Wonderful!!

I love the series of Melissa Caruso’s books. They are exciting and suspenseful. Always hard to put down. Her characters have such depth.

Love! New favorite series!

I gave this a four stars out of five. I am really loving this series it’s a new favorite. I can’t wait to get the physical copy of these books!

Great book

I truly enjoyed the book the characters are intriguing and The ending was interesting. Can’t wait for the next one to come up and truly hope that it’s on audible.

Wonderful!!!

I really enjoyed both of the books in this series. Senn is a fantastic voice actor, I even teared up at one of the really heartbreaking moments. The only issue I had was that the sound cut off early at the end of Chapter 22! I don't think it affected much, but I was certainly confused.

Amazing

I loved this sequel. Great development for the whole Rookery, as well as Severin and Whisper.

A few great twists, and a feeling of an end, though a definite cliffhanger. some questions were answered, more were left until later as well as a few new ones to think about until the next installment.

would definitely recommend

Where's book 3!?

I really enjoyed this sequel! I think it was actually better than the first book. The person who read the audio book did an excellent job of giving each character a unique voice. I could always tell who was speaking even if I missed their name. I also really enjoyed getting to find out more about each character and seeing how the events of the book changed them, one way or the other, and how far they've come since we met them in book 1. And the demons and their powers were all very intriguing. Several major revelations were had by the end of the book that had me at the edge of my seat not knowing what would happen next. Now there needs to be a book 3 because that ending was intense!

Madness!?

I don't think I will ever not like a book by Melissa Caruso. I absolutely loved her Swords and Fire trilogy and her Rooks and Ruin trilogy is cropping up to be just as good!

Ryx is an incredible protagonist to follow and I love how Caruso humanizes some of the demons. According to everything anyone's ever known, demons are the embodiment of evil, but she has you feeling sorry for them and hoping that they'll grow.

I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment.

Throne of glass

Got me out of my slump after the TOG series Thank you very well written!

Not suggested

ugh. don't buy. Could have been better with a really good editor. Highly repetitive dialogue and plot/character "changes." How many times in not one but two books must you say "it's all my fault, I have to help, I should have known, he was my friend, ECT.." again and again. And then the good guy is now bad guy and the bad guy is now the good guy and back again in a totally predictable way. Repetitive. Bought the first book and thought the author had possibility but the second book just continued same dialog same cliche character "changes." Resent spending my credits on this series but hey sometimes you do find a good writer.
