Synopsis (Goodreads):
I can only believe Amaranthe thinks the same. Which is a little funny, because Amaranthe deals with things by deflection and humor. Which isn't to say she's as emotionally battened down as Sicarius, but STILL.
Anywho. Things are moving toward their inevitable end. I say inevitable because something has to give at some point, for good or bad. The city's practically under siege, Sicarius is causing mayhem, Forge is chaos and blood. Then there's the matter of Sespian's claim to the throne. SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE.
I am immensely pleased with how things played out for this crew. They fought against incredible odds and somehow came out on top. Well, for the most part. Things might not have turned out precisely how they expected or planned, but they ended up changing things in a big way.
Even better: It's not quite the end of their adventures. Yessssss.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Amaranthe Lokdon survives her reckless plan to destroy the enemy’s weapon-filled super aircraft only to learn that thousands of people perished when it crash landed. Half of her team is missing...or dead. Meanwhile, the fighting in the capital has escalated, the Imperial Barracks have been taken by a pretender, and a deadly new danger threatens the populace. Amaranthe’s hopes of returning Emperor Sespian to the throne and bringing peace to the empire are dwindling by the hour.Thoughts on Forged in Blood II: Sicarius under the control of someone who delights in mayhem and viscera is...not a good thing. Not at all. The poor guy's finally figuring out that he's more than just a straight up killer and he's being forced to do some very awful things all over again. Might I just add, his regret over what he did while under the influence made me cheer. Sicarius plays his cards close to the vest, so when he opens up and shares it's momentous.
To make matters worse, her strongest ally—and closest friend—has been captured and is under a powerful wizard’s control. If she can’t figure out a way to free Sicarius, he may kill them all when next they meet...

This one doesn't look to bad, might get to reading it soon. I am finishing The Dark Land by DM Shepard, dmshepard.com for the info. It's been so good, set in the back woods of Alaska which is scary and the element of the paranormal really fits there!
