With the Leran threat laid to rest, Alec and Seregil are now able to turn their attention to the ancient evil which threatens their land. The Plenimarans, at war with Skalans, have decided to defeat their ancient enemy by raising up the Dead God, Seriamaius. The early attempts at this reincarnation—masterminded by the sinister Duke Mardus and his sorcerous minion Vargul Ashnazai—once left Seregil in a sorcerous coma. Now, an ancient prophecy points to his continuing role in the quest to stop Mardus in his dread purpose.Seregil's friend and Mentor, the wizard Nysander, has long been the guardian of a deadly secret. In a secret, silver-lined room hidden well beneath the Oreska, he has served for most of his 300 years as the keeper of a nondescript clay cup. But this cup, combined with a crystal crown and some wooden disks, forms the Helm of Seriamaius, and any mortal donning the reconstructed Helm will become the incarnation of the god on earth.
Nysander holds the cup and Mardus the wooden disks—one of which was responsible for Seregil's coma—but the crown must still be located. Threatened under pain of death by Nysander to keep his quest a secret even from his loyal companion, Alec, Seregil is dispatched to find the last missing piece of the Helm so that he and Nysander can destroy it. But this is only the beginning of one of his deadliest journeys ever, for the prophecy also holds that four will come together in a time of darkness, and gradually all that Seregil values is placed at risk as he, Alec, Nysander and Micum are drawn into a deadly web of terror and intrigue.

Deserves lots of GIFS! Better than the first, in my opinion. Maybe it's just because the story is more engaging for me this time round...and I've grown more attached to the characters, which, I know, is Though the writing isn't necessarily what I would usually read (I find it kind of heavy sometimes), it's well suited for this type of book. It's just colossal amounts of fun. The world Flewelling has spun is wondrous and enchanting; a pleasure to dive into. This series is seriouslyIve said it before and Ill say it again: [SCREAMS INTO HANDS]I LOVED THIS x2!!!!!! All of the problems that I had with the first book were fixed!! I'm so happy!! the plot was tighter, the characters/ world were more established, which meant that I spent less time wondering who people were or where in the world they were, and the pacing was so much faster. Also!! the pining in this book left me for dead... I am dead right now! bless!!!
I still don't like the narrator voice. Alec continues to sound weird, and sometimes he made the wrong voice to the wrong character which is confusing and annoying. (view spoiler)[ Nysander death was a hard one to listen to (hide spoiler)] But this series is one of my all times favourite, this brought back to me the joy of reading after a hard time, so I refuse to give it less than 5 stars. Bear with me.
I loved Luck in the Shadows, but for me this book was on a whole other level. Stalking Darkness took us to new places in this world and the relationships grew even more. Seregil and Alec's in particular was perfect, their banter, fights and reconciliations. Here, we see their relationship move to another level, where in the first book it was just hinted at.The plot was strong; striking a nice balance with the characters. The stakes are also higher making the story more intense.I'm really looking
Struggling to finish now that I've read past the magic rape scene. Nary a word is being said in the aftermath, except that our MC feels dirty. Okay, so what now? Is anybody else going to address it? Or is it okay because he did't say no, and he's male, and the woman was hot? Oh wait, he did say no, then yes, then "I don't know." That's when your partner should stop. Stoppity stop. And if you don't stop, someone should hit you in the face with a brick until you do. Friends don't let friends get
Its a long book, as I said. The start of it is so different from the middle, and the end, that I cant describe it in earnest without spoiling the living hell out of it. What I can say is that while slow paced it was intense, and had the edge-of-the-chair moments by the handful. Descriptions are down a notch, so its easier to read. But be aware, it is a mistake to think this is a light goodnight read. Its too hard to put it aside for it to be a good bed companion. Ill give it a full 5 out of 5
