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

Product Information

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.” All of Our Demise is the epic conclusion to Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman’s New York Times bestselling All of Us Villains duology. 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.

All of Our Demise Quotes by Amanda Foody - Goodreads All of Our Demise Quotes by Amanda Foody - Goodreads

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.As with the first book, I love how the magic fits in. Most of our remaining characters are cursed, and their various curses are extremely personal, illuminating and challenging them in specific ways. Gavin’s magic is still tied to his life magic; using it causes his extreme pain. It has made him both more powerful and weaker in unexpected ways. He has found a way to siphon life magic from others, which puts him in the morally dangerous position of causing pain to others to relieve his own. Alistair likewise has his monstrousness cursed; the curse Isobel hit him with takes his life slowly, with the curse spreading every time he does something villainous. As a person who has built his identity and reputation on being villainous, and whose current survival—and the survival of his beloved brother—depends on his being able to kill others, this obviously puts him in a precarious position. The way these curses complement each other and force Alistair and Gavin into an uneasy alliance is also really interesting. And Isobel, whose beauty is her armor and whose public face is what has given her a chance in this competition (and reunited her with her father and his side of the family), finds herself turning into a living corpse, devoid of her beauty and even her breath and forced to rediscover herself without it… and come to terms with the fact that her family legacy is a curse. It is all done so brilliantly and beautiful. I seriously can’t shut up about this series. It’s so good. The incredible conclusion to the tournament that started in the category bestselling novel All of Us Villains.

A Note From the Publisher

Each of the champions may have come from different families, but they had all learned that "life was inherently unfair".

It’s a curse that casts itself over and over again,” Briony explained. “The Champions Pillar is the spellstone at the septogram’s center. And the dead champions fill it with power, cycle after cycle.” Ilvernath has never had a tournament like this. Rules that have maintained the curse for centuries are breaking. Our family needs to know why.”I’ve been looking forward to part 2 of this duology since the second I finished the first one and it didn’t disappoint.
