Summary
A corrupted power stirs from beyond the grave.
The Necromancer Queen will rise again.
An immersive and ambitious new series from the Aurealis Award-winning author of A Crucible of Souls.
In the wake of the rebel Niyandrians' abduction attempt, Anskar DeVantte, now a knight-inferior of the Order of Eternal Vigilance, has set sail with the Grand Master, bound for the mother house in Sansor.
Anskar has already begun to suspect that the Order's holy convictions aren't as pure as they appear, and his doubts are confirmed when the ship detours to the slave markets of Atya. As the Grand Master gathers an expedition to retrieve an ancient artifact from an unearthed ruin, Anskar finds himself torn between the holy path he is committed to and the grasping hands of those who wish to use his unique power: the Grand Master; the rebel leader, Carred Selenas; and even the Necromancer Queen herself.
When a depraved rot is exposed at the heart of the Order, Anskar is forced to confront the growing power of the dusk- and dark-tides within himself, and find a balance that won't see him damned in the eyes of his god.
But can a lowly knight-sorcerer resist his instincts to obey his superiors in the Order and fight the pull of Queen Talia's corrupted influence from beyond the grave?
The true danger is greater than even the Order realizes, and soon Anskar must decide who he can trust, and what he is willing to risk in order to carve out his own destiny, protect the world, and perhaps the fate of all Niyandrians.

Annoying yet fascinating main character
I like the storyline. It is an interesting plot. I enjoy the underlying theme of black and white thinking and a more nuanced view. I have to keep reminding myself that the main character Ansgar,is young to not get too annoyed at him being so slow to understand.
I like that Ansgar isn’t portrayed as a genius which enables me to understand his slower progression.
I loved the appearance of an old friend from another series that Mitchell Hogan has written I hope that he will continue to be a part of this story.

I would not be surprised if this was the 1st draft
Okay so the first book got me into the series, I found it deeply interesting and the ending made me want for more.
However this book is a full on nosedive. While the first book had plenty of people in desperate need of bonking it was to be expected because the main characters were teenagers and only one of them cared about the rules of the order when it comes to that stuff. However in this book most of the horndogs are supposed to be in their 30s as well as veterans of a long war, not teenagers who's hormones are going into overcharge.
The story is all over the place and while it has interesting ideas just like the first one but the writer is more interested in making the characters seem more and more stupid as the book goes on. Worse than idiot characters is the fact that everything just kinda works out according to their nonsensical plans because the writer probably didn't stop to think about what he was doing nor do I think that he wrote multiple drafts of the story.
How do you go from a solid story that made sense into the absolute nonsense that is book 2? This is the last book in the series I'll listen to and I feel like even that was too much.

What a mess of a book
All over the place, jumping from odd situation to odd situation, deeply unsatisfying follow up
