see how events from that book has affected them, none moreso than Ten herself, who's living in isolation until a surprise visit from Gabi sets things in motion.
The mystical Ifs, or 'them' as they are mostly referred as, play a bigger part here. And was good to see some of their mystery explored.
The journal interludes of one of the early convicts to arrive on Factus, adds another layer of lore, and neatly ties up some threads by the end of the book.
Overall, really enjoyed this book, plenty of drama and action with some great characters. Can't wait for the next book!
