With Linus Mills missing in action and the cross-pack effort to bring down the rogue Eisenwolf and the Imago laying in tatters, Petra Donskoy is faced with yet another foe, one as old as civilisation itself; the scalen. Nikkos Maru’s past has finally caught up with him and there’s nothing anyone can do to help, not the Howlers, nor Petra, nor even Luca Alto, but there’s one beast from Maru’s navy days who won’t sit idly by.
Meanwhile, Rufus Valerio and company arrive in Hummelton ready to head to Queens Town and Felicia thereafter. However, even as Cora Hummel makes a request of Red-mist, one he cannot easily turn down, dire news comes regarding both Riddle Den and the Jua-mata tribe. It seems the whole world is out to scupper Rufus’ long-awaited dream. With freedom a stone’s throw away, does he look back, or press on?
The second half of Imperium Lupi II continues where the first left off, further uncovering the story behind Linus and Petra, and the depths to which some beasts will delve, or heights they might soar, in the name of ambition, hatred and love.
There’s not much to say that i havent said about Prelude. This is technically the second half of Lupi 2. Redemption is a spectacularly sattisfying conclusion to the 2000 pages of amazing character writing, action sequences that sometimes makes you root for both sides, and plenty of grey scenarios.
This is by far the best book i’ve ever read, and i’m so happy to hear that there will be a Lupi 3
Amazing book about political warfare with a dash of friendship, lovers, and character's past-present life. They are written quite well that it makes you wanna tag along their adventure and mischieve to see where they would end up. A lot of mind games definitely involve as well.
Nikkos, Rufus, Madou, and Linus definitely my most favorite character by far.
The second part of Imperium Lupi 2 is just as good as the Prelude. Once I finally started reading it, I couldn’t stop. It completely consumed me and took up almost all of my free time — so thanks for that, Adam. :D Some parts may have dragged on a little, but overall this is one of the best reads I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing.
