Queen Revari struggles to remember her past life while King Jonah is desperate to uncover the origin of his mysterious condition. When Jacques ups the ante, carefully crafted secrets begin to unravel. An unexpected tragedy strikes JanIus, catapulting the Keepers of the Realms into an epic battle to maintain order within the galaxy.
In Maieman: Revelations Book II, we follow King Jonah and Queen Revari as they begin settling into a cozy new normal, but not everyone is happy about their relationship. As Revari is trying to remember things from the past and Jonah is battling inner demons of his own, there’s lots of other drama going down around them. Things done in the dark of the past will soon come to light in the present, shaking the characters of JanIus to their cores. The second book in JanIus has murder, betrayal, political intrigue and more twists and turns than I could’ve ever anticipated.
Even though Queen Revari holds a dear place in my heart of D.L. Hannah characters, I will say that I unexpectedly grew to really enjoy King Jonah and King Justin in this book. They felt like wildcards from the beginning and they really kept me on my toes throughout the duration of the story constantly wondering what they just might do next. The dynamic between them felt like a battle of Alphas and it was just one surprise after another. The finishing touch of the story was the ending which in my opinion, was well worth the wait, and just as shocking as the events leading up to it. Another fantastic sci-fi fantasy in the books literally for author D.L. Hannah who continues to lead the charge in a league of her own.
D.L. Hannah's tenth book overall in her great royal interplanetary saga reaches a natural stopping point with a grand finale - for now, although whenever the story is ready to continue, I'll be ready to order those new books too. With so many interwoven story threads, Hannah ties them together as excellently and dramatically as she's always done, and in particular, she confirms that my theory about what exactly was happening to King Jonah was correct. I'd say the best highlights are the lovely artwork of Queen Revari that King Jonah is painting in one key scene, and the eagle in the final paragraph, which - should this book ever get a film or TV adaptation someday - would make an evocative final shot.
