Review:

King of Fools by Amanda Foody is such an amazing follow up to Ace of Shades. I love how clever Foody is with this book. This book focuses a lot on Enne. We really get to know her in this book. We see how fearless she is. I love her unapologetic attitude. She definitely knows how to work with what she has. I really enjoyed how Enne decides to put together her own girl gang. This girl gang is pretty amazing. They really supported each other.

This book expands the world from Ace of Shades so much more. I feel like all the characters grew even more. We really got to see different sides of them. One of my favorite things in a book is seeing characters evolve and become better characters, and let me tell you...Foody does a great job with this. You will not be disappointed in this book. I liked it way more than the first one.

Then we have Jac. Jac, I love you dearly and I want to make the world so much better for you. Jac deals with a drug abuse problem. He is finally getting better only to be thrown into a world of Chaos that could make him worse again. My love goes out to you Jac.

This was definitely a great sequel and I am really looking forward to book three. Thank you Amanda Foody for writing such an amazing book.
