Week 46 Review: Cloak of Night

From Goodreads:

After the devastating Ceremony of Two Hundred Hearts, Sora, Daemon, Fairy, and Broomstick are truly alone in the fight to save their kingdom. Empress Aki is missing, and everyone else who could help them is a prisoner to the Dragon Prince's mind control.

At least Sora understands what they're up against. Or so she believes, until she overhears the Dragon Prince bargaining with the god of war for immortality and learns that ryuu magic may be a more insidious danger than she realized.

Suddenly, the stakes are higher and even more personal for Sora—not only must she stop a seemingly indestructible Prince Gin, but she must also unravel the secrets of ryuu magic before it is too late for nearly everyone she loves.

And as Sora, Daemon, Fairy, and Broomstick face dangerous obstacles at every turn, the greatest challenge may be discovering who they truly are, and what, if anything, they are capable of.

My Review:
I had a great time reading this other half to the duology! I loved continuing to watch these characters go on this adventure, to take back the throne of  Kichona. And the stakes are higher, now that Gin is now the Emperor. Oh, and that there's a price to pay for the ryuu magic.

Just like the first book, we're in the League of Rogue's perspectives. We got the most of Sora, then Daemon, then a bit of Fairy, and a tiny bit of Broomstick, as well as Aki and Hana. They were apart for  a lot of this book, and in different groups, so it was great to see the various dynamics! 

There's a lot that's different, now that Gin has taken over. Zomuri is the patron god of Kichona, and that's changed the people. The Leage of Rogues is on their own, facing off against all the controlled friends. And there's so much to learn. Like the fact that Daemon is a demi-god, and why he's on Earth. The cost of ryuu magic. And they're faced with restoring Empress Aki to the throne. A big task for just the 4 of them! 

I loved the direction that this book went in, with the various quests, and as well romantically. I didn't really like Fairy and Daemon together, after all, Daemon had interest with Sora, but that's forbidden for gemina. But she was showing interest by the end, just when he got with Fairy, so I'm glad how that turned out. As well how their quest, well, there were losses, but ultimately, there was victory, and I loved where they ended up! 

I had a great time listening to this audiobook, and it was such a great story! I need more from Evelyn Skye!
