Acolyte started exactly where we left off in the first book, Shardless, with Vaughn being reprimanded, Taly in a time loop space with the Time Queen and Skye battling the Shades. The second book expanded a lot more on the history, character backgrounds and their motives. Biggest question of all was: Who was the villain and why did the Queen close the gates all those centuries ago?
Acolyte was just as good as the first book, but I wished we had more scenes with Taly and Skye together. There were a few but it wasn't the same. Most of the book involved Taly learning time magic while Skye figured out how to save Taly since everyone around him thought she was gone.
I really enjoyed seeing and learning more about Skye's older brother Kato. There was so much more depth to him than first impressions but in this book, we had the opportunity to peel back the layers to better understand why he acts the way he does. I like him just as much as Skye and Taly.
The final few chapters had my heart racing with anticipation. I can't wait to read the third book whenever it gets published. Hopefully this year! All in all, Acolyte was a great sequel. To be honest, I'm surprised this series isn't as popular as other books, if not more. The series is truly magical, breath of fresh air, exceptionally written with standout character, plot and worldbuilding. Seriously, this is a series you don't want to miss. Highly, highly recommend!

Magic marked her for suffering.
Magic will save her.
Magic will lead her home.
How far is too far when it comes to love?In a matter of moments, everything Taly ever thought she knew came crashing down around her. Her mother’s spells were broken, her powers unleashed. She’s no longer mortal but fey, and every day serves as a reminder that her entire life has been a lie.To make matters worse, Taly has been captured and imprisoned by a woman claiming to be the Time Queen. Her only way home is to play the Queen’s game and train in the art of time magic. The Queen has commanded that she become an Acolyte — a task that could take years to complete. Meanwhile, Skye is left as the last line of defense to protect Tempris from an invading horde of walking dead. He still doesn’t have a name or a face to put to his enemy, and there are traitors inside the city. Everyone keeps saying that Taly is dead, but he can’t accept it. He won’t. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her back — even if it costs him everything.A renegade queen, forbidden magic, and a love that reaches across time and space — Taly and Skye will be tested, their loyalties pushed to the point of breaking, as war looms on the horizon.
