Reaping darkness, the Shadow slicked steel with judgment and danced with death…

Sixteen-year-old Aza inherited the power of shadow to rid the land of evil as Odriel’s cold-blooded assassin. With her growing strength, Aza discovers the Shadow Plane—a realm of wraiths where screams haunt the winds, calling to her. Although her father forbids her from entering the dark realm, Aza can’t ignore the beckoning whispers.

When a dangerous new breed of monster attacks, Aza believes the Shadow Plane holds the answers they need to defeat them. With the unwanted help of a snarky cat and a cursed beast, Aza seeks out the monastic Wraith-Called for answers. But the deeper Aza delves into the dark realm, the further she drifts from the world she knows.

As Aza uncovers evils new and old, she must decide if the ends really do justify the means… and how many lives she’s willing to pay.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sequel that's maybe even better than the first one - though I love them both!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023

I loved the first book in this series, Odriel’s Heirs, and considered Kaia and Klaus the perfect kick-ass pair who gets things done. They were appealing to me as characters and as I love to stick with characters I know, I was apprehensive about jumping forward some decades in time. However, I needn’t have fretted in the slightest. Idriel’s Children introduced me to some wonderful characters (Aza! Makeo! Witt!) and everyone’s favorite cursed cat makes a reappearance.

This fantasy world continues to excel in interesting world-building and lore, engaging action scenes, and emotional character relationships. I bought the next novella and the last book in the series as soon as I was finished with this one, so I am eagerly looking forward to seeing how this story completes.

I must commend Hayley again on writing characters that make me laugh, shake my head, that bring a big smile to my face, that pique my interest… and particularly here, that leave a touch of sorrow in my heart.

This is an enjoyable read that can easily function as a standalone, but I heartily recommend also reading Odriel’s Heirs to get a deeper look at this fascinating fantasy world that the author has crafted.

(Also, how fascinating, eerie, and interesting is the Shadow Plane!)

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like playing Tomb Raider and DragonFable, you're going to LOVE this book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2023

I received an ARC Copy of this book and this is my unbiased opinion on Idriel's Children.

It's always a pleasure to read Hayley's books. The world building is phenomenal, the cast of characters stick to you, and you can count on Hayley to give you nightmares when it comes to describing the creepy creatures that dwell in the worlds she has written. I would also like to add, if you like slow burn romantic subplots and her book The Gatekeeper of Pericael, you'll like this one.

While I'm normally bored of slow burn romances, Hayley keeps you interested with a great balance of action and drama throughout the story, and the "long wait" to see my "ship" sail was well worth it. It has the fairytale feel of Beauty and the Beast (you'll get the reference once you read it), the badassery of a strong female lead like Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series, and a great fantasy storyline, which reminds me of a game I used to play as a child: Dragonfable. There are only two stories I've read that I can see being adapted into a roleplay/life simulation game: Deion Skogg's upcoming novel Garden By Day and this one: Idriel's Children.

Will I recommend this book? Definitely! Will I read it again? For sure. If you love books that give off Dragonfable and Tomb Raider vibes, this is THE book to read. A bonus if you like a dash of romance on the side.

The creatures and villains in this one did curl my toes at times, (I have a pretty soft heart though), so if this is your vibe you should definitely check it out because this story is compelling! There's also some sad bits that broke my heart, but I count that as a plus if an author can make me feel so much. The main character, Aza, didn't speak to me quite as much as her mother did in the first book, but she does have a very redeeming arc at the end, and I love redemption arcs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Paced Fantasy Adventure, Even Better Than The First Book!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2023

Chow has done it again with another fun fast paced fantasy adventure. In Idriel's Children we are taken back to the enchanting world of Okarria and transported 28 years in the future. With the leap forward in time Idriel's Children can be read as a standalone, however I would highly recommend reading all of the Odriel's Heir's books in sequence.

In book two we have a whole cast of new characters to fall in love with, plus appearances from some of the characters from the first book. Best of all my favorite cursed cat Shadmundar returns for another quest. With the rise of Idriel's Children and a main character that is a Shadow Heir this book is a little darker and more complex than the first.

The characters are really well developed. I couldn't help but care about their interests and what happened to them. So much so that I found myself suddenly in tears towards the end of the book.

This was a great addition to the Odriel's Heirs Series and I can't wait to read what Chow writes next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling sequel filled with magic, adventure, bonds, and friendship

Hayley blew me away with this sequel! I wasn't sure what to expect but Zephyr and Aza were amazing and this story is absolutely incredible. I loved delving more into the Shadow Heir side this time and seeing their history, struggles, and sacrifice. This story has everything with unique world building from the Maldibors and Magi to the characters like Makeo and Witt. It also covers mental health and self worth in a believable heart wrenching way. I cried several times reading this book. I can't wait to read book 3!

5.0 out of 5 stars Transportive molten GOLD

…molten gold that I shoveled into my brain with insatiable appetite, utterly oblivious to all else until I’d consumed the book in its entirety. It’s that good.

Another heart-stopping journey of twists and turns at breakneck pace! The depth and relatability of the characters, the creativity in the details, and the way I can see, hear, smell, and taste each vibrant setting—such craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me in these books.

Furthermore, the universe held within this series is absolutely boundless. Around the corner of every chapter, there’s always a new interesting city or landscape or intriguing critter crawling around, and beyond that, the Shadow Plane. I have been to these awe-inspiring places, fought alongside these courageous characters, brushed up against these fascinating creatures, all just through Hayley’s writing while I’m sitting here with my tea.

And what I’ve learned is that the only thing you can predict about the plot is that you can’t predict it! Never once was I allowed to catch my breath in this book and I loved every second of it! Cannot wait to see where this goes next!

I love that this series continued the story but with the offspring of those in the original.
It was like the first story filled with magic, action, and emotion, I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about how the shadow heir power works.
