Darren and Tenebros are on the run. Their goal? Survive. While evading their hunters, they must hone their skills and recruit allies to take back their home and free the Bitten Knights-who are facing a ceremonial execution in less than thirty days.
At the Nest, Roark oversees the fortifications of the capital and has sent an enormous host of Swarmborne to hunt down Darren and his friends. Knowing well that the Wards are seeking allies, Roark decides to recruit some more warriors of his own...
Ryker and Hyperion, against their will, are faced with an impossible task. They must free three criminals from Dazawrath's most heavily guarded prison. Ryker quickly learns the Roost is not only home to killers and monsters, but ancient and terrible secrets that may just alter the fate of Dazawrath forever.
I was lucky enough to receive an early copy, and all I can say is this book did not disappoint. I will keep my review broad to avoid spoilers, but if you enjoyed the first book, then you will love this one. Watching all the Wards grow after quite literally being kicked out of the Nest is quite the journey, and I loved every page of it.
Ryker plays a slightly smaller role in the sequel compared to the first one, but his POV is still quite thrilling and filled to the brim with worldbuilding and lore reveals. Darren, on the other hand, finally starts to settle into his power and responsibilities. Trust me, we see some crazy stuff from him in this one.
All in all, this book continues to build on the things that made the first one so engaging while setting us up for what is sure to be an incredible finale.
Now it's time to sit back and wait patiently till the next one.
(PS, T.D. Orel, you're evil for "The edge of Abyss", that is all I will say.)
What an amazing sequel to Titan’s Nest! This book has great character development, more world building, and so many flips and twists and turns my head was spinning with the reveals. Our Bitten Wards grow so much throughout this book and they become a cohesive unit for the most part and really grow into themselves, and that was very good to see. We see struggle in some, struggle to figure out who they really are and what matters most to them. The action in this book was great, the plot never really dragged and the story was fluid. The only thing is I hope this is more than a trilogy. It feels like there is more to be fleshed out than what’s there. Great read and can’t wait for book 3
3.5/5* KS audiobook Sigras roost is a pretty solid sequel to Titans nest and takes more time developing the other bitten wards, as well as Darren and Ryker. Developing Darren and Tenebroses relationship was my personal highlight! Overall the plot was engaging and the exploration of complex morality was done pretty well for a book aimed at YA audiences.
However the pacing of this book felt a bit off compared to Titans nest which is in part due to the increased number of POVs, and also the world building. The first ~25% of the book is all Ryker’s POV and I think some of this could have been cut to balance out with Darren. There is a very long segment early on covering Roriks backstory which I think could have been shorter and still been emotional / made its point.
Flashbacks to earlier points in characters’ backstories and characters telling other characters stories as exposition was used a little bit too much and disrupted the pacing imo. It started to feel repetitive as a story device and I wanted to get back to the present moments events. I don’t think this was done so much in book 1 where the world building felt more natural and grounded.
I am looking forward to book 3 and overall this is an impressive series considering the author is relatively new!
