This is the sequel to Dance of Thieves which I reviewed HERE. This is also a sequel duology to The Remnant Chronicles, which I haven't blogged about even though it is literally once of my favorite series of all times. Blogging struggles. Anyways. The first three books are amazing, so here's some amazon links: BOOK 1 - THE KISS OF DECEPTION, BOOK 2 - THE HEART OF BETRAYAL, and BOOK 3 - THE BEAUTY OF DARKNESS. I would highly recommend reading those three books before reading this book. Oh, and also read Dance of Thieves before reading this book.
...so yeah. Here's an amazon summary, "Vow of Thieves is the thrilling sequel to Dance of Thieves, set in the same world as Mary E. Pearson's New York Times-bestselling Remnant Chronicles.
Kazi and Jase have survived, stronger and more in love than ever. Their new life now lies before them―the Ballengers will be outlaws no longer, Tor's Watch will be a kingdom, and Kazi and Jase will meet all challenges side by side, together at last.
But an ominous warning mars their journey back, and they soon find themselves captured in a tangled web of deceit woven by their greatest enemies and unlikeliest allies, a place where betrayals run deeper and more deadly than either had thought possible, and where timeless ambitions threaten to destroy them both." AMAZON LINK OF JUSTICE
Kazi and Jase are returning to Tor's Watch only to immediately come under siege. As they approach, arrows are shot at Jase. Five of them land before Kazi manages to make Jase's horse escape into the nearby woods. Kazi is captured by the forces that took over Tor's Watch, and she's forced to tell the people of Tor's Watch that Jase is dead, executed by the other kingdoms. Kazi hopes that Jase is alright, and she fights to save the Ballengers from what's befallen Tor's Watch.
Meanwhile, Jase was rescued and spirited away to the settlement to recover from someone working on the inside, but who?
Jase and Kazi don't know each other is alive, but they're both fighting for Tor's Watch. But what exactly happened to get the kingdom to such a place?
dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn
I don't want to say too much because I feel like it gives away the big finale of the last book... but then again, the last book does kind of let the pieces fall into place for how Tor's Watch was overtaken. ....you'll know what's going on if you read the last book.
Anyways.
I loved Kazi in this book, so so so so much. Not only was she a badass in the last book, she continues to be a badass in this book, and steps it up even further. Kazi also seems to come into her own even more so. She takes these vulnerable aspects of herself and seems to make them her greatest strenghts. It's amazing.
Jase, is, well Jase. They really play into the love aspect this book between them, which is exciting, but I kind of feel like Jase didn't get to grow nearly as much as Kazi did, but I feel like he was already showcased a lot in the previous book, so it was more breathtaking for him to be resilient with who he is in the face of everything that happens.
The plot unfolded well, the situation of Tor's Watch really set the tone for the story (kind of like gritty hope), and it wrapped up really well with giving us more hints as to how the ancients destroyed the world in the first place.
It was so good. Loved it to bits.
Happy reading!
