Broad Plain Darkening by Clare Rhoden is a splendid tale of a disturbingly possible dystopian future. Book 2 - even better than Book 1 - takes us further into the characters, politics, environment, and technologies of the world. I enjoyed the deeper mindset of the cast, the ebb and flow of the interconnectedness of the various tribes, and a closer look at the subtle manipulations of the senior crew of the Pale itself. Jaxon!
The world-building is even more sublime than book 1. The plot flings you from one group to the next, each peppered with their own language, lives and rituals.
Survival in this post-apocalyptic world comes at a cost. The decay that began in Book 1 has grown as real cracks appear in the architecture, governance and biology.
I was quietly cursing as the pages to the end dwindled, hoping I could resist Book 3. Nope, I need to read The Ruined Land to see who survives - and at what cost.
More powerful writing from Rhoden. An excellent read.
