The Trials of Koli - The Rampart Trilogy, Book 2 by M. R. Carey



Koli is on his way to London, his aim is to save humanity. Since the Unfinished War the number of humans is diminishing slowly but surely as each village is gradually erased from the map by natural decline. 
 
On his way he had joined up with Ursala-from-Elsewhere and Cup of the Shunned Men, as he has made his way from North of England through the Midlands and on South. 
 
Meanwhile, at his home village of Mythen Rood, Spinner has joined with Haijon Vennastin as a couple and has hopes of being a Rampart wife. As they make their way at the tannery, opportunities present themselves to Spinner to make improvements to her life. She just doesn't know what impact they really will have. 
 
This book swaps back and forth between Koli Faceless and Spinner Tanhide, with just the right amount of focus on each part of the plot. I'm pretty sure that in the final book the threads will come together as a complete masterpiece. 
 
It is just as well written as the previous book and just as enjoyable. I really hope that you'll read it for yourself.
"My hand touched something in the dark. Something that seemed to be growing out of the ground. I run my hand up it and felt the softness of feathers at the topmost tip. It was an arrow."
I received an e-ARC of this novel through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. NetGalley does not allow for paid reviews.

Official description:
Koli has been cast from his village and into the strange and deadly forest beyond. But he heard a story, once. A story about lost London, and the mysterious tech of the old times that was there. And if Koli can find it, there may be a way for him to redeem himself - by saving what's left of humanity.
