A review by bobbykarmakar
Empire of Night by Kelley Armstrong
5.0
“This is the sort of thing I grew up with, Ash. To trick people, you prey on their worst fears by weaving a scenario just realistic enough to convince them. No matter what the emperor says, those who wish to see him guilty of this will.”
Having read Sea of Shadows and knowing how that ended, I was very eager to read this sequel and am so glad to see the story progress. Since this is also a trilogy, I’m now anticipating for the third and final book. Especially with that ending, AHH!!
The main reason why I love this book so much is because I needed an escape from the real world; seriously perfect timing! When I first encountered with Kelley’s work, they were her adult novels. I read some and will always fan for her as one of my absolute favourite authors. As well, being a past student of hers in the UofT Summer Writing School: Dark Fantasy class that I took a couple years ago, she used the world in Sea of Shadows when discussing world building. That is what primarily influenced me to pick up Sea of Shadows as my first taste of her writing in the YA category. Simply put, this is the great escape people need when they read fantasy. As for Kelley’s YA writing in general, I'm thrilled to have started with Age of Legends.
