The only word I can use to describe this book is Masterpiece. This book absolutely blew me away. I really enjoyed Empire of Silence and the world Christopher Ruocchio was building. This book took everything I enjoyed from EoS and brought it to new heights. I have a full review of Howling Dark on my Channel: https://youtu.be/NN8vFw4NNo0
I received a digital ARC of this copy from Netgalley. I started the Sun Eater series this year by Christopher Ruocchio and it is easily my favourite sci-fi series and one of my favourite series of all time. I was very excited to read this book and I am equally excited to leave a review. My video review is also here:

This book is a very different Sun Eater novel. Hadrian goes to places in the galaxy we have not seen before. You meet human societies different to those previously encountered by Hadrian inside and outside of the Sollan Empire.
With Demon in White showcasing the rising star that is Hadrian Marlowe. Kingdoms of Death highlights, the higher your climb the further you have to fall. This book is the darkest entry in the series yet. Hadrian again has to face formidable enemies, he also faces incredible internal and emotional struggles.
The world building going on in this book is some of Christopher's best work, he show cases Xenobite society thoroughly in this book and I loved it.
This book was hard to read at time, and as I mentioned above it had some dark moments. However, the events in this book will stay with me and be pivotal in the development of the story and the protagonist Hadrian going forward.
It may not be my favourite Sun Eater book, but it definitely is one of the most memorable.
