A battle that will change everything.

To Kirana's delight, her father has survived their terrifying encounter with the Shar and Malo'thul's Seed. Lord Kiel has a mission, and he's entrusted Kirana to ensure that it gets done. Find the exiles, Sage and Reysha, and bring them to justice.
But, as her father becomes more and more unhinged in his mad quest, doubt festers among the surviving Sulekiel. And an unlikely leader may just rise up to stop Lord Kiel before he gets them all killed.

THE RISE OF ORESETH is the sequel to Eric Malikyte's THE MAN WITH NO HANDS. That was an interesting book with a dual narrative about the titular man with no hands visiting "our" world while a young boy named Sage grows up in a magocracy hidden from the rest of the demon-ruled world. I didn't much care for the "our world" bit was fascinated by the Menzoberrazan feel of the place. However, I loved it enough to want to read the continued adventures of Sage.
Avoiding spoilers from the end of the previous book, we get a lot more development about the outer world and their peoples. We learn about their religion, magic, and day-to-day lives. We also get some really interesting examples of victim blaming. Poor Sage becomes a convenient scapegoat for all the troubles of his people no matter how ludicrous the situation. I really enjoyed watching him develop an awareness of how utterly pointless trying to get their respect is.
I really enjoy Sage as a character and think Kiel makes an excellent foil. I also like how the seeds laid for the villains bore fruit as we get a sense of what their goals are as well as why. The fight at the end is also incredibly epic, like a magical Dragonball Z.
