Requiems' Hope was more based around preparing for fighting King Raem and the demons who are about to fight the dragons and their new kingdom they are trying to create for themselves so that they can live in peace. But King Raem does not want a single dragon to live, even though he is a dragon himself. So half of this book was preparing for the battle, which was alright. Some of it was interesting, but I felt some parts of this were slightly repetitive and it didn't need to be so long. I think the author could have cut down on all the preparations that happened for the battle. One thing that bothered me was that the two sisters, Laira and Issari ended up doing the same thing to help bring more numbers to their side of the battle. I won't say what it was, but they were on separate parts of the world and they both ended up essentially doing the same thing to get another kingdom to help them in their war. I don't exactly why I didn't like that; I'm not sure if I feel that the author was being lazy or if it was just way too similar to each other that it made it feel kind of like lazy writing. And I hate to say that because I know writing is difficult because I'm not great at it either, but the two instances were way too similar for me.The actual battle that took place was written pretty well. I kind of wish there was more action scenes written here, but the author continued to use this as a way to describe the horrific looking demons. Since this was supposed to be a huge battle, and it was, I was hoping for a bit more action details and a little less physical descriptions of the demons. But it was still over all a well written battle and the end of it was unexpected. I won't spoil anything though.
I really enjoyed Requiem's Hope, not quite as much as I did the first book, but it was a good sequel and I can't wait to see how things turn out in the third book, which I will be reading next, Requiem's Prayer. Happy reading everyone :)
