The Last Hope: The Chosen, Book 2
Against incredible odds, Malina has not only become a Chosen, but has found friendship, love, and a home in the Mountain of Souls.
Yet, despite the rewards, this journey has taken a heavy toll. Plagued by remorse and with her conscience stained by the many lives she's taken, Malina's growing doubts give rise to difficult questions.
Only the Once and Future King has the answers, but seeking the truth can uncover lies capable of destroying the foundations of even the strongest belief.
And hell hath no fury like a Chosen deceived.

Again, this had an interesting premise and some solid world-building, but overall it just didn’t quite win me over. In hindsight, I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting after not really loving the first book, and this instalment didn’t change my mind much.
Malina’s character felt noticeably different at times, which made it harder to stay invested, and the pacing was uneven, with some chapters dragging while others raced ahead (I know I have said this before on the first books review also).
I also spent a fair amount of time trying to work out whether scenes were actually happening or if Malina was dreaming again — a few italics might’ve saved me some double takes and me audibly saying “what the f**k?” out loud. I’ll keep going with the series for my reading goal, but yeah - no high hopes.
