Plague of Death (Anchoress Series Book 2) by D.L. Armillei – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Plague of Death by D.L. Armillei
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Welcome to Book 2, a great sequel to Shock of Fate! We catch up with Van Cross a year later, as she sets out on her latest mission during the Alignment. Once again, bestie Paley is by her side, as is her protector Brux, and new addition Prenilla, her Providence Island nemesis. Van has hardened her heart and her body, ruthlessly shunning any sort of emotional attachment in her quest to become the best warrior she can be. She trains incessantly and avoids any introspection about the past – particularly the death of Solana and her feelings for Brux. Her mentors nudge her toward balance – light and dark exist in equal measure, and the inability to accept both forces blocks her power. It is one of the many lessons she is charged with learning in this Book 2, and she is a stubborn student!

I thought the plot was really intriguing in this book, there were lots of dire circumstances happening all at once, upping the danger factor and lessening the chances of success. Wiglaf is the bestest magical creature, and I enjoyed the plot points with them and Paley/Van. Van’s test with the Quasher had me biting my nails and turning pages as fast as I could.
