![]() ![]() ![]() She is so wonderfully unapologetic about who she is, she doesn’t feel like she needs to become more masculine to become a street lord, she will wear her lipstick and her heels and her pearls and also wield a revolver and that is wonderful. She has grown so much from who she was initially in Ace of Shades and she goes through even more development in this book. I felt like this book really expanded the scope of the world, which I loved.Įnne is 100% my favourite character in this book. We get even more expansion of the world in this book, lots of amazing new locations and we get to see the South Side for the first time which is pretty awesome because you really get the contrast between the North and South Sides. I think it’s so important for dark books to have a bit of levity in them and Amanda Foody definitely achieved that balance. #City of fools 2 fullI also really loved how funny this book was? I don’t remember the last book having quite so many funny quips, but this one was chock full of them, I laughed out loud so many times which was great. Much as with the first book, Amanda Foody is amazing at writing setting and atmosphere and every time I opened the book, I felt completely immersed in the City of Sin. I really love Amanda Foody’s writing and I would definitely say I think it has improved since Ace of Shades, not that her writing in Ace of Shades was bad, it was really good, but in this book it was even better, I could pick out more than a dozen different lines that I really loved, especially the opening line of the book, it really drew me back into the City of Sin. We get a map at the beginning of this book which I loved, as a massive fantasy nerd, there’s nothing that I love more than a map, although since it was an e-arc, I couldn’t flip back and refer to it as I would in a physical book, but that didn’t really matter, it was just nice that it was there.

Saving his life in the Shadow Game forced Enne to assume the identity of Seance, a mysterious underworld figure. On the quest to find her missing mother, prim and proper Enne Salta became reluctant allies with Levi Glaisyer, the city’s most famous con man. Indulge your vices in the City of Sin, where a sinister street war is brewing and fame is the deadliest killer of them all… Amanda Foody definitely struck me in the feels with this book and the ending really made me wish that I had the third book to read, like right now! Here is a short synopsis of the book: The stakes are higher, everything moves a lot faster, I was more familiar with the world and there are so many awesome new characters introduced. I’m happy to say that I really loved this book, even more than Ace of Shades. I really enjoyed Ace of Shades when I read it last year, and after the cliffhanger at the end of it, I was super excited to get to King of Fools. I received this book from HQ Young Adult, through Netgalley UK, in exchange for an honest review.Īs always, thank you so much to HQ Young Adult and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book early, this was a massively anticipated release for me this year, so getting the chance to read it early was amazing.
