Good & Evil: The Black Sun Series, Book 2 by Éric Giacometti
5.0
Having really enjoyed the first book in this series I was super excited to start this book to see what happened to the characters and how the plot continued to unfold.
The characters, just like in the last book, were incredibly written and I thought that it was really interesting to see more of the high ranking Nazis in this book. Especially because we got the odd perspective shift to Hitler as he was starting his journey to the power he has reached during the main events of the novel. My favourite characters continued to be developed after the events of the first book and to see them become deeper people was honestly such a delight and I cannot wait to see where they go in the next book. We were also introduced to some new characters, including Ian Fleming (the author of the James Bond novels) which I thought was a really nice addition, as well as Crowley who was a very interesting character and I am intrigued to see where his character goes in the next book.
The plot was well-paced and I liked how it travelled around just like the first one, as well as being fitted in among the actual historical events that the book is set around. It was full of twists and turns yet that kept me on the edge of my seat and made me just want to keep reading in order to find out what was going to happen and to find out whether the SOE mission was going to succeed in getting their hands on the new swastika that they were hunting It was just so interesting, partly again because we were able to see a young Hitler and get a bit more of an insight into the magic lore aspect of this book. And of course, we still had the treasure hunting aspect of the book that took us from Crete to Berlin to Venice and I just loved how that was still integral to the story.
The writing, again just like the first book, was wonderful and yet again it just kept me so engaged the whole way through. I was so tempted to just keep going and read it all in one sitting. And of course, the characters and the historical aspects of the novel were still handled incredibly well and I genuinely think that these authors are so talented and I can't wait to see what happens in the next instalment of this series.
I was kindly given a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
