Crown of Thunder by Tochi Onyebuchi (2 stars)


The follow on book from Beasts Made of Night. Unfortunately this one is worse, having built the world it falls apart completely into a tedium of endless fight scenes between characters whose motivations make no sense and I couldn't care less about.

Spoiler:

Taj's best friend changes his loyalty for literally no reason at all. Then changes it back, hey I was on your side all along! Why would Taj trust him the second time? There's not even any discussion about why he betrays Taj in the first place.

So many other problems with this book, my highlights are all like "What? How did she escape?" and "Laaame" but it's been too long and I can't be bothered to go dig them all up.

2 stars.
