The Soul of the World by Joshua Silverman #bookreview

by Joshua Silverman

The ancient powers lost to Potara have returned. The Brotherhood of the Black Rose rises to bring Thoth into disorder. And, while the Brotherhood reclaims their power, chaos reigns among the survivors. Six individuals have emerged from the aftermath struggling for control over their lives and a divided land. Kem and Shirin, who abolished the five thousand year reign of the Amun Priests, rule from the golden throne of the Oracle’s Chair in the Hall of the Nine. Dio and Axios struggle to piece together a resistance worthy to challenge the ancient magic which resides in the Great Temple of Amun, and Leoros and Atlantia try to remain true to their hearts and their cause despite tragedy.

But when the Book of Breathings is discovered, the path to immortality is revealed. Leoros and Kem race to capture the Soul of the World unaware of the challenges awaiting them. This time, the gods themselves will intervene.

In a tale where boys become men and girls become women, where treachery and deception are around every corner, and where primeval mysticism finds its way back from the grave, victory is reserved for neither the good nor the evil, but the powerful.

My review:
I highly recommend reading the first book in the series, read my review here. I actually enjoyed this book way more than the first. It has a whole different feel and the writing and flow of the story was fantastic. Since I am obsessed with mythology and sci-if these books are right up my alley. Leoros is back on Earth and the battle of good and evil still ensues. Choices he made in the first book still haunt him. A few new characters are introduced and the multi-POV is still there, which I love. If you are looking for a book with tons of action, Soul has it. In a vivid way, the author weaves a story that is really hard to put down.
