Blood of the Mantis is the third novel in Adrian Tchaikovsky's richly imagined Shadows of the Apt series, following Dragonfly Falling. Stenwold must rally his allies for battle against the Empire, even as it seeks a dangerous artifact of enormous power.
A dread ritual casts a deadly shadow . . .
Achaeos the seer has finally tracked down the stolen Shadow Box. But he has only days before this magical artefact will be lost to him forever. Meanwhile, the Empire's dread forces are mustering for their next great offensive. Stenwold and his followers have only a short time to gather allies, before the enemy's soldiers march again – to conquer everything in their path. If Stenwold cannot hold them back, the hated black and gold flag will fly over every city in the Lowlands before the year's end.
Yet a more insidious threat awaits. Should the Shadow Box fall into the hands of the power-mad Emperor, nothing will save the world from his relentless ambition.
Blood of the Mantis is followed by Salute the Dark, the fourth book in the Shadows of the Apt series.

Vilken galen crazy bok ..totalt out of it.. börjar fundera om författaren tuggat svamp och läst Alice i underlandet samtidigt som han ritade ihop denna kreation. Nåväl.. fascinerande och underhållande trots frånvaron av sans och balans.

Svårt att avgöra huruvida denna bok är bättre än den föregående när det kommer till själva handlingen men eftersom jag börjat lära känna en del karaktärer har jag blivit mer investerad i det som sker.
