The governors are not so easily persuaded and the Alangi are returning to the world. Lin will travel to the several islands looking to secure alliances for her new rule but that is easier said than done. Anyone can use these constructs to their advantage and Lin makes a direct order for all constructs to be destroyed throughout the Empire.

The constructs that Lin’s father controlled using Bone Shard Magic are either being destroyed or are running free in the Empire with no orders. They will develop a special bond as new powers will awaken in Lin similar to Jovis and Mephi, but Thrana will be forever haunted my her trauma. Lin also discovered the creature her father was using for his experiments and has set her free with the name Thrana. Lin, having killed her father after learning the terrible things he was doing beneath the palace, is now the ruling Emperor. This will be a spoiler free review but I will be touching upon events from the first novel. I need it like my first cup of coffee in the morning! The Drowning Empire is one of the best fantasy series you can read on the market today and a personal favorite of mine. Several mysteries will be revealed while new ones will keep popping up throughout the story with an ending that will have you begging the concluding volume. I have shouted from the top of my lungs that The Bone Shard Daughter was my favorite book released in 2020 and I am very pleased to say that The Bone Shard Emperor is even better! Everything introduced in book 1 is built upon and expanded in this vast Empire which is also drowning beneath the seas. I received an eARC from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
