The apocalypse is coming (again), and a girl and a god have joined forces to ensure that it won’t come to pass, even if they have to destroy everything else in the world to stop it. Ever after nearly dying, Tara Abernathy has been tracking Dawn since the events of Dead Country and believes that Dawn’s crusade and powers are her fault. Both Dawn and Tara will need allies—craftspeople, lawyers, old friends, and dead gods—as they discover that not everyone is watching the stars and worrying about the end; some are ready to help the apocalypse along. The characters, high-stakes action, and witty dialogue tie together the books across Gladstone’s entire “Craft” universe. While the planned “The Craft Wars” trilogy can be read apart from the books in the previous “Craft Sequence” series, fans may want to begin a reread to gain insight into some of the deeper relationships hinted at in this volume.
VERDICT Gladstone’s second “The Craft Wars” book increases the action and devastation, bringing together familiar characters from across the world of the Craft as the battle for survival continues.
