The journey to the summit of Mount Raksha nearly killed Kamzin, but the real danger has only just begun to surface, and this time, Kamzin’s life isn’t the only one at stake.
River has betrayed Kamzin, and the witches have returned, determined to march on the Three Cities and take over the Empire. They’ll stop at nothing to kill the Emperor for what he did to them, even if it means destroying every village in their path — even if it means destroying Asmiri, Kamzin’s home.
But there is still hope in defeating them … if the rumors are to be believed. All Kamzin has to do is find a star that fell in the Ash Mountains to the north and use its magic to protect the Empire. She, Tem, and Lusha set out to do just that, but River wants the star too, and as their paths collide once again, Kamzin must face her conflicting feelings for the person who betrayed her.
Despite her lingering feelings for River and Lusha’s contempt over her every decision, Kamzin would do anything to protect those she cares about, even ally herself with the fire demon Azar-at, who can grant her great power in exchange for pieces of her soul. Because in the end, what is her soul worth if her country, her village, and her family are destroyed?
After the sharp betrayal and high emotions of the first book, Even the Darkest Stars, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on All the Wandering Light. The story picks up immediately where the first book ends, and while it is less about the trek to the star and more about confronting the witches, there is still plenty of danger, dark magic, and vivid world building, as well as an ending that satisfies.
Rated: Mild. There is no language. Except for a few kissing scenes, there is no real sexual content. There is some action, but nothing too graphic or gory.
