    Continuing where “From the Darkness We Rise” left off, things are at their bleakest when we begin and slowly our heroes make their way out. The worldbuilding remains excellent and the same with characterisation. 12/10 for this sequel.

    Summary

    Twenty two years have passed since the defeat of Pitch, and Jack lives alone, touch-starved, with only the company of a solitary Nightmare. One evening the Man in the Moon sets him on a path that will lead him to unexpected relationships, draw the attention of the Guardians to a new coalition of villains, and challenge Jack's every notion of what it is to be good, evil, and what it is to live in the shadows.

    One of the most amazing stories I’ve ever read. The world building is phenomenal and the characterisation is spot on. Relationships are built organically and tying in the natural world’s mythology with that of the Guardians and how that affects them both is fascinating. I read this series around once a year, taking my time, like with a dear friend. Give it a try, you won’t regret it. 12/10
