The Deck of Omens by C.L. Herman
4.0
Content warnings: spread of virus/disease, death, gore, grief
Cast your mind back to this time last year, I wrote my review for The Devouring Gray, a book I thought was a good debut, though struggled with pacing. Whilst I had some issues with The Devouring Gray, I still had a good time with it and was excited to read the sequel this year.
Following the events of the first book things are a lot different in Four Paths. The town knows Justin doesn’t have any powers, there’s a weird disease plaguing the town and May’s dad and Isaac’s brother are back in town. Weird things are happening and no one is sure what to do to fix it.
The Deck of Omens has had a few release issues in the UK, it was originally to be released in late April, then was pushed to late May, and eventually ended up at it’s original April release date. However, I hope that doesn’t put anyone off as I think this was a great conclusion to the duology.
I will say that this book suffers from similar pacing issues to the first book, I was a bit bored for the first third of this book, which shows improvement from the first as that took a solid three quarters to get into it. I felt like it actually could have done with more reminders of the plot of the first book, as I was not only a little bit bored but also confused as I forgot who everyone was.
