Summary
"Sometimes, you need to consider the past to see what the future holds." (Journal of Robert Mannford, Day 052, Year 00)
Wayran knows his strange dreams are visions into the future and that Mannford's machines are not yet done with humanity. The keys to understanding all their fates lie within the madman's journal he found in the Wastes. However, none of that will matter if he and his brother Matoh cannot clear their names after the mysterious catastrophe during the academy's initiation ceremony.
New Toeron, the capital city of Salucia, is on the verge of a riot as a string of horrific and racist murders continues to escalate within its walls. John Stonebridge and the Constabulary race to uncover the real motive behind the terrible crimes and catch the killer before it's too late.
The invasion of the Kutsal Empire on the western fringes of the Nine Nations is well underway. The holy nation of Kenz fell to the invaders within a month, and the empire has plans for the rest of Salucia, but the fate of the Kutsal Empire is about to change as Jonah has awoken, and he now remembers his tragic past.

The story comes together
I started this book as soon as I finished the first. The book kept the momentum built by the first pulling the story threads together before delivering an amazing ending. Several mysteries introduced in the first book are revealed, but these leave further questions in their wake. I recieved a review copy of this book and was disappointed that it finished and I will have to wait for the final book.

Lady take me, I need book 3
This story is amazing before you know it your wishing you could siphon.
The characters are rich with depth and detail and when you get comfortable the author isn’t afraid to throw you a curve ball.
One of the best books I have read in a very long time

An incredible world full of wonderful characters
This is now my favourite book series.
A perfect sequel as far as I'm concerned, fully expects you to have read the first book and doesn't waste much time at all on re-describing everything to you and it makes full use of that saved time and the already well developed characters to hit the ground running.
Lots of characters are now in the same place (or much closer than they were before) but everyone still has their own stuff going on and everyone gets an interesting journey to go on.
Backstory and worldbuilding is still meted out at just the right pace that you are constantly learning the histories and politics of this world but never getting bogged down with over exposition and it's always kept relevant to what is going on (this is especially noticeable to me as I read another fantasy series that seemed to start each chapter with several pages worth of lore about the gods that ended up having no bearing on the story whatsoever).
I don't think I've ever cared for fictional characters as much as I have for those in this book, I genuinely get distressed when they are put in perilous situations (even when I'm re-reading) and this is definitely a testament both to how well written they are and how well performed this book is, Rhys David really does bring the words to life here, everyone has a clear and distinct voice and accent (plus accents are pretty consistent for for characters that come from the same areas without sounding like the same voice), the action scenes are read with a level of urgency and excitement that make it difficult not to get swept up in the moment and the emotional scenes do have such passion that you can't help but care for those involved.
I cannot recommend this series enough and in fact I do recommend it to everyone even if they ask for books in other genres because I just need more people to talk to about it!
