Ghosts of Alda (The Obscured Throne Trilogy Book 2) by Russell Archey – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Ghosts of Alda by Russell Archey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ghosts of Alda is a fantasy book, the second in the Obscured Throne Trilogy. It’s worth reading the series in order, so start with Ashes of Aldyr then come to this book.

This is a post-apocalyptic story set in a fantasy world, where the connection between beings, magic and nature exacerbates the impact of ecological disaster. The book moves between different characters’ stories, showing how different individuals have been affected and are trying to move forwards after the Rupture. It’s dark at times, but there is plenty of optimism running through.

I particularly enjoyed the mysteries surrounding the Fifth Sect of magic. This had me intrigued early on and it was great fun piecing together more information as I encountered different characters’ perspectives!

This book gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of high fantasy looking for something big to get your teeth into.
