Tarnished City is the second instalment in Vic James’ Dark Gifts trilogy and it is truly a book about change.
...
‘From the bestselling author of Sanctuary comes a thrilling Orwellian vision of Britain, with a rebellious Hunger Games heart. Tarnished City is the second title in Vic James's electrifying Dark Gifts Trilogy, following Gilded Cage.
A corrupted city
A dark dream of power
Luke is a prisoner, condemned for a murder he didn’t commit. Abi is a fugitive, desperate to free him before magic breaks his mind. But as the Jardines tighten their grip on a turbulent Britain, brother and sister face a fight greater than their own.’
...
Whether it be the landscape of the country or doing something you never thought you would do. The tensions have been turned up in the is book and we see what lines these characters will cross when they pushed to the limit.
This book, as with the first, has such an intriguing societal and political structure that stands up in its own right. Strip the story of powers or, as they say in this book, skill you have an incredibly rich context to the country that you feel the weight of in every political decision made. We delve deeper into the issues that plague the country, deeper into the history and the implications it has.
It is a perfectly blended political/ class drama and fantasy with such complex characters who you root for, and relate to despite their protagonist or antagonist status.
A fascinating tale of class difference and explorations of what it means to be human. It is a series not to be missed!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Vic James for another amazing adventure.
