My Source for This Book: Netgalley
Part of a Series: Yes, Book 3, Graveyard Queen
Series Best Read In Order: Yes
Steam Level: Steamy
While I do feel that the Graveyard Queen series is best read in order, I’m not sure how much of that stems from my immense enjoyment of the series and how much of it is really the feeling that new readers wouldn’t quite “get” it. While old fans of the series will relish the plotline deeply involving not only John but also both his ghosts and his history, I do think newcomers will be able to easily follow along, though of course they won’t get the benefit of having witnessed the developments in both John and Amelia’s lives.
As a very solid member of Team Devlin, this book absolutely thrilled me. Not only was there the same arcane mystery, complete with plenty of twits and red herrings, as I’ve come to love from this series, but Devlin played an enormous part in the story — possibly even moreso than in The Restorer if that’s possible.
The final chapters of this book left me breathless, and I’m anxiously awaiting future installments in the Graveyard Queen Series.
A very solid 5/5 Stars.

I'm Team Devlin but I admit, I really enjoyed The Kingdom. But never fear, Devlin plays a HUGE part in The Prophet :)
I just finished The Kingdom. It was good, but am so happy that The Prophet goes back to Devlin. I love that story line. Do we still get to see Thane too??
