The Electric Heir by Victoria Lee
3.0

Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/Tg3ZQN1sspU

The Electric Heir is the sequel to the The Fever King, and we follow Noam who believes Dara dead is Lehrer new protegee. He is trying to find a way to stop the magical disease from spreading. Dara is however alive, and is coming back to kill Lehrer once and for all.

There was a lot of shocking turns in this book and it really starts with a bang. It has a lot of darker themes in this and if you intend to read it I recommend looking up content warnings on the author’s website. I liked this much better than the sequel, I was used to the world and I really enjoy the characters. However I found myself questioning characters choices and the plot. There are parts of the plot were I really questioned why it was even in there, because it didn’t really affect anything else happening in the book. And then we have the end… it was very quick and very unsatisfying! I was very disappointed haha. But! I still love the characters and the magic is awesome. Overall a fun, diverse and intense dystopia duology! 3.5/5 stars.
