An epic conclusion to a great duology. Raybearer took my by storm and I was so excited to read this follow up. While Raybearer was a story of found family and fighting against family expectations, Redemptor is a story of what happens AFTER you find your family and survivor's guilt. Tarasai may have survived the events of book one, but she's forced to relive the trauma of all the redemptors that came before her. The children who weren't so lucky and were sacrificed for the "good" of the kingdom. Throughout the story we watch Tarasai struggle with keeping her promise to the Underworld, balancing life in the kingdom with her siblings and forming new bonds of support.

I'll admit that this isn't an easy read. It goes by quickly, but the subject matter is definitely heavy at times. Between hallucinations, guilt, depression, and loneliness, Tarasai struggles, but her journey through is beautifully written and just leave you wanting more. Jordan Ifueko certainly never disappoints.
