The Waltz of Wolves: Part 2 by Esme Carmichael

5.0

"What did you accomplish?"

Finally, we learn the terrible secret of Campbell's past. As the Dagger Rebellion makes the most of the time he has given them, Campbell is left to confront his own terrible guilt and shame. Esme Carmichael does an incredible job at delving into Campbell's emotional torment, such that you feel it on every single page. And that's before things get really bad ...

'The Waltz of Wolves: Part 2' will rip your heart to pieces and leave you feeling internally shredded. I had the pleasure of reading this novella as it was being drafted, and even though I knew what was coming, it was as powerful, shocking and brutal as if it had been the first time.

I also have to commend the author on the LGBTQIA+ representation in this novella. In such a short space of time, multiple relationships that are deeply believable and moving are set up and explored, along with difficult emotions that are handled with supreme care.

If you've enjoyed any of the books in The Connection Series so far, read 'The Waltz of Wolves: Part 2' as soon as you can. It won't let you down!
