3 Stars/5
King Myole is dead and his
light awaits his heir but there is a dark power in Ardentia that is desperate
to get their hands on it. In castle Dubraycon, Princess Mydra is upset about
her father’s death and is unsure if she is ready for the throne but people want
to use her for their own ends. Jahna has left the life she has always known to
search for the remaining pieces of the Empyrean Key. However, at the same time
she has to supervise her childhood friends Lilac and Silko as well as the charming
thief Arn. With time running out and old gods awakening will Jahna be able to
assemble the key on time.
Veil of the Corrupter is the enjoyable fantasy sequel to
The Empyrean Key. It is very fast paced, is full of adventure and is like a big
scavenger hunt.
I liked Jahna in this book as she is a brave and strong
character who is pushy and never gives up. However, I got annoyed at the other
main characters, with Silko, I just wanted him to man up and stop being so
fragile, and Lilac came across as a bully. There was nothing particularly wrong
with Arn and Sky, they just seemed a bit cliché.
However, I did enjoy the story and I am looking forward to
the next book. I would recommend Veil of the Corrupter to fans of the first
book The Empyrean Key.
