A Game of Knights
Stranded in a game of life, death, and repeat, Xander strides into his second round with a confidence that is quickly snuffed out. Though he begins as his own worst enemy, others come into the fray, and fear sets in as Xander witnesses a man tear another apart with his bare hands. He’ll need more than courage and determination if he hopes to see this cycle to its end.
To make matters worse, rumors of a powerful fire user has spread, and is making anxious waves throughout the map. He introduces himself by attacking a graveyard, killing most, and inviting the frightened survivors to join him.
Enraged, Saris intends to put an end to the fire user, and Xander insists on joining the manhunt.
When they find their quarry, they don’t find a team – they find an army.

I received this as an ARC. Thanks, Steven!
The story basically begins where the first one left off. Again, the protagonists with first-person POVs were Xander, the lucky rookie, and Saris, the seasoned pro. The Saris chapters were more relevant than in the first book.
I would say it's more of the same but on a grander scale, with one major plotline.
The added lore helped to paint the developing picture. There was an ominous cliffhanger of sorts.
I pretty much breezed through this. It felt like a much shorter book than it was!
What's important is that it was fun. I liked the characters. And it was fun! Bring on "A Game of Rooks"!
