Beschreibung

In the sequel to The Fever King, Noam Álvaro seeks to end tyranny before he becomes a tyrant himself.
Six months after Noam Álvaro helped overthrow the despotic government of Carolinia, the Atlantians have gained citizenship, and Lehrer is chancellor. But despite Lehrer’s image as a progressive humanitarian leader, Noam has finally remembered the truth that Lehrer forced him to forget―that Lehrer is responsible for the deadly magic infection that ravaged Carolinia.
Now that Noam remembers the full extent of Lehrer’s crimes, he’s determined to use his influence with Lehrer to bring him down for good. If Lehrer realizes Noam has evaded his control―and that Noam is plotting against him―Noam’s dead. So he must keep playing the role of Lehrer’s protégé until he can steal enough vaccine to stop the virus.
Meanwhile Dara Shirazi returns to Carolinia, his magic stripped by the same vaccine that saved his life. But Dara’s attempts to ally himself with Noam prove that their methods for defeating Lehrer are violently misaligned. Dara fears Noam has only gotten himself more deeply entangled in Lehrer’s web. Sooner or later, playing double agent might cost Noam his life.

*more screaming*

Okay so the review actually went online on Goodreads a bit after me finishing it…I had to like, get down from the high I was riding hahaha But still??? This book had so much more suspense than the first one and it made me fricking sad at times??? Like it’s not okay to just tore out my heart, shove it back into my chest…just to rip it out again and do some little tap dance on it!! I liked the ending, though I would have loved to see MORE…just… GIMME MORE! I need Noam and Dara and Lehrer to gimme more of what they got, show me all of the lil secrets and shit…ugh 😭 can’t wait to re-read that next year!

I received this ARC over NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is maybe the first time I started reading an ARC the second I got my hands on it, but I loved The Fever King so much, I just couldn't wait one second to see how this series ends. I might put up a more detailed review of this book when it's actually out, cause I will definitely buy it and read it again. I recommend to anyone wanting to read these books, to check out the trigger warnings the author posted, because there's definitely triggering material including abuse (in many different ways) and with this book also gaslighting and grooming. I don't find these topics triggering myself, but I see how other readers could have problems with the content. Overall, this book is quite different from the first one and I like that. I know really wanna read both books together and see how they work as a whole story and how everything happening in The Electric Heir was build up in The Fever King, because I'm pretty sure I forgot much of the groundwork done in book one. The Electric Heir is definitely a worthy end to the series, filled with ups and downs, some amazing characters and scary twists all over.

I was positively ecstatic when I received an eARC of this book! I read The Fever King last summer and I feel like I didn't appreciate it enough at the time. After visiting Noam's and Dara's world for a second time, I can safely say that this series is one of my new favorites! The story starts six months after the ending of the first book and it immediately broke my heart. The characters are both in distinctly difficult situations - and it is just so sad to read how they are struggling to cope with everything that has happened in the first book. I was quickly immersed in the story and felt overwhelmingly much sympathy for the characters! While Dara's chapters made me grieve for his terrible past and hold my breath whenever he was trying to mend his relationships with everyone, Noam's point of view was equally thrilling to read. Noam's new position is even more dangerous than it seems and I felt like the edge he is balancing on could tip at any given moment, resulting in a tragedy. Reading about the antagonist gave me unprecedented fits of rage. I can't recall any character that I hated as much as I hate him. The complication of that is, however, that I could always somehow understand how he came to be that way, Especially since it was highlighted how the protagonists are similar to him. Thinking about such a complex villain really kept me up every night (even after I stopped reading). It was nearly impossible to put the book down in the first place and when I did, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I also needed a few days after reading to finally feel like myself again. Clearly, The Electric Heir gave me a lot of emotions. Not all of them were negative, though - I love how Dara and Noam find back to each other, how they engage with their friends, their banter. I enjoyed all of it so much, even the sad parts, and I really hope that this story will get the recognition it deserves!
