A thrilling and momentous foray behind the veils of good and evil.
M.L. Spencer turns evil inside-out to explore the long-term consequences of demonizing another people. The setup is quick and definitive, delivering the stark conflict in visceral terms.
Spencer truly loves her characters, and it shows in how vivid their pain is. They suffer grandly in her loving charge. Darklands is a compelling read, an enthralling premise, and a heart-rending study of the complexity of the human soul.
Deeply fascinating!

Darklands by M.L. Spencer is Book Two of The Rhenwars Saga, an epic fantasy spanning a millennium, two realms, and all the ethics of the human condition.
This book is Spencer's third novel, published after the prequel that I reviewed in Part 1 of this guest series and Book One, which I reviewed here. When this novel was first published, it was billed as Book Three, but has since reverted to Book Two.

Darklands is a thrilling and momentous foray behind the veils of good and evil. M.L. Spencer turns evil inside-out to explore the long-term costs of the desperation and sacrifice in previous books, as well as the consequences of demonizing another people.
Deeply fascinating, Spencer's thoughtful and in-depth world-building animates an impossible realm. Clinging to life, a resilient population within a cursed land toils for each square inch of arable light in a black world. They live in darkness, and when their light goes out they will starve.
The setup is quick and definitive; it wastes no time delivering the stark conflict in visceral terms. Spencer truly loves her characters, and it shows in how vivid their pain is. They suffer grandly in her loving charge.
I enjoyed how some higher technologies like steam power offset the magical deficits of the cursed people, and Spencer's ironic wit shines in the God of Chaos, who struck a covenant to stabilize the world long ago.
Darklands is a compelling read, an enthralling premise, and a heart-rending study of the depth and complexity of the human soul.
