they were the ones who'd experienced first hand the price people were willing to pay for power . . . " I’ve been looking forward to part 2 of this duology since the second I finished the first one and it didn’t disappoint. Content warnings: violence, death (familial, sibling, friend), grief, emetophobia, body horror, torture Like, even after Briony’s squad finds out that it is possible to break the tournament, Gavin and Alistair decide to keep playing the cards as originally dealt. Obviously the right thing to do is to work to break the curse and save anyone, but it is impossible to fault the ones who don’t believe in the possible happy ending and can’t bring themselves to throw everything away in futile hope. In fact, Gavin and Alistair are my favorites (honestly, by a wide margin, although I do still like Isobel and Briony), and that’s a testament to how well these books are written: I love these characters even at their worst. The morality here is very, very gray. There are so many people that you’d say are absolutely beyond redemption that somehow manage it… by actively working for it and changing their ways. It was hard to wrap her head around the reality of what her own family had been willing to do for power. Harder still to think of herself as a casualty in that fight.”

The writing is truly beautiful, with deeply captivating and absolutely spell-binding descriptions. I was immersed in a lush portrayal of a harsh and pretty macabre world filled with spells and curses imbued crystals, ancient magical objects, dark alleys, spell shops, and aged stoned walls of magic-filled champions´ shelters. One thing is certain, this author duo knows how to build an atmosphere and pull you in. Briony doesn't want the title of hero, but she finds the title thrust at her anyway as the world outside of Ilvernath begin to hear of what she and the other champions are trying to accomplish, but she finds herself fighting battles from all sides, including her own family. What secrets are the Thorburns hiding? In “All of Our Demise,” the competition reaches its final stages, and the stakes are higher than ever. The remaining contestants must navigate a treacherous landscape of politics, magic, and betrayal, all while trying to avoid the deadly traps and obstacles that stand in their way. As the story unfolds, readers are drawn deeper into the complex world of Ilvernath, and the motivations of the characters become increasingly murky.

During the day: If you have a flexible schedule, you may find it helpful to take breaks during the day to read a book. Once again this story doesn’t pull any punches, delivering the hardest one of all at an unexpected moment and the ending was delivered beautifully, painfully and perfectly in tune with the series. Like all curses, the tournament had been built within a septogram—a seven-sided star typically drawn on a spellboard, with an ingredient placed at each point and a crystal filled with an enchantment at its center. Briony had come here ready to tell the truth about them. But the truth was messy and complicated, and she knew the press wouldn’t care about that. They wanted a splashy headline, a brutal story. Victim or victor. Hero or villain. Today, Briony Thorburn would show the world just how villainous her family really was.” R.F. Kuang, Sue Lynn Tan, Rebecca Ross, Kate Heartfield, N.E.

Briony, the older of the two, had been raised certain that she belonged at the center of her family’s stories. She was tall and muscular from a life spent in motion, her hands adorned with an arsenal of crystal spellrings whose power few others could wield. There was no challenge she wouldn’t confront to meet her goals. No price she wouldn’t pay for victory.

All of Our Demise: The epic conclusion to All of Us Villains

All of our Demise has so much going for it. Continuing from the first book, we have five compelling leads who endure all sorts of moral quandaries and character growth when some books barely manage to do the same with two, and a developing magic system which remains both simple and unique. Some might argue more could have been done with the world-building, as we never really get a sense of the wider world beyond Ilvernath even in this second book, but personally I liked the insularity of the setting - it reminded me of The Scorpio Races where the characters feel similarly trapped by their circumstances and the location reflects that. In the first book, “All of Us Villains,” readers were introduced to the six remaining contestants vying for the position of Archmage. However, as the competition heats up, the contestants begin to turn on each other, and deadly secrets are revealed.

A Note From the Publisher

All Of Us Villains was one of my favourite reads of 2021, so I've been impatiently waiting to get my hands on the conclusion of the duology. I was so excited to get it as an ARC and it really did deliver beyond expectations.

Even if nothing of it could be real, I still felt all the pain the characters felt, I even cried because it’s impossible not to with a book like this. One character I initially did not expect to like because of all the s**t and manipulation he had done but he won me over is one and only Reid MacTavish. I found myself really intrigued by him. As I began to understand him I surprisingly enjoyed his role in the story. This rascal simply grew on me. It felt a bit chaotic at the early stages as so much was going on but it the events in play were very high stakes so this was to be expected. However once I got into the swing of things again, I was hooked. For the first time in this ancient, bloodstained story, the tournament is breaking. The boundaries between the city of Ilvernath and the arena have fallen. Reporters swarm the historic battlegrounds. A dead boy now lives again. And a new champion has entered the fray, one who seeks to break the curse for good… no matter how many lives are sacrificed in the process. I love how truly morally grey and cunning all of them are. Nobody´s safe there as everyone in this bunch is capable of swift betrayal of one another, i.e. thinking about killing the allies and even (former) friends. Anyway, while I like them all, the fact that I love Alistar, Gavin, and Reid the most now speaks volumes. These three completely won me over. They are my precious disaster trio.Early morning: Some people find that reading in the morning helps them start their day with a positive and productive mindset.
