"King of Fools picks up Levi and Enne's story not long after the end of the first book. After the Game of Shadows there is a huge price on both their heads and they've both lost pretty much everything. Levi wants his gang back but after being challenged by his third and losing all their money he's not sure how to win back their trust or sort out their finances. Enne on the other hand doesn't want the reputation she's earned and would much prefer to stay out of the limelight but Vianca has plans for them both and since she has magical control over them thanks to the omerta they don't have a choice but to go along with them.

We see a very different side to Levi in this story, he's had a lot of setbacks and he's not handling the pressure well at all. He is willing to risk anything to free himself and Enne from Vianca but his methods were pretty dodgy at times and I didn't like the way he was willing to place Jac in so much danger. In fact he often makes decisions for other people without consulting them first which I found really frustrating. I also really disliked the way he was using Narinder just to get what he wanted. I loved the chemistry between Levi and Narinder but it was completely ruined by the way Levi would be kissing Narinder while thinking about Enne and how much he wanted to be with her. While Levi did make some particularly bad life choices he does grow a lot throughout the story and I appreciated the way he apologised for the mistakes he made and the way he treated both Enne and Jac.

Amanda Foody has been calling this her "girl gang" book and I did absolutely love how many strong female characters we have in this instalment. Not just Enne and Lola who I already knew and loved but also new characters like Grace, Tock and Sophia were all fab too. The one thing I did find slightly disappointing was that most of Enne's gang spent more time sitting around reading magazines and painting their nails than they did doing anything exciting. Lola and Grace had more of a role to play but the rest of the characters seemed completely unimportant which was disappointing. If you're wondering why I'm not including Tock and Sophia it's because they're members of rival gangs, they were definitely much more kickass than most of Enne's spirits though and I thought they were fantastic characters.

This is a book of two parts, the first is slower paced as it sets the scene, gets all the players in the right places and gives us insights into their motivations, then the second part quickly snowballs into an action packed finale that took my breath away. The ending definitely left me desperate to get my hands on book three and I can't wait to see how certain events play out, I know I'm not the only one who is hoping one thing in particular can be reversed!"

King Of Fools The Shadow Game series Book 2 eBook Amanda Foody Reviews

• I was really hoping that all the good things about the very end of the first book would carry over to this one. They didn't and I found myself struggling to get through this one, just like the majority of the first one. I didn't care about what the characters were doing or feeling. I honestly didn't care what was happening in the world or to our characters.
  
  Just like with Daughter of a Burning City, Amanda has a spectacular premise and a lackluster execution. These characters should be everything I love in a novel, but they're surface level and hard to connect to. I'm not invested in their story or world. I really wish I was because the world is unique and I love the idea of their magic. I wanted so badly for this to work out for me, but instead, it fell flatter than the first one.
  
  *I received a complimentary copy of this book from Inkyard Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.*
• ~This review was taken from bookish blog Literary Weaponry~
  
  I was provided this book by Netgalley for an honest review
  
  I read the first book of this series, Ace of Shades, last year and while I wasn’t blown away I still enjoyed it. So, of course, when I was able to snag myself an early copy of King of Fools I jumped right on that. The early buzz was that this book far exceeded its predecessor and, for once, I actually agree.
  
  We find ourselves back in the City of Sin with Enne and Levi. Now, in Ace of Shades I had hated Enne for the majority of the book and she had only started to redeem her dull and predictable behavior toward the end of the story. I was hoping that we would be treated to that Enne in this book but, alas, the whiny, moping, crying, love sick child was back.
  
  I know, I know. This is being hailed as a book with amazing females characters and girl gangs. I agree, there are some absolutely amazing female characters in this book. Enne simply is not one of them. I groaned every time I came to chapter from her POV. She is about as interesting as a dead fish which is frustrating since she is such a major player in this book.
  
  Before I continue, I should point out that this book is split into two parts. Part I and Part II. While they are both part of the same story they have very different vibes. However, I will tell you right now that they felt like completely different stories written by completely different authors in regards to pacing and characters.
  
  Lets start with Part I Levi. Part I Levi had stolen a chunk of my heart which is really saying something because I very much disliked him in the first book. He is a man whose life has fallen into a state of perilous chaos and he does not handle it well. I LOVE that. His life has gone ass over teakettle and while he is trying to make plans to solve things and, right now, there isn’t a lot he can do. I liked this Levi. Sadly, Part II Levi goes back to the same dull as dust predictable scab he was in Ace of Shades.
  
  Another thing I want to point out about Part I has a magnificent m/m romance that had me all a dither. For those of you who did not grow up with a country grandma I will translate, that romance had me all churned up, and in the best of ways. Those scenes are some of the sexiest I have ever read in any book ever.
  
  We also are given several magnificent secondary characters in this book that I want to shout about. I would have loved the the entire story to have been centered around them instead of Enne and Levi. The secondary characters were complex, fascinating, and varied. Namely, Jac and Lola. We got to know these two a little bit in the first book but they really bloom in King of Fools and I want so much more from them.
  
  Now, I’m sure you’ve seen just as well as I that Foody calls this her “Girl Gang” book. I, for one, was highly unimpressed with this so called girl gang that progressed in Part II. They were stereotyped and, for the most part, childish and it just ground my gears. Looking at magazines and mooning over potential sexual partners while maybe one or two of them actually got some work done. Give me a break. That gang could have been magnificent and instead it was more of a high school clique. Disappointed does not begin to cover my feelings on this.
  
  If I could rate this book by each part I would give Part I a full 5 stars and Part II 3 stars. Yes, they are really that different. I would still recommend this book, especially if you’ve already read Ace of Shades, and I know I’ll pick up the last book of the trilogy once it comes out because I need to know how this story ends.
