As always, it is a pleasure to be apart of TBR and Beyond’s book tours. I am excited to present to you the second book in the Seven Faceless Saints Duology, Disciples of Chaos. Check out the other amazing blogger on the tour here.
Summary:
In this thrilling sequel to Seven Faceless Saints, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Kerri Maniscalco, Roz and Damian must face their destiny as the world crumbles around them.
Damian Venturi isn’t aware of it yet. But as small shifts start to crack the foundations of the Ombrazian power structure after the Rebellion’s attack, cracks are beginning to show in Damian’s own facade. Uncontrollable anger is bubbling to the surface and can’t always be pushed down. Can he keep everyone safe, even from himself? Rossana Lacertosa should feel victorious. She accomplished everything she set out to do, and more. The Rebellion’s attack set countless prisoners free and brought attention to the unfairness in the Palazzo’s structure. And Damian is back by her side where he belongs. Yet the war with Brechaat rages on and government officials are hellbent on keeping the status quo.
Then an Ombrazian general arrives from the front lines, and orders dozens of arrests, shipping Roz and Damian’s friends up north. Determined to free those who matter most, Roz and Damian set their sights on Brechaat. But their journey is dogged by strange magic, and Damian shifts further from the boy he used to be. The complications of love, magic, faith, and war will keep readers eagerly turning the pages as they head towards the gripping conclusion in the Seven Faceless Saints duology.

My Thoughts:
Firstly, if you haven’t read book one, Seven Faceless Saints, start there. Disciples of Chaos is a satisfying conclusion to this amazing duology.
M.K. Lobb plunges us back into the world of Roz and Damian. The journey that began in Seven Faceless Saints now takes flight, sweeping readers into prophecies, magical powers, and political tensions. And as you can imagine, it not an easy adventure.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the development of Roz and Damian—the drama, the heartache, the angst—I found myself craving even more of the world’s lore. Knowing that Lobb would delve deeper into this aspect, as hinted in Seven Faceless Saints, was a treat. Learning more about Patience and Chaos was everything I wanted and more. It all comes together so nicely, you have to read it to find out. However, some readers may itch for more action during these interesting developments.
Lobb does a killer job answering the lingering questions from book one while expanding the lore and worldbuilding. I am consistently amazed by the worlds authors create, and Lobb is no exception. The rich universe constructed with its unique mythology and lore is captivating. Lobb crafts a complex magic system that may initially confuse readers, but fear not—everything eventually falls into place. Similar to Seven Faceless Saints, the final chapters of Disciples of Chaos had me wishing I could read faster.
For those seeking their next fantasy romance page-turner in the YA genre, Seven Faceless Saints Duology is an excellent choice.
