In this book, we meet several characters whose stories will all come together in time. There is Jetekesh, a prince who is trying to change from the spoiled brat he was. His cousin Rille, who is a seer, has arrived to give them warning of strange dreams she has been having. She believes an evil they thought defeated has been released. At the same time, 2 people from the Clansland arrive to give the news that evil creatures have been seen and destroyed their village and killed their people. Then, like a shooting star, Kethalas appears on his balcony one night and tells him he is marked by truth. And that he was following an evil being who destroyed the portal (the Arch) to their world from his world. There is also an Emperor turned King after relinquishing power and territories, a young woman from an unknown village who wants to keep peace (Kajsa), the emperor of Shing and 3 travelers from Shing as well.
There are so many characters, I hope I did not miss any! It may seem like there is too much going on, but all these characters are grouped together and easily followed and remembered. They are all trying to defeat an evil they thought gone only a year prior, while figuring out what the other evil they have detected may be.
This story is well written and the characters are all wonderful in their own ways. Jetekesh is looking for his own redemption from being a spoiled brat, Kethalas has disappointed his people, Song comes out of "retirement" to help, Kajsa must learn to overcome her fears (of which she many). The main story arc is completed and ends very well. And now there is so much more to the story that I keep wondering what this next foe will be and where will the next book go!

About the author
Love an ensemble!
This offers a compelling adventure with an ensemble cast. I absolutely love when a book has strong, well-developed characters, and this one delivered on that front. I LOVE an ensemble cast, but they're typically a little tougher because you must develop numerous characters all at once - and again, this one managed that task easily. All of these POVs were equally interesting. Each of the characters had their own distinct personalities and roles to play, and they all contributed to the story in meaningful ways.Even though I hadn’t read the prequel, I found that The Shattered Arch stood well on its own. Throughout this story, I kept wishing that I started with the prequel but I don't think it's necessary to do so. This one just made me curious enough to pick up the prequel. The author did a good job of giving enough context. Still, it left me curious to dive into the prequel after finishing this one.The world-building here is intriguing and layered. Instead of overwhelming the reader with heavy exposition, the magic and the setting unfold gradually through the characters’ journey and discoveries. I enjoyed that aspect—it made the world feel like a mystery that’s slowly revealed. You get just enough to understand what’s going on, but there’s still plenty left to explore, which definitely left me wanting more.I’m excited to dive deeper into this series and see where the story takes these characters next!
