Court of Wanderers by Rin ChupecoMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I was provided and ARC of this book via Netgalley, however I opted to listen to the final publication version of the audiobook. As always all opinions are my own.
This picks up where book one leaves off, Remy and his vampire companions Malekh and Xioadan are pitted against the Night Empress and are working to broker peace between the vampires and the human realms. Strange abominations are still plaguing the realm, and the trio must ally with the other vampire courts to defeat the Night Empress and her growing contingent. Remy's romantic relationship continues to deepen with the vampire pair as learns more about the vampire court and their customs. He also learns more about his mother and how his parents met.
There was alot going on in this book. I loved Silver Under Nightfall, but this fell a bit short. As with book 1 it was far too long, but unlike book 1 it lacked the engaging pacing and action to keep the reader interested. This keeps up with the court politics, but it was lacking the character development I was expecting from Remy and his partners. It mainly focused on the physical aspects of their relationship, which is fine, but I wanted to see more of their emotional connection develop on the page. I was expecting a bit more of a complex plot with the various court leaders, the Night Empress, and the human contingent. Things kind of resolve conveniently without the action we saw in the first book. There are too many characters to keep track of, and I feel that took away from the tension and suspense we felt in book 1.
