Why You Should Read: The Age of Darkness series by Katy Rose Pool
The basic premise of this series is that the End of the World is coming, and the Last Prophet is the only one who can potentially stop it
Set in a Mediterranean inspired fantasy world with cultures that remind me of North Africa, Middle East, Greek, and Slavic cultures
Super diverse and inclusive fantasy world. Reading books like these are such a breathe of fresh air
This book follows the pov of 5 characters who all get thrown together to possibly save (or destroy) the world
We have:
An assassin and her undead sister
An exiled Prince trying to save his people
Captain Jude Weatherborn, Keeper of the Word and leader of the Order of the Last Light, A stoic swordsman
A disaster gay running from his past
Other fantastic side characters
There’s a Hierophant and religious fanatics
As well as a secret order of Paladins charged with keeping the secrets of the last prophecy
The Gays will save the world
gods and secrets and lore
People in this world have ‘graces’ that lend them unique abilities (reminds me a bit of Grisha)
There’s lots of action but this is very much a character driven series. The characters are so complex and their relationships are so complicated it’s great
The purest and most heartbreakingly sweet romance
I’m surprised this series isn’t more popular, it checks the boxes for a lot of what is currently popular, but also feels fresh and new and unique

Check out these five titles to try next! The vibes are: snarky underdog protagonist(s) leveraging a fresh and fascinating magic system to Get What They Want, in a city that may as well be a character on its own 📖 🧙♂️ 🌃
Full list of titles, authors, and blurbs below the cut!
The Never Tilting World by Rin Chupeco
Generations of twin goddesses have long ruled Aeon. But seventeen years ago, one sister’s betrayal defied an ancient prophecy and split their world in two. Now two sisters must heal their broken world–no matter the sacrifice it demands …
The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen
Fie abides by one rule: look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they’re called to collect royal dead, she’s hoping they’ll find the payout of a lifetime.
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
Treasure-hunter Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian banished from his home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in arms if not blood. What they find might change the course of history–but only if they can stay alive.
The Last Sun by K. D. Edwards
Rune Saint John, last child of the fallen Sun Court, is hired to search for Lady Judgment’s missing son, Addam, on New Atlantis, the island city where the Atlanteans moved after ordinary humans destroyed their original home.
There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity―until one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared. All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world’s salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction.

So, I recently started reading The Age of Darkness (AoD) Trilogy. So far, so good - I'm enjoying it. One of the reasons I picked it though was because it's been compared to Six of Crows (SoC) an all-time fave of mine. So I started going through the characters in both, and yeah, there's definitely a couple, which I can say would be characters in SoC. Then I started going through the others and thought who would be Wylan Fahey in AoD. It took me moment to realise I'd given Wylan Jesper's surname without a second thought.

I drew rough pen sketches of most of the cast (how i imagined them while reading) of the Age of Darkness trilogy by Katy Rose Pool. I have nothing against Hector and Illya, I love them both, I just couldn't fit them on the page. If i get around to it I'll draw them too!
I finished the series a few days ago and I loved every second of the rollercoaster ride it took me on. These characters will stick with me. I don't often laugh or cry out loud when reading books, but this series was an exception.
