The Suicide King Volume 2
After being broken in almost every way imaginable, it is now time for the phoenixes to emerge from the flames and take flight. The men who had become shadows of their former selves have resolved the issues that had plagued them, and now it is time to take back what they had lost.
And it couldn’t have happened soon enough, the mysterious and deadly proxies are only getting smarter… and are prepared to exploit every opportunity that is presented to them.
And not even Skyfall will be spared from threats both new and old. Secrets that had been buried deep in King Silas’s past have been exhumed, and soon everyone will find out that the man with the odd-coloured eyes isn’t who he appears to be, unbeknownst to the chimeras… and the man himself. The fractured family must put their differences aside and band together. But how can they fight an enemy they know nothing about? And with almost every power figure in Skyfall either missing or hiding to protect the ones they love. There is no denying it, now is the time for the Dekker family to unite and become the unstoppable unit they were engineered to be.
But even if they do learn how to work together… it might already be too late.

Book 3 is done and it's time to move onto my next project. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of you guys, here I am leaving the Fallocaust world and you're coming back! I won't be long though, in a few months I'll be starting Book 3's companion book! Elish's Garden of Spiders.
Enjoy The Suicide King Volume 2, it was a labour of love and I'm so proud of how it came out. I hope I did you guys proud and sorry in advance for the tears.

Ok, I am officially done with this series and I feel so much happier to be free of it. I still maintain that book one will always be one of my favourite books because it was so original and completely different to anything else I've ever read, but this series has just become something I really have no interest in continuing with.
I truly, truly do not understand these people who love the characters as they are right now and keep telling me that I need to keep going because they get better. If you can show me exactly where they become better, let me know, but I fail to believe it. Every character (except Caligula) has just merged into the same personality too, and if I'm reading a book with this many characters, I'm bored if they're all the same person in different packaging.
Reaver is now unrecognisable and quite frankly after what he just did to Killian, he's dead to me. He's become exactly who he said he would never be and he fits right in with the chimeras. Killian is a doormat, even when he knows that the situation is wrong, he just rolls over and lets Reaver do whatever, because Reaver must be happy, fuck everyone else. Mind blowing, and not in a good way. They say they love each other, but honestly it feels like they just got used to saying that and feeling that, and they aren't willing to admit that they've both changed so much that they're no longer compatible.
Reaver and Nero becoming friends... I just can't wrap my head around that. As a survivor of SA, there is no fucking way in this lifetime or the next that I would ever do what Reaver did. It doesn't compute. I understand this is set in a totally different society where my morals are not even remotely on anyone's radar, but the hypocrisy and brutal violence just feels completely unnecessary for a lot of this story. The fact that rape is used as a casual chimera family bonding experience because of their nature is just lazy writing to explain away characters bad behaviour. Reaver got by for almost twenty one years without resorting to it, Adler was a thirty year old virgin, so I don't buy that it's chimera nature. It's an excuse to use rape gratuitously and I'm done with it. If any of these character's showed even the slightest hint of remorse for their actions, it would be different and I could maybe keep going, but they don't so I won't.
The proxy worms are also fucking lazy tools for yet again explaining awful behaviour.
Don't even get me started on Elish. When it comes down to it, he's no better than Silas. He was jilted by his lover and now he wants to reshape the world the way he wants it...He's basically Silas without the sestic radiation powers. Jade is ok, but again, he puts up with being treated like shit and thinks it's love.
It's such a shame because I loved this series, right up until Sanguine raped Valen, and it's all been downhill since then. I also think editing would help the storyline flow better because there are hundreds and hundreds of pages that add nothing to the plot except more shitty behaviour.
In my mind, Caligula is going to kill them all and live a nice peaceful life! He's the only character that didn't piss me off or make me hate him. And considering the size of the cast, it's pretty impressive!
Thank you again to Alia for keeping me so sane throughout these books and for confirming I'm not the only person who sees this series this way!

During 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.

Rape, death, rape, death. Raped to death. Death by rape. Gnawing off limbs to escape. Coming back to life after death by rape.
This is basically what these books are about. Only book 1 had the semblance of a storyline. Everyone is crazy. Killian and Reaver are the least crazy. But that's prob bc they haven't lived that long. Killing each other during sex is pretty dark too.
Weird, Weird books...

And here I was thinking this was the last book of this series...........
After several days of reading these excessively long volumes I've come to the realization that the drama is wearing me out. Actually that isn't true, this part in particular was utterly disappointing and my mental subconscious was silently sneering at the nonsense.
I was already unhappy with Reaver in Part 1 but I didn't expect the dislike to intensify in Part 2. So he was raped. (Ok) So he decided to deal with the issues stemming from that by sleeping with his tormentor - don't....even.....try to figure out the logic there folks. So he overcame his psychosis and in so doing felt like himself again....(Ok). So this newly reborn, stronger, wiser Reaver becomes friends with the enemy and......and.....decides to participate in the raping of his sheltered brother Adler and expects Killian to understand and accept that he did all that because of his love for him.
In part 2 the couple is more broken than ever and Reaver insists that Killian should be grateful that he - Reaver- was able to overcome his obstacles. Killian should fall to the floor at his feet and beg forgiveness because Reaver is always right and any concerns Killi Cat might have is just an over dramatization of a jealous, insecure boyfriend. No, Killi has no right to feel betrayed and hurt because, that's being petty. Reaver is a top dog and what he says goes.........and you know what's most upsetting about all this fuckery? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS. Anytime Killian attempts to assert his opinions they're disregarded and he's treated like a villain for feeling any other way than accepting, which in my opinion is UTTER SHIT.
What little progress Killian's character made in part 1 totally crumbles in the face of Reaver's disdain and frankly I am tired with this shit. It took me thousands of fucking pages to be tired and I......I.......wanna just hit something. Nothing changes for these two. Reaver was a bigger asshole than ever throughout this book and Killian, was his ever tearful, whimpering, blubbering shadow. The relationship has no substance or strengths and I don't empathize with either character.
I've realized that in this series there are no good or bad sides. Everyone has their own agenda and will do anything to see it fulfilled. There was a point at which I thought Elish had finally learned from his mistakes, but...nope, I guess his taste of humility was a filler to extend the pages of an entertaining story. In this part we witness Elish's underhanded plans backfire when King Silas (the stupidest King in the history of mankind) is made aware of his deceit. You would think torture of not only him but his beloved maritus (or however it's spelt) would curb his cold, manipulative ways but alas that's asking too much. The sadistic acts targeted against him fuels Elish's desire for revenge and I'm thinking Quil Carter will find a way to extend these manipulations in multiple books with multiple volumes in the future because.......fuck if I know.
Another eye roll worthy moment for me was Reno's ability to catch feelings at the slightest provocation. Silas was a bitch to him for most of the series however the two bonded over their grief for Reaver, Sky and Killian. As a result Reno, who's already engaged to Garret Dekker, (a man I thought he'd already loved) convinces himself he's Silas' savior and his one true love.
Then there were parasitic mind controlling worms for the Dekker family to contend with, and Gage (a born immortal who can kill immortals), and unnecessary POV's and long.......fucking loooooonnggggg stretches of unnecessary chapters and I am tired. I am TIRED people.
Maybe one day I'll return to this series because truly it isn't horrible but right now.....I can't deal. Too much is going on and I can't keep up. Sorry.
The End.
P.S Is Silas evil or not? What is his purpose? With the return of Sky will this fool finally settle down and be happy?.......Hmm, guess we'll see soon enough.

Actual footage of me reading this book:
January 18, 2025
HAHAHAH nothing brings me more joy than watching the Dekker family realise they’re no longer at the top of the food chain! But joke’s on me, every single one of my favourite characters either carries the Dekker surname or is somehow tied to the family. Can’t win, can I?
My thoughts throughout the events of this book:
(You’ll see I flip-flopped a lot because honestly these characters are not likeable AT ALL. One minute, I’m ride-or-die for them and the next I want to see them suffer for all eternity.)
⚠️⚠️Spoiler Central: Proceed at Your Own Risk (Don't say I didn't warn you!) ⚠️⚠️
Killian and Reaver
Reaver at the beginning pissed me OFF. I love him to pieces, but how he treated Killian? It hurt, okay? No matter how mad I am, I hate seeing my Killi cry 😭
BUT, and hear me out, I don’t care how dysfunctional their relationship is - when they kiss and make up, I’m back on board like nothing ever happened. These two have me wrapped around their fingers for real. Honestly, I only care about Reaver and Killian. Everyone else can fuck right off.
Also, I love that Reaver started trusting Killian a bit more and giving him some responsibility (even if those responsibilities are laughably insignificant but we’ve got to start somewhere right?)
My Killibee turning into my Killer Bee!?!?! Ugh, I love that for him. He was so badass when he saved Reaver, Elish, and Jade at Skyfall. My baby is growing up, and I’m so so bloody proud of him!
Elish and Jade
Elish’s downfall? INSANE. The way his so-called “family” turned on him? Absolutely brutal. I felt sick to my stomach during their punishment - especially you, Garrett. I’m so disappointed in you.
I was rooting for Elish and Jade to burn the whole family down for good. Revenge all the way!
BUT. Elish even thinking of betraying Reaver and Killian? I was fuminggg. You don’t understand how mad that made me. So Selfish. Maybe the family is right maybe he really is the one sabotaging them, not Silas. Either way, don’t you dare drag my Reaver and Killian into this mess again.
Jade earned some serious brownie points with me. He showed loyalty to Reaver and Killian, and I respect him so much more for that. Good for you Jade!
The Dekker Family
• Silas: Pathetic. Couldn’t care less about him.
• Nero: Eternal hatred. Never forgiving him for what he did to Reaver. He’s proven once again he’s a backstabbing prick.
• Garrett: Disappointed, but neither hate nor love for him.
• Jack: Go rot with Juni where you belong. No one will miss you.
Actually, let me make it simple - ✨ the entire family can go to hell. ✨
And Sky? Don’t think I forgot about you, snitching on Reaver. Screw you. You and Silas can be miserable together forever.
Other Characters
• Luca and Big Shot: I love them so much. They're sweet and wholesome, and I hope they get a happy ending. The only two l really like after Reaver and Killian.
• Reno: Oh Reno. Pity, pity, pity. You're Silas's rebound. Please wake the fuck up.
• Gage: Surprisingly, I don't hate him. Go ahead and torture those chimeras until they're permanently dead-I'm rooting for you.
• Adler: Couldn't care less. He brought all of this upon himself. But honestly, l'd have liked him better as his original self rather than this mess with Sky. Still, the more pain the family suffers the better.

Okay. Seriously I hated the ending... only because I have to wait for the next book. So many things going on. The chimeras were being taken down. In this fight they're not the top dogs. The worms are just yucky and creepy. I didn't like Reno in this one. At times he got on my nerves. Really don't like Silas/Reno.
Reaver is crazier than ever and Killian is going down with him. So cute that Reaver misses Elish and Elish misses Reaver.
Glad to see Jade and Elish have some time together. They are my favorite couple. I find Elish hilarious. He loves Jade but isn't happy.. :D
“Don’t thank me. I’m not pleased with it. Loving you has been the single worst mistake of my life. It’s just as enraging as I remember, and I’m making just as many mistakes.”
“If you ever put me through what I had to experience when I lost you,” Elish began. “I will kill you myself. Do you understand me, Jade?”
“I have killed boyfriends for having the audacity to make me feel those same emotions, for putting me through such turmoil, and I spent over thirty years planning on killing a king who had done the same. And, Cicaro, I swear on my unhealthy devotion to you–” He leaned in, and our eyes locked. “– I will kill you if you dare put me through that again. Do you understand me?”
“You ruined my life and yet… I have never loved you more than I do right now.”
Jealous Jade is adorable. He can't help himself. Elish is his and no one else can have him.
"Someone else? The thought of Elish having a boyfriend, even if it was decades before I was born, suddenly filled me with jealousy. “I hope he’s dead,” I blurted, before I realized that was an extremely horrible thing to say.
I got to say, I knew everything Elish was doing would come back to bite him in the ass but... Just no! My poor Elish and Jade. I HATE Jack. He deserves to suffer more than anyone else. They are so going down. Although all this plotting and manipulating is what got Elish in trouble to begin with. Still they need to pay for touching Elish and Jade.
“They’re all fucked aren’t they?” I asked him. The smile widened… and I fucking saw teeth. Elish was grinning. “Yes, Reaver,” Elish said. The creepy grin on his face even giving me the chills. That was one man who should never smile like that. “Every man who touched me and my husband, will see their world burn to cinders.”
Woohoo. Get them Elish. I adore Elish and Reaver together. And Killer Bee is awesome. Please don't let Elish and Jade die at end.. or Reaver and Killian. Eveyone else can die but Elish/Jade and Reaver/Killian should be the last four standing. A new family started with just them. Luca/Big Shot too.
When's the next one? Can't wait.

God, what to say?
I'll just bullet my thoughts as they come. Ugh, so millennial, I know.. *rolls eyes*.
1. The first novel, Fallocaust, was my favorite. I truthfully don't know whether, for me, any of the novels will be able to top the first. The experience was just unique; I hadn't stumbled across anything like it. As such, I may be becoming numb to Fallocaust which has led to a slightly underwhelming experience.
2. Relationship dynamic's (the character's) have changed, which is natural yet, it seemed to come about inorganically. The underlying string to each of the characters which drew me to them and caused me to love them seems to have been misplaced.
3. I am going to continue reading the series and I look forward to the rest.
4. I respect Carter tremendously.
5. There is a lot of unnecessary violence; which ultimately serves no purpose. Or perhaps, I am missing something fundamental and that is the point that there isn't one.
6. It was glossed over but the way that immortals are killed makes sense to me. I was waiting for that to be revealed and I feel as though that is entirely plausible. YET, I can't help but wonder whether there would be any repercussions of such a method.
7. Was is just me or did Elish get really sappy?
8. I read a lot of reviews from previous novels in which readers suddenly were endeared towards characters such as Silas or Nero and honestly, no. I would be happy to see that whole family die out. Elish, Jade, Reaver and Killian can all stay.
9. Really wish there was more Reaver and Killian. Can't get enough.
10. This new (yet not) character, boy oh boy. I wish I could enter the book and kill him myself. He's just going to stir the pot.
And that's all, off to write a Thought Catalog article.
(I jest. I jest.)
I'll just bullet my thoughts as they come. Ugh, so millennial, I know.. *rolls eyes*.
1. The first novel, Fallocaust, was my favorite. I truthfully don't know whether, for me, any of the novels will be able to top the first. The experience was just unique; I hadn't stumbled across anything like it. As such, I may be becoming numb to Fallocaust which has led to a slightly underwhelming experience.
2. Relationship dynamic's (the character's) have changed, which is natural yet, it seemed to come about inorganically. The underlying string to each of the characters which drew me to them and caused me to love them seems to have been misplaced.

If I could, I would give this 3.5 stars. I love the world, the story, the mysteries. Sadly I just can't get over my growing dislike of all of the characters. I think what it boils down to is that I can't reconcile all the terrible (and terribly hypocritical) things ever character does. Any moral code a character has gets thrown out of the window one chapter later when they do the exact opposite. Someone will get raped to death and have it be the worst experience of their existence and then they will go and rape everyone they come across. I cant bring myself to care about any of the characters.

This was crazy!!!
I'm exhausted by being torn between loving characters and then loathing them later. You know who you are!!!
A half star less cause I was appalled and quite upset what happend in a particular scene..
And don't get me started about the proxy worms. I was so grossed out.
But I'm still devoted to this series. It's one fucking crazy train. The plot twists are amazing. Nothing you'll expect. This author....

June 8, 2025dnf @ 41% sadly, this series literally lost the plot! I loved the first 3 books in this series (Fallocaust, Breaking Jade, and The Ghost and the Darkness). The things this series was set up for kind of disintegrated, and what originally hooked me is no longer present.
The characters have changed for the worse, to an extent that many of them are unrecognizable. I'm just not enjoying this read anymore. I really tried to stick with it. I sought out some spoilers to confirm the series is going in an increasingly bizarre direction with no consideration for former OR existing character dynamics. So RIP, every character is officially immortalized as their best self in my mind and we can move on.

Fucking hell. I am still in awe at the awesomeness of this series and how with each installment more and more is revealed. I am still all on board with Elish and Jade. Seriously one of my favorite couples. And so much more to be revealed for sure and many who need to have their brains eaten on crackers. FFS.
4941 pages down and damn I’d start over this minute if I didn’t have 1000s of pages still to go.

Hello there. This is Rosa’s 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 don’t become one.
Spoilers below.
Thank you again for a wonderful experience, mr. Carter.

Wow what a fucking adventure. Learning more about Killian. Seeing reaver grow. Watching Elish and Jade. Meeting Adler. Everything about Gage. Just so many moving parts to this series and once again this author has a way of just grabbing my emotions. I laughed I cried I had so much anxiety and anger.

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 over 50 years 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 sub-plots 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.

let it be known that Silas has taken the crown from Reaver....he is now the biggest idiot of all time.
GOSH I HATE ELISH!!!!!! KILL HIM QUIL! kill him terribly! I wanted him dead from Breaking Jade but nope, he's still here! y??
p.s I'm shipping Reno and Silas like crazy. I would have loved to have more Reno POVs that was the only down fall of this book... that and the fact that the cockroach that is elish still breathes and now thanks to idiot Killian he knows how to kill immortals...smh
But such are the maddening ways of a Quil Carter tale.
Until next time Fallocaust.

Never challenge the universe by thinking "well it can't get any worse - it can only be up from here" because the universe takes it personally and then throws you this book.
5/5 - must read. But you will not be okay.

BE AWARE :Full of SPOILERS
I was afraid to finish it and I was right. I was stupid enough to hope for hearts and flowers at the ending. Sky being back and changed, to make Silas happy at last, jade immortal, Sanguine happy blah blah.
How stupid are you?
apparently I'm a huge idiot.
Everything is fucked up. Of course Elish is still the deluded, greedy, mean, stupid, upturned nosed freak who is never pleased with anything. He doesn't deserve Jade. He doesn't want to understand that he's at fault too here. it's all his fault. Nooooo, every one else have to suffer and die at his feet. *slow clap*
And here lookie we also have meanie Sky now. And mourning Jack that gives no fucks about Sanguine. Sanguine... pffftt no break for him of course.
Silas is still naive and blind and now in love too. bad combination buddy.
Something is wrong with Killian and I could care less about Reno's crap. I felt sorry for Garrett though.
So why have I rated this 5 stars? well it's brilliant that's why. Maybe I shouldn't continue with the series. let's face it. I read the series because of the romance. if it's going to be fucked up from now on maybe I shouldn't suffer.
Who am I kidding. of course I'll continue.
I really don't want everything to go to hell.
I don't want anyone to die. I hope the series don't get over dramatic. Elish and Sky are getting on my nerves enough already.
Edit : Did I really say I'm thinking to stop reading? hahahhahahah good one. This happens once in a lifetime, of course I'll continue with it!!

I'm so not satisfied with this turn of events! Argh! Everything is in shambles. I fucking hate this family, they are all retarded. The only reasonable one is Reno, and that's because he doesn't share the genetics of two sick fucks. And the fact that they are two again pisses me off to no end. I know Sky would be back eventually, we have been speaking about him for books now, but damn what a bad timing. I really ship Silas with Reno 😭 I think Silas was at his best with Reno, he was almost sane. Reno is a good influence to everyone surrounding him. They are all so preoccupied with their personal vendetta that they can't see the bigger picture. This family is a mess. I hate all of them, Elish included. I only like Reno. Reno is my raquem. All the others can fucking die, I only want Reno to be happy. He'll have Silas if it's Silas he wants, BECAUSE RENO DESERVES TO HAVE ANYTHING HE WANTS.
I hope the other shits die. I've been hoping since my lovely Perry offed himself. If he offed himself nobody else deserves to live.
Bye.

SO MANY CONFLICTING FEELINGS.
---SPOILERS AHEAD---
Most conflicting is Silas. I kinda love him and thinks he deserves it at the same time. But given all he's been through maybe it's enough? I wasn't sure how I felt about Reno/Silas in the beginning but now I feel that regardless of everything they went through, Silas is still waaaay out of the league for Reno. Even if Adler or Sky was out of the picture, I have a feeling that Silas will still reject Reno just like he did Elish in the past, because no one, no one holds the candle to Sky in his eyes and no one will ever be good enough, not even Reno. And let's be realistic here, Reno CANNOT handle Silas. They are not soulmates in the slightest. Rebound maybe. I'm really grateful to Reno for helping Silas heal to the point that he can finally ask for forgiveness from his family, and has made him able to put others above himself. But Reno was deep in the friend zone with this one, and whatever feelings Silas has for him is not enough to be a partner.
Okay, now another conflicting feeling is Adler. Man, I love Adler and I completely understand Mantis's protectiveness over him, and his underhanded way of doing it. Anything for his family. Just like how Leo was going to give over Perish so that they will leave his son alone. And if there was a choice, I agree that he shouldn't be given to Silas because that will destroy him, especially since he was sheltered and all. He would be so culture shocked since he already hates chimeras and their bloodthirst, and his beloved Asher is the leader of that will crush him. So, in a way sending him as Sky is more a mercy for him.
The options of whether to give Silas Adler as Adler or sky is also questionable. Adler is who Silas needs. Someone kind and pure and already head over heels over him. But if Silas could choose between Adler or Sky, it will always be Sky in a heartbeat. The one he is in love with is the one with the memories of them being together from the beginning. He even mentioned that none of his chimeras could even live up to who Sky was, evilness and all. Quite frankly, I really believe that Sky IS the only one worthy enough to be by his side as equals. And seeing Silas so happy in the end somehow makes it all worthwhile even though this was part of a revenge plot. Silas finally achieved his century old dream.
Regardless of what Elish did and his motivations that made a lot of readers hate him, he's completely right. Silas should have moved on years ago and bringing back Sky will not make him happy. His siblings WERE wrong and they were blinded by Elish's betrayal to see that. Don't get me wrong, I also hate his smugness and hated him for being a jerk to Sanguine even after everything he went through. But even if Elish never did anything to sabotage Sky's cloning, Silas was already going in a downward spiral in madness and destroying his children's lives on his own. And the only difference was that they were going to see Sky a lot earlier, and Sky is NOT a good person. Sky will be worse than Silas is with the games and the torture, minus the love for his children. Silas had every intention of turning Adler to Sky, that was the original plan. And Sky was definitely to stay.
That being said, Sky being here means all the more danger to the Dekker family. I feel that it's not Elish they should be scared of, and Elish is already a big threat to their wellbeing. Sky was there for five minutes and was already up to no good. He has loyalty to no one and his motivation is seeing others crumble. He has no empathy whatsoever and that was shown completely during his time with Killian. Like Silas said, he is evil itself and ten times worse than who Silas was at his worst.
Reaver and Killian will always be my number one fav couple in the series, disfunctional relationship and all. Reaver can be a complete jerk a times and Killian still a manic depressive, and the scenes after their breakup completely broke my heart. But Reaver was usually remorseful after a while, I mean, we have to give him a break because being nice is not easy for him. He's still learning and so is Killian, they're still working on the dynamics of their relationship but it is going in the right direction. As long as their feelings for each other remain strong, they will get through to the other side.
And Nero, god damn Nero! I love his protectiveness over his little brothers and their interactions are cute, especially that he is the one to convince Reaver to console Killian. HOWEVER I'm with Killian on this one. Nero is not to be forgiven fully and not to be trusted. He had no rights to be angry at them for killing Kiki after everything he had done to Reaver. And let's face it, if Killian was caught with Reaver at that point, he would've done the same to Killian as he did Reaver and kill the love of Reaver's life in a heartbeat with no remorse whatsoever. So I have no pity for you, Nero. And Kiki's just a cicaro! Not even his husband!
The scene with Elish wanting to betray Reaver and Killian hurts me too, especially after Killian personally just saved both of them not long before that. But he gets a pass because of what he just went through. And Luca, oh Luca! Tea on the plane, Cat ears Luca. I just love that he's Killian's brother, that's just perfect. I hope that they can also make Big Shot immortal too so that his brains will heal fully and we can see him entirely as a person. But having a half raver is still pretty cool. But having Luca as an immortal also meant that Luca might turn into Silas too so they have to look out for that. Please can Quil explain the cat ears already? Love Luca to bits though.
Sanguine, oh baby Sanguine. I really hope he's okay. He didn't deserve any of it and has been through more than enough. I really hated Elish at that moment but well, no matter what, Silas WAS going to find out eventually and will still overreact in the exact same way regardless if Elish was there or not. Sanguine was being Crow at the time and he outed himself for releasing Gage. The only difference was that Elish was able to witness it. When even Crow was scared, it really broke my heart. And the state Sanguine was when they found him was absolutely horrible. I feel that Jack should blame Silas for that though, not Elish. The scenes where Sanguine goes on as a murdering psychopath with the mask and a chainsaw was pretty damn amazing though! Scary and horrifying, but amazing!
Finally, Gage. I don't hate him in the slightest because he's an interesting character. That might change in the future though. But his presence is necessary since we don't have Silas as the main villain anymore. Giving him an accent is great! Since no one after the fallocaust is from anywhere else, Gage is the only living being with a genuine accent, that we know of. The small window where Elish met him personally was a testament of what to come. And the possible unknown born immortal empath in the plaugelands will make for an interesting plot in the future. My bets are that he is Sasha, Silas's old friend since Silas never mentioned him dying.
Since Silas has mentioned that there are a number of other born immortals still not accounted for, there is a possibility that they had absorbed some radiation themselves and made a settlement somewhere else. The world is large and that is entirely possible. They probably have got together sometime in the past since it was mentioned that they have a pull to other born immortals. They might even have made a community of inbreds somewhere, also a possible plotline in the future.
This series is not for the faint of heart, and was not an easy read. But man oh man do I love it! It's extremely complex and the length allows it to expand the characters and mix intricate plots interwoven with one another. None of it are being resolved easily and each problem only connects to the next. You have wavering thoughts with who to blame, and in the end, everybody is at fault for something or another. I'm only upset because now I have to wait. I have no doubt that the rest of the journey will be mind blowing.

And Nero, god damn Nero! I love his protectiveness over his little brothers and their interactions are cute, especially that he is the one to convince Reaver to console Killian. HOWEVER I'm with Killian on this one. Nero is not to be forgiven fully and not to be trusted. He had no rights to be angry at them for killing Kiki after everything he had done to Reaver. And let's face it, if Killian was caught with Reaver at that point, he would've done the same to Killian as he did Reaver and kill the love of Reaver's life in a heartbeat with no remorse whatsoever. So I have no pity for you, Nero. And Kiki's just a cicaro! Not even his husband!
The scene with Elish wanting to betray Reaver and Killian hurts me too, especially after Killian personally just saved both of them not long before that. But he gets a pass because of what he just went through. And Luca, oh Luca! Tea on the plane, Cat ears Luca. I just love that he's Killian's brother, that's just perfect. I hope that they can also make Big Shot immortal too so that his brains will heal fully and we can see him entirely as a person. But having a half raver is still pretty cool. But having Luca as an immortal also meant that Luca might turn into Silas too so they have to look out for that. Please can Quil explain the cat ears already? Love Luca to bits though.
Sanguine, oh baby Sanguine. I really hope he's okay. He didn't deserve any of it and has been through more than enough. I really hated Elish at that moment but well, no matter what, Silas WAS going to find out eventually and will still overreact in the exact same way regardless if Elish was there or not. Sanguine was being Crow at the time and he outed himself for releasing Gage. The only difference was that Elish was able to witness it. When even Crow was scared, it really broke my heart. And the state Sanguine was when they found him was absolutely horrible. I feel that Jack should blame Silas for that though, not Elish. The scenes where Sanguine goes on as a murdering psychopath with the mask and a chainsaw was pretty damn amazing though! Scary and horrifying, but amazing!
Finally, Gage. I don't hate him in the slightest because he's an interesting character. That might change in the future though. But his presence is necessary since we don't have Silas as the main villain anymore. Giving him an accent is great! Since no one after the fallocaust is from anywhere else, Gage is the only living being with a genuine accent, that we know of. The small window where Elish met him personally was a testament of what to come. And the possible unknown born immortal empath in the plaugelands will make for an interesting plot in the future. My bets are that he is Sasha, Silas's old friend since Silas never mentioned him dying.
Since Silas has mentioned that there are a number of other born immortals still not accounted for, there is a possibility that they had absorbed some radiation themselves and made a settlement somewhere else. The world is large and that is entirely possible. They probably have got together sometime in the past since it was mentioned that they have a pull to other born immortals. They might even have made a community of inbreds somewhere, also a possible plotline in the future.
This series is not for the faint of heart, and was not an easy read. But man oh man do I love it! It's extremely complex and the length allows it to expand the characters and mix intricate plots interwoven with one another. None of it are being resolved easily and each problem only connects to the next. You have wavering thoughts with who to blame, and in the end, everybody is at fault for something or another. I'm only upset because now I have to wait. I have no doubt that the rest of the journey will be mind blowing.

Reaver and Killian have both changed so much and I was feeling a bit nostalgic and missing how they were in book 1, surprisingly. I'd even take Killian's crying. I know they are both on a journey but there were some brutal scenes between them. Towards the end though, I felt like they were getting back on track.
As far and Elish and Jade, what happened to them just further cements my hatred of Silas. I'm glad it looks like he's finally going to get what's coming to him (fingers crossed). I held my breath there for a moment with the scene between Elish and Reaver and was very happy that Jade stood his ground and that Elish ultimately decided against it. These chimera switch on each other all the time!
I'm not sure how I feel about Reno and his storyline. I can't say I'm loving it to be honest.
This series is like a crazy chimera soap opera and I'm obsessed. Taking a much needed break right now though before moving on to Elish's story (which I'm sure will be a tearjerker) to read the series finale of Stunich's Havoc Boys series which is awesome!

The Ending
Sky
In this world, that's saying something
It didn't dawn on you for a moment that you were about to make a major f@#* up?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay....not that I have that out of my system.
How can you leave my boy Sanguine like that?
Woooh there. I think I've read to many of these books this month!
And I'm going to continue to read them until I run out of published books.

Quil Carter did it again! The Suicide King Volume 2 was epic! So much crazy stuff happened in the Plaguelands and Skyfall. New characters popped up, and old ones found their way back to each other. There was so much to take in. I was stoked to see Killian grow some balls in this book. He's finally becoming a man. 😆 Reaver is still Reaver, but he's learning from his mistakes and dealing with his emotions better. Quil has a way of making you like characters you used to hate. Elish and Jade have my heart. It was broken towards the end, but they prevailed. Silas, oh Silas... I hate that I like him at times. Reno stepped up in the last two books. Each character's journey is a wild ride.

Great Book
Not the best in the series, but still a fantastic book. This one was a good bit more political, its focus panned out quite a lot, especially the second half. Give me the intimacy and pharmaceuticals, and keep them coming. Can I just say I loathe worms? Just... ugh.
