“How do you plan to get past the city walls?” Baz asked. “Easy," she replied. "We’ll fly.” Baz has found the fabled Declaimer’s Transcendence, the prophecy that promises to lead Oration’s slaves to freedom. But Baz and his companions are battered and on the run, danger at every turn and no aid in sight. Worse still, no one believes Baz when he says he knows where to find the prophesied savior. In an ironic twist of fate, Baz finds his closest ally is none other than his one-time master, a member of the ruling class against whom the rebels are fighting. When Baz returns to where his adventure—or is it a nightmare?—began, his path finally becomes clear. But even then, there are forces working to betray him, both external and in Baz’s own head. Once more, he must face the dark terror beneath the ruined city of Tome, while simultaneously battling the trauma he suffered in the dungeons of Leamina Library. And that’s all before the dragons show up. Will Baz persevere and find Oration’s savior?

Another great book in the Spoken Books Uprising series. I am really glad I found this series and I can't wait to read more. Leanna is a bitch and I hate her. I cannot understand a person who is so determined to uphold a society that depends on slavery, especially since she was friends with Baz and Tax and visited the Retirees sometimes. How could she be so cold? Octavinal is awful, but how the heck is he a Cuss? Do the tattoos give him the power of those who are Bound, or has he had this power the whole time? If the latter is true, how was he not sold into slavery as a Speaker when he was a child? Was he hidden by his family? I know that technically anyone could Speak the Words, but how do the tattoos affect those who do not have an affinity for it? I am so curious and excited to learn more.
Throughout books 1 and 2, I was convinced that Baz was the Declaimer of the prophecy, for no other reason than he is the protagonist. If it is indeed Tax, I would be pleasantly surprised because that does not happen too often in literature, where the protagonist isn't the Chosen One. It would be an interesting perspective to read about the commander of the Warrior army telling us about the prophecy being fulfilled instead of us watching it happen to him.
I am also impressed with D.T. Kane's decision to kill Tessa because I did not expect that to happen. I thought she was too important to die, but it makes sense as a natural segue into Baz's leadership. Tessa would never have given up her role as long as she was alive.
I started writing this review on Goodreads and then the app crashed and I lost all my progress and I am bitter about it. My first attempt at writing it was more eloquent
