Kaidu and Rat have only just recovered from the assassination attempt on the General of All Blades when more chaos breaks loose in the Nameless City: deep conflicts within the Dao nation are making it impossible to find a political solution for the disputed territory of the City itself.
To complicate things further, Kaidu is fairly certain he's stumbled on a formula for the lost weapon of the mysterious founders of the City. . . . But sharing it with the Dao military would be a complete betrayal of his friendship with Rat. Can Kai find the right solution before the Dao find themselves at war?
My Thoughts:
Last year I read and enjoyed The Nameless City by Faith Erin Hicks. I couldn’t wait to dive back into Kaidu and Rat’s world in The Stone Heart.
My favorite thing about the first book was the friendship between Kaidu and Rat and how much they learn from one another. I liked seeing that continued in this book. We get to know them a bit better as they open up to one another more. They face some really tough decisions and really have to rely on each other and their own strength. They’re both such great characters!
We also learn more about some of the other characters and the history of the city. This brings up a lot of questions and some shocking events take place. Basically, things get really intense in this one! (I mean that in a positive way.)
The art and coloring is again gorgeous. It flowed and moved the story along. I’m always amazed by how much emotion and movement can be shown!
If you liked The Nameless City, The Stone Heart will not disappoint. However, the ending will have you begging for book three!
