Communion

Broken Sky #4-6

by Chris Wooding

Ryushi and Kia now stand at the forefront of the rebellion against the tyrant King Macaan. But it is his daughter, the Princess Aurin, that rules in the dark, sunless world of Kirin Taq, leader of a seemingly invincible army. As the rebels regroup, Aurin is hunting for them, and it’s only a matter of time before she tracks them down and wipes them out.

Only the twins can stop her, if they can work together. But circumstances and matters of the heart are driving a rift between them, and they are no longer as close as they were. Can they overcome their differences long enough for the rebels to gather their strength and fight back?

In this second part of the trilogy, old enemies return and new allies appear, and an ancient, long-forgotten race emerges out of the past, who might prove to be friend or foe.
War is coming to Kirin Taq. Only one side will be left standing.

About the author

Chris Wooding grew up in a small town in Leicestershire, where not much of anything happened. So he started to write novels. He was sixteen when he completed his first. He had an agent by eighteen. By nineteen he had signed his first book deal. When he left university he began to write full-time, and he has been doing it professionally all his adult life.

Now thirty-nine, Chris has written over twenty books, which have been translated into twenty languages, won various awards and been published around the world. He writes for film and television, and has several projects in development.

Chris has travelled extensively round the world, having backpacked all over Europe and North America, Scandinavia, South East Asia, Japan and South Africa. He also lived in Madrid for a time. When he wasn’t travelling on his own, he spent his twenties touring with bands and seeing the UK and Europe from the back of a van.

He also learned not so long ago that his family tree can be traced back to John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, which has no bearing on him whatsoever but it’s kind of interesting anyway.

Chris lives in London.

Reviews

[Briar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good twists. The first book (or three) seemed too easy. This one ups the stakes and adds some interesting turn of events. I think the series would be better if they added more detail and spaced events out. However, good world building and development.
