Welcome to Litsy!

4/5

With a new theory of where the Heirarch's Well may be, Kai and his allies work to ensure that no new Heirarch will be created. In the past, Kai must work to bring the dust witches into Bashasa's army as they continue their fight to defeat the Heirarchs.

I love the ways the two story entangle. We know how the war ends, but the details of what truly happened are slowly revealed through both the past and present story lines.

I didn‘t find this one quite as immersive and difficult to put down as the first, but Wells is an incredibly gifted storyteller. There‘s plenty of action and deep history of the world Wells created. If the real world wasn‘t such a mess, I probably would have loved this more and finished it faster. Kudos to Wells for keeping me coming back.

I know a lot of people don't like this series because it's not a Murderbot clone but I really enjoy my time in this world with these characters. Once again this is a dual timeline narrative and both were compelling looks at Kai and the gang. There was a sense of closure for the narrative arcs but still left room for the story to grow.

It‘s finally the weekend so now I can binge this. I‘m also excited to use the bookmark one of the ladies at my work book club made.

Thanks to Tor and NetGalley for the eARC of Queen Demon. This was an amazing follow up to The Witch King. You MUST read The Witch King first.
