Ravage the Dark is the second and final book in the Scavenge the Stars duology. The book takes off immediately following the end of Scavenge the Stars. We continue to follow Amaya as she quests to figure out who she is and who she wants to become. We also follow Cayo who is dealing with the events in the first book as well as his own gambling addiction. 

 

The book is an adequate conclusion, and if you enjoyed the the first book it is worth continuing the series. I spent the first part of the book confused over the geography. I thought they were in one land that took an ocean voyage to get to, but then they seem to be back in their original homeland, and not just the main characters but also the side characters that were in the other homeland. I obviously was missing something, or there was a gaping plot hole. Unfortunately, this is what I have taken away from the book more than anything. 

 

However, the book also had strengths. The characters were well developed and the storyline was interesting. How many YA adaptions of the Count of Monte Cristo are there?
