Gathering the Fallen
After barely surviving the Black Tide and the demonic assault that followed, the group of newly possessed friends struggle to make peace with the willful spirits that inhabit them. While the spirits grant wisdom and power, it often comes at a terrible price.
Driven by her spirit's crippling guilt and sorrow, Eliana leads her friends on a dangerous journey across the jungle in a desperate search for answers. What happened in the Darkwood? What role did her spirit play in what transpired?
While the friends quest for understanding, the people of the Citadel struggle to rebuild and replant their ravaged farmlands. But hidden amongst them, an ancient demon carefully gathers power as she prepares to launch an assault against the magical painting that protects and preserves the Citadel.

This was a lingering eARC that I received awhile ago. Unfortunately I didn't realize it was book two of a series so I wanted to pick up and read the first book prior to this one. I knocked out book one and really enjoyed it last month so the time finally came to dig into Gathering the Fallen.
The books in this series are relatively short and very easy to read. That doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the story at all in my opinion though. The character development through books one and two have been done very well so far. The story has been exciting. Even though we've lost some great supporting characters already and there might be a few characters throughout that are rather annoying it really just adds to the overall story.
The ending of this book did seem just a little abrupt and left a couple of things as a mystery for me. But the very end and epilogue were both great. We lost a beloved supporting character and find out just a bit more of what might be to come in the next installment. Things are not about to get any easier for our protagonists from what I see!

My experience reading this book was remarkably similar to my experience reading the first. I was wary in the beginning. High fantasy isn’t my typical bag, mainly because there are lots of rules, lots of lore, and lots of characters. With the first book, the action drew me in, and the same happened here!
Smartly, “Gathering the Fallen” gets the ball rolling with a relatable and thrilling hook: hunting the dangerous creature in the forest. We learn about each character’s backstory and abilities as the plot moves, and I quickly fell into a groove. When the plot developed into a more complex web, I was locked in. That’s a sign of smart outlining and good prose. Well done to the author!
