Broad Plain Darkening by Clare Rhoden

Board Plain Darkening
The Chronicles of Pale Book 2
by Clare Rhoden


Thank you to the author and Rachel's Random Resources for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own and are not influenced in any way. 

Goodreads Blurb:


The safe world of the Pale is under threat.

Inside the policosmos, the new Regent Adaeze strives for dominance over the all-powerful Senior Forecaster, but the Pale’s humachine citizens are unaware that their city is close to collapse.

Outside on Broad Plain, the exiled human Hector undertakes a dangerous trek to find a safe haven for the orphaned twins.

How can anyone survive as their world shifts underneath them?

Broad Plain Darkening continues where The Pale ended. We get to catch up with all (or most) of the characters from the first book and even meet some new ones. We get to learn more about all our favorite characters from the first book and gain a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are. 

Rhoden continues to pain detailed pictures of life after the conflagration. There are certain things that happen within this book that are so interesting to think about. It is interesting to see the world painted before us with such changes from life as we know now. The most enjoyable parts of this book for me are the parts of the canine and the tribes people. The interaction between the two is quite a clever thing. 

While this book picked up the pace a little more than the last one it is still a considerably slow burner. Despite the slow pace, this one has enough happening to keep interest throughout the story. The ending also makes me anticipate the third book as I feel invested now and need to know what happens.
