Week 46 Review: Dark Heir

From Goodreads:

In this riveting sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel Dark Rise, Will and his allies have survived the Dark's first assault, but at a terrible cost.

A new threat from the past is rising, and only a handful of heroes remain to fight. Pursued by dark forces, Will and his allies must leave the safety of the Hall and travel to the heart of the ancient world, making new and dangerous alliances, and revealing the shocking secrets of the past.

But Will is carrying a dark secret of his own—his true identity. Drawn to the beautiful and deadly James St. Clair, Will is pulled ever deeper into the web of the past, and finds himself tempted by the darkness within. As the ancient world threatens to return, can Will and his friends fight their fate? Or will the truths they learn tear their world apart?

Dark Heir is the explosive and highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestselling Dark Rise, from global phenomenon C. S. Pacat.

My Review:
Well, I loved reading this book! I loved the first, and I was really looking forward to this one, after those reveals that we got at the end. Boy, was it a fantastic story, and I loved following along with these characters as events happened! So much was learned, and I need more! 

Will is dealing with the fact that he's the Dark King reborn, but he's keeping it a secret, given that technically it means that he's the one that the rest of them are working against. So that was a difficult situation to be in. Especially once he started getting the memories, and his relationship with James.

I'm dubious about the Lady, but I think the Sun King is a bad guy, that memory of the oubliette, not great! I don't remember much of the kings part of the story from the first book, but I'm really hoping that the Dark King, Will, is not the bad guy that they think he is.

But that ending, that was just as evil as the first one! That they would do that, to cause all those deaths, because they don't trust him, that was infuriating. But where we left these characters, its going to be so great to see how they deal with it all! 

This was an amazing read and I need book 3!
