The Soul's Instruments

The Aspect, Book 2

By: Mark Holloway

Narrated by: Joel Jackson

Kehlem the Butcher. Hero. Villain. A pale ghost that haunts the empire, or righteous revenant of Casere. Titles thrust upon him that he had no desire to bear, charged by the Aspect itself to end the Vin Empire. And yet, his true and only desire is to get to Mercy before the empire does, to salvage his only chance at redemption.

But change is coming. He can feel it in the crushing weight of his waking nightmares. See it in the uprisings in the empire. Hear it in the hushed rumors of Seer assassinations.

The Aspect demands retribution. Balance. Where there was Order, may there be Chaos.

Long live Chaos.

Strong second half

This book took me a long time to get into. The first half was dark and there didn’t seem to be any true purpose. They had goals, but they didn’t know how to achieve those goals or what the result of accomplishing those goals would be. This resulted in a lot of meandering that kept me from getting into the story.

But that ending…it was quite something.
