Download Your Copy The Suicide King Volume 2 (Fallocaust, #5) Created By Quil Carter Supplied As Paperback
the last four days, I have been horrified, traumatised, heartbroken, There have been parts of this book that I had to walk away from and get myself together, Parts that I really thought I couldn't go on, I have loved every minute, The best installment of this crazy series, so far, My beloved Elish's book is next, This has the potential to break me like no book ever has before, Bring it on. "The cold chimera is back" Once again, I was lucky enough to be able to beta read this book,
Fallocaust has quickly become more than just a book series I love it's now one of my favorite book series, full stop one of the first books I suggest when anyone is looking for something new to read.
The Suicide King: Volume Two is, perhaps, the most epic book in the series so far, as well as the book which pushes the moral ambiguity of the series into focus.
The book picks up directly where volume one left off: The unlikely group of Reaver, Killian, Nero and Ceph are living together in Turris, recuperating from the tragic events of the finale of volume one events which could have catastrophic repercussions for Reaver and Killian's relationship, as well as the uneasy friendship Reaver has built with Nero, much to Killian's chagrin. The newly reunited Elish and Jade are enjoying a honeymoon period in Shadowtown a honeymoon which is cut short by a meeting with an old friend that sends them to Melchai and brings them into contact with the proxy worms.
And in Skyfall, things are going to hell, Gage has thrown his lot in with the Crimstones, making them more dangerous than ever, and quickly embarks on a campaign of terrorism with nightmarish repercussions not just for the chimera, but quite possibly for humanity itself.
One thing that's been constant throughout the series so far, gaining more prominence as it moves forward, is the moral ambiguity, In a lot of ways the heroes are no better than the villains Elish might be the big good in the sense that he wants to take down a tyrant, but the question of whether he'd be any better has been raised again and again, but this book not only raises more questions as to his leadership, but goes out of its way to show that Silas has the potential, at least, to be a good ruler. It's worth noting that while he was introduced as the big bad we quickly learned that the agenda that brings him into direct conflict with Reaver is relatively smallscale. It's fitting, then, that after being given a chance to move on, and as his relationship with Reno develops, we see hints of a good leader albeit one who has to deal with a nearapocalyptic crisis without his most trusted adviser on his side.
The characters, as a whole, are all beautifully realized, showing more and more depth in light of the horrific events each has gone through over the course of the books, but they each build themselves up from the ashes stronger than ever, even if they have to fight like hell to get there. Gage quickly proves himself to be not just a formidable enemy, but one of the most powerful character's in the entire series, and the threat that both he and the proxies represent brings out the best and worst in the character's.
Jade, as always, is my favorite character, and he's grown from an impetuous Aladdin figure into not just one of, if not the single most powerful chimeras in the series, but a young man who's learning to stand up for himself, take charge, and do what he thinks is right even when it's not easy, but several character's I originally either didn't like or didn't care about to the same extent as some of the leads have quickly become some of my favorites. Newer character's, like Adler, quickly fit themselves into the constantly expanding roster as naturally as if they'd always been there, with their own hopes and dreams an agendas.
Overall, The Suicide King is overall the strongest book in the series so far, partly by virtue of throwing the character's into situations so far outside of anything they've experienced so far. The more submissive of each of the two main pairings, Killian and Jade, have more responsibility than they've ever had thrust on their shoulders, and it falls to them to be the strong ones while their respective partners are learning to be weak the result is that the couples evolve into more equal couples. The character's continue to grow and grow as the series moves forward, While few of them if any can be said to be truly heroic, they're growing to the point where they're increasingly selfsacrificing while at least not yet reaching the point of true altruism.
This book will make you cry, cringe, and laugh out loud, There's stuff in the book which is right up there with some of the most horrific things that Quil has ever written, as well as being not just the greatest book Volume one and two of the series thus far, but one of the best things I've ever read so far.
I've said it before that in a just universe, this series would be on the fast track to a HBO show, and I hope that the day comes when that happens. STARS
Totally and utterly AWESOME!!!!! The plot rocks and all the nasty little games and moves on the board are finally laid bare and it's just like the mother of all holy shit's as each plot or insane grasp for pure gluttony of gaining power is so greedy it just keeps getting more shocking. It's like everything is happening at such an exponential rate the book SCREAMS over the finish line,
It was so great to see the years worth of manoeuvre's, backstabbing and insane scenario's unfurl within the book because some had been well overyears in the planning as some people are immortal, so the pure amount of time Quil must have poured into just constructing the plot and many subplots alone is extraordinary. There is just so much demented mind games I ended up reading it in one sitting,
All the main players are well established and are all excellent in their own right too so there's no need to discuss them but what happens to them is ARGH!!
MY GOD agnostically SPEAKING what a cliffhanger. Hello there. This is Rosas sabroso review,
Once again mr, Carter delights us with a book full of adventures and emotions, Not only characters show unexpected colors, but the sense of suspense and danger barrage readers with mixed feelings and adrenaline,
The last volume of The Suicide King offers an ode to the powers of decisions and what every human is willing to endure to survive. Moral ambiguity is made a commandment here and the worst scenario can bring the best or the ugliest of every man,
And in the end one must be reminded that those who fight monsters should make damn sure they dont become one,
