    About this ebook

    Brilliant, bold and thrilling, The Thousand Eyes by A. K. Larkwood is the epic fantasy sequel to The Unspoken Name.

    Could you sacrifice your dreams to escape a nightmare?

    Csorwe, Shuthmili and Tal survey abandoned Echentyr worlds to make a living. The empire’s ruins seem harmless but fascinating. Yet disaster strikes when they stumble upon ancient magic during a routine expedition. This revives a warrior who’d slept for an age, reigniting a conflict thousands of years old. And the soldier binds Csorwe to her cause.

    Shuthmili is desperate to protect the woman she loves. However, as events escalate, she’s torn. Can she help Csorwe by clinging to her own humanity or by embracing her eldritch powers?

    Tal heads home, but his peace is shattered when a magical catastrophe hits his city. The wizard Sethennai is missing and Tal can’t face seeking his former lover to ask for help. So, he flees – but there’s no escaping the future. For throughout the Echo Maze’s linked worlds, fragments of an undead goddess are waking. Soon all must choose a side.

      Fascinating followup to the first book, which chronicled the adventures and love story of Csorwe and Shuthmili as they escaped the wizard who abused them. But this book starts with Csorwe’s body being taken over by a god—and then jumps fifteen years to find Shuthmili serving the god, hoping against hope to rescue Csorwe. As with the first book, some bad deals are made, some betrayals occur, and both the protagonists and their antagonists are complicated and self-justifying. I enjoyed it.
    • 4/5
      I found Larkwood's writing, from both a structural and communicative standpoint, to be much improved from her last attempt. This is a genuinely solid book with a much smoother and natural feel and style than the first in the duology. The characters were even more engaging and their development mature and meaningful. I'm interested to see what Larkwood does next.
