After the defeat of Byron the Alliance is at risk. Harland and Fionn are representatives and must assemble their own fighters for the talks. While Fionn chose Sam, Gaby, and Sid Harland had Alex and two of Alex's friends. They must face against titanfighters to settle minor disputes during the talks, but more is on the line than they could possibly imagine. The Alliance may dissolve, plunging the different factions back into constant war. Worse still is the God of Chaos who Byron promised would return. Can Harland, Fionn, Gaby, Sid, Sam, and Alex face off yet another threat to their world and come out on top?
I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. I read book one back in January and enjoyed it, so when I was asked to read book two I agreed readily. You can read this book as a standalone, but you would be missing some details. There is enough here where you don't have to read book one, but it is great for things such as knowing who Byron is.
I enjoyed reading this book and am sure that the next book will be just as good. I say the next book because this book does end with a bit of a cliffhanger. All major points in the book are resolved, but there are still minor things such as the gods, Fionn, and the Alliance.
I can't remember if this holds true from last book, but my favorite character was Sam. I'm glad the question that was up in the air in book one was finally resolved in book 2. Eventually. It took most of the book, so if you didn't read book one you will know what question I mean in this book as well. I'm glad that we got to know a bit more about Alex in this book as he is a complicated kid. It's good that he has so many people around him that care about him, no matter how frustrating they might be.
There is a lot of action in this book and I feel the next book is going to focus more on Joshua. Normally, I have this thing against Joshuas, but I'll make an exception for this one. If he can rise above his past I can get over his terrible name to the character itself. Joshua is actually quite great and I can't wait to see how his story plays out. It will be fun to see what happens next.
I liked the idea of the Chivalry games. It's got the spectator sport of gladiators, democratic talks where groups are represented, and a way to get out factions frustrations without bloodshed. Well...minimal bloodshed. Okay, so no one is supposed to die.
We got a few new characters in this book, other than just Joshua. All of which seem to be sticking around for the series to come which is exciting. Then there is the band. I hope for good things for them and that the drummer gets to meet Sid. Not sure why the fan there, but hopefully that little minor tidbit is answered in books to come.
My biggest meh about this book is the titans. They're in the title so we're expecting them throughout the book. When you think of titans you think of these great and powerful beings. Now, I will give it to you that the titans in this book are both 'great, in the large sense, and powerful. Other than that they are kind of a let down. Each titan has one battle that sometimes isn't even a full chapter long. They seemed almost too easy and fell short of the build up. Especially after the battle with Byron in book one. I just expected more, I guess.
