Disciples of Chaos by M.K. Lobb
3.5

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Disciples of Chaos is the action-packed sequel to Seven Faceless Saints. Damian and Roz may have stopped Ezra, but their problems are far from over. War is looming on the horizon and they both have a central role to play. As Damian and Roz navigate treacherous politics and shadowy magic, they must attempt to help their people and prevent the rise of Chaos. 

This book was a fast-paced and action-packed book. I enjoyed how Damian became more morally gray and had to battle chaos within himself. Roz and Damian have a searing romance filled with obstacles that they must work together to overcome. The ensemble cast was strong and I appreciated how willing Roz and Damian were to do anything for their friends. Lobb’s writing is filled with descriptive details that create a vivid atmosphere. Sometimes the pace felt a little too fast, but overall I enjoyed this sequel and found the ending satisfying. I’m looking forward to seeing what M.K. Lobb writes next! 

Thank you to M.K. Lobb, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
