Goodreads Synopsis:
The world is overrun with monsters called Nemeses—and a young boy infected by one will stop at nothing to defeat them all!
Evil
creatures called Nemeses fall from the skies and the only ones who can
fight them are Wizards—infected ones who survived a Nemesis's
corruption. Seth, one of these survivors, vows not only to fight the
Nemeses, but to find their mythical nest, Radiant, and destroy it!
The
battle for Caislean Merlin rages on. Queen Boadicée enters the fray at
great risk to her own life while Seth’s friend Ocoho, of the Queen’s
forces, wrestles with a shocking revelation about Mordred, her most
trusted comrade in arms. Seth’s other friend, Mélie, must deal with
Liselotte, an Inquisitor who captured her while infiltrating Caislean
Merlin. And Doc, Seth’s most reluctant ally, shows up with a couple of
"friends" who could play a big part in the conflict between Inquisitors
and Wizards.
Review:
Everyone is under attack in this volume, and it's getting much more serious. The wizard knights are fighting hard, and their queen is even on the front lines doing what she can. Melie is off fighting her own one-on-one battle. Ocoho is up on the flying ship being betrayed by her childhood friend.
And then Seth is down on the ground, doing what he can, to get to the bottom of it all with the main enemies. When, as
the volume ends, he's faced with a big, surprising casualty that I
was not expecting, and another reveal that makes sense but is also
surprising, it's clear things are going to get hard after this.
This volume was intense in several parts, and I definitely want to read the next one after that cliffhanger. After what we learned in the previous couple volumes, that blow hits hard.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
