All of Our Demise: The epic conclusion to All of Us Villains

Product Information

they had more than a common enemy: they shared a common cause. And they were ready to fight for it . . . Gavin Grieve intrigued me from book one - like, who would not root for the underdog whose family has ever raised him only to be slaughtered and never actually love him - but now he just swept me away. His journey made my heart ache. All of Our Demise is the second book in Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman's All of Us Villains duology. It was released on August 30th, 2022.

Once again this story doesn’t pull any punches, delivering the hardest one of all at an unexpected moment and the ending was delivered beautifully, painfully and perfectly in tune with the series.It felt a bit chaotic at the early stages as so much was going on but it the events in play were very high stakes so this was to be expected. However once I got into the swing of things again, I was hooked. All of that changed one year ago, when an anonymously authored book catapulted Ilvernath into the international spotlight. The only small complaint I have is that some of the trials can feel a little repetitive. I appreciate that Foody and Herman did their best to make each one distinct, but there’s no getting around the fact that there are seven of them. I like the way that they fit in with the family histories and the ingenuity deployed to solve them all, but I won’t pretend that I wasn’t a little disappointed when I got to a trial chapter because on the whole I found them less exciting and dynamic than the others.

The ending was unexpected, and a bit of a gut punch if I'm honest - but that's all I'll say on the matter (no spoilers here!) Gavin had once agonized over whether the real Alistair Lowe was more boy or monster, but now he understood that Alistair was both. And even though neither canceled the other out, he didn’t think that made Alistair beyond redemption.” If you had asked me if I expected this story to take this turn my answer would have been no. If I had known the plot without reading the book I would have probably thought it was not what I wanted. But damn it, this book was amazing and it really surprised me. I loved seeing the characters overcome the brainwash their parents gave them and how they understood how to become their own persons and take their destiny in their hands, even if it meant taking heartbreaking choices. Briony, the older of the two, had been raised certain that she belonged at the center of her family’s stories. She was tall and muscular from a life spent in motion, her hands adorned with an arsenal of crystal spellrings whose power few others could wield. There was no challenge she wouldn’t confront to meet her goals. No price she wouldn’t pay for victory.A blood-soaked modern fairytale brimming with magic, spectacle, and unforgettable characters.” —Katy Rose Pool, author of There Will Come A Darkness I loved seeing Isobel Macaslan dealing with the aftermath, owning up to her deeds, and accepting herself for who she is. She goes through quite a journey too. Nevertheless, while I still enjoyed her parts very much I feel like the reason why her POV was more interesting for me than Briony´s is those boys, first Alistair and now Reid. These trials were supposed to show the truth, but there was no truth to her family’s legacy—because they’d lied to everyone, but they’d lied to themselves most of all.” It was true that Briony had believed the tournament was her destiny. She’d believed it so strongly that she’d cut off Innes’s finger so she could steal her champion’s ring and claim her spot in the tournament. Yes, she’d genuinely thought Innes would die if she participated. But Briony has also envisioned herself as a legend, a breaker of an impossible curse.
