Shannon’s Thoughts:
This second book in the duology of the Feverwake series finds our main character, Noam, learning to deal with the loss of love and the secrets he must keep to win a war. Lehrer still has the power over Carolina, and with his powers, he has manipulated minds to remember and do what he wants them to. Noam is one of those manipulated but has broken free of Lehrer’s grasp. Noam can not let Lehrer know he has remembered what Lehrer has made him forget or that Noam is part of a rebellion. Even with all the darkness surrounding Lehrer, Noam still has lingering feelings for him since he has in some way replaced the role Dara use to have. Dara who Noam truly loved. Dara who Noam believes dead.
Things start out quite dark unlike what I remember from the first book, The Fever King. Noam’s excitement of learning magic is gone and is replaced with a heavy burden of how to bring down the chancellor. I missed the funloving roommates and the joy Noam felt when learning new magic. There was not much happiness for the characters in this book. There was so much manipulation, gaslighting, and abuse. Not a book to read when depressed.
Jumping back into the Feverwake world was pretty easy. It was plain to see that Noam and the other characters had grown and changed since the first book. Even with all the darkness in the character’s current world I still felt comfort and curiosity about what would happen next. I loved every character well... except for Lehrer.
I enjoyed this series and I am sad that at the moment there are no more books in this world coming. I am interested in what Victoria Lee will write next.
