Howling Dark: The Sun Eater: Book Two

good book

What can I say about this book, EASILY one of my top 5 reads ever. This book introduces you to some mind blowing challenges and changes that Hadrian faces. The "ah hah" moment for me was when I come to find out who is on the cover of the book. Super cool story and lots of Sci-fi goodies. Pacing was great for the book.

Better than book one The second half of this book I read in one day could not put it down.

Muy buen libro

Like Empire of Silence, this is one thick ass book. A highly verbose book but well worth the read. Unlike Empire of Silence, this book is much better (I did like EoS). Lots more action, lots more of space opera politics, plots within plots, prophecies, etc. The last 200, or so pages are jammed packed with action and really brought the book alive. I saw LOTS of inspiration from Dune and Star Wars, almost too much on the nose. Did I mind that, a little if I’m honest - however it doesn’t reflect my review of the book. I understand stories can be retold in different ways with some same source materials. Like my review of EoS, I’ll need to take a break from such a dense book, however it’ll be shorter one than two months because I want to know what happens next.
