.LacyMB reviews KatHoward sequel ASleightofShadows, which offers a welcome, if sometimes uneven, return to her Unseen World.
was released, and many readers had likely assumed that novel was the end of the story of the Unseen World. The arrival of sequelfeels like a welcome gift, and although it never quite reaches the heights of its predecessor—let’s not kid ourselves,—it’s an enjoyable enough journey that gives us greater insight into the first book’s most memorable character.
New POVs are introduced, including a local teen who’s only just discovered her magical abilities and the cruel head of House Morgan, whose fury at being denied an easy path to access the power she sees as her due makes for an intriguing new angle with which to enter this story. But its more limited scope may frustrate some readers who were hoping for a more expansive follow-up. .
The lack of her magic makes Sydney a more interesting heroine—most of the challenges she faced in the first book were simply no match for the sheer scope of her power—and her lingering trauma over both her experiences in the House of Shadow and the things she had to do to fight it provide fertile emotional ground for her character.
