More than two times longer, and 100 times better than Bethanny's first book, "Ruination of Light" explores the world of Heretrua in its darkening hours.
Teen turned Queen, Evelyn, who is now happily married to Ren, is approached by a smart-talking redeemed assassin. This assassin, Jay, along with four other assassins now work for Evelyn. These assassins are helpful and hindering while Evelyn and Ren are ruling and cleaning up the aftermath of Heretrua's war with scaolust. Evelyn finds information on her family revealing a twist that boggles the mind.
Disaster strikes as a new enemy emerges, dividing Heretrua's allies, and endangering the royals. Is the Queen of Light really all that powerful, can she save Heretrua?
Learning from her first book, Bethanny has highly developed her storytelling, and writing skills. This is evidenced through her story. The characters are relateable, with their amusing dialogue and the queer problems they face. The storyline is fun, and this could be considered one of my favorite books this year. I give it an 8.4 out of 10.
