Hamad's Reviews > Wrath of Empire

Sins of Empire ★★★★
Wrath of Empire ★★★ 1/2

Unfortunately, I enjoyed this book less than the first entry. I see that in this series, this entry has the highest rating, but I can't agree very much with that notion.

There was something weird about this book; the writing and pacing are similar to the first book, but I found myself impatient with the slow pacing and I kept getting in and out of the story. I considered DNFing the book at one point, but I decided to push through, and the last part was kind of satisfying.

The characters are interesting but while in book one I found myself enjoying them all equally, this time there was a difference and I enjoyed Ben's POV more than the other two characters. Vlora is not bad but for some reason Michel was kind of boring and he kept getting tortured and then falling into unconsciousness which felt repetitive and even the character mentions that at one point.

So, I don't have much to say here, I enjoyed book one more. This entry focused more on the war schemes, and it was less exciting overall with a slower pacing. The characters did not provoke the emotions they did in the first book, and it took me double the time to finish it compared to Sins of Empire.
