In this
second book in the Black City trilogy, Ash and Natalie are leading a rebellion
against the Sentry who is trying to unite the country into one race and one
religion. Ash is half darkling and
Natalie is a human, but they are fighting Purian Rose because he is trying to
kill anyone who is different. The
country is in a state of unrest with civil wars being fought throughout the
different sectors, but Ash and Natalie have their own quest to find a poison to
kill Purian Rose. Natalie’s friend
Elijah joins them in their efforts and causes a rift between Ash and
Natalie.
As far as a middle novel in a
trilogy goes, this one has lots of action and the main story moves along, with
a few new problems added in. The world
building is easy to follow and the characters’ cause is noble and as a reader I
wanted them to succeed. This book leaves
the reader hanging and I’m anxious for the last book in the trilogy.
