Summary
Darkness approaches Dominicus Prime, a literal Season of Night that brings with it portents, madness and strange happenings. Standing alone as a beacon against the darkness is the Monastery of the Last Candle, a temple to the holy light of the Emperor. As the bishops and the cardinals vie for power and influence, a crisis looms among the Pilgrim Drift who are starving in their droves. Discord is rife, and there are whispers of a rising cult, one committed to blood and horror.
Into this political powder keg comes Inquisitor Covenant and his followers. Drawn to the shrineworld by the prescience of the Emperor's Tarot, they come seeking the agents of the Triumverate, a sect of Horusians bent on power themselves. It is the belief of Covenant that these radicals seek an incarnation, nothing less than a divine vessel, a living saint. To what end, he can only surmise, but Covenant knows it cannot bode well. He must deny the Horusians at any cost. The fate of the very sector may be determined by it.

Not great..
Really struggled to follow some parts of this story and was lost a few times with characters. Strange jumps in the narrative that weren't really made clear. I don't actually know what the overall ending was.. I'm sure I'm missing some bits..
Some good parts with demonic descriptions etc but pretty weak overall.

I thought the second book would be more memorable. it wasn't. I can't remember what happened, who was in it. anything. I'm sure it was a good book... probably. a label on a tin of beans retained my attention for longer sorry to say. this was the problem I had with the first book. so I listened to it twice in one week. still didn't retain anything from that book either.

Please no quiet quiet SHOUT
I listen to these books to drift off to sleep. It's annoying to have to micromanage the volume system on this kindle. Is it the fault of the audible software?! Or the sound recording \ narrator but quiet quiet SHOUT GETS ANNOYING A BIT LIKE ALLCAPS. Or I guess CRaZy VaRiatiONS OF VOLumE It GetS A bIt AnnOYInG.
story has a few flickers of something interesting but I'm bit put off by all the gore and casual killing of interesting characters.
There is no God but chaos God's also gets a bit annoying. Within chaos there would be some champions of law. As well as chaos champions from other rival factions becoming accidental heroes.
The performance was good apart from volume variations.
Ending was disappointing wanted the underdog girl to have an empowered enlightenment moment of revenge tinged with mercy at the end.

Poor reader
I find the characters relatable again this time around but i passed through it quickly with nothing memorable. The jumps between scenes is too short and frequent and so it becomes very difficult to follow what actually happens in the book. I will have to go through it again on a day i am not doing anything. I hope the next book fairs better in this regard

Good Sequel to the first book. John Banks is always good at narrating and doesn't disappoint.
John French does a great job of building an ever complex story.
only negative is the lack of character development and depth for new characters. They seem almost disposable.
