C. L. Clark's Faithless gathers the fragments of romance and revolution, building a story that cuts deep and clings on. Set once more in Clark's intricately spun North-African-inspired world, this sequel explores more complex loyalties, precarious alliances, and indeed—more heart-aching Sapphic yearning.
Like an well-honed sword, Clark's prose is still sharp-edged and slick, driven in fast, clean and deadly effective. Characters Touraine and Luca return; their responsibilities are greater, their decisions messier, their yearning sharper—seriously, these two might communicate better with semaphore signals across a roaring battlefield than they do face-to-face.
Watching Touraine and Luca stumble toward clarity and connection, frequently taking three frustrating steps back for every heart-thrilling step ahead, brings real excitement among changing power balances, smouldering rebellions, and political intrigue as thick as smoke. Get ready to gently shake your fist affectionately at the page, pine, and maybe sigh.
The Faithless will quickly entangle you in its wonderfully complex embrace if your ideal fantasy is still full of stubbornly human heroes, rebellions you would hesitate to join (but secretly adore), and relationships that make your heart hurt with both sweetness and frustration.
