The next book in the Masters & Mages series that started with Cold Iron, from the master of fantasy Miles Cameron.

Only fools think war is simple or glorious.

On the magic-drenched battlefield, information is the lifeblood of victory, and Aranthur is about to discover that carrying messages, scouting the enemy, keeping his nerve, and passing on orders is more dangerous, and more essential, then an inexperienced soldier could imagine...especially when everything starts to go wrong.

Masters & Mages:

  1. Cold Iron
  2. Dark Forge
  3. Bright Steel

The story line changes and grows in Dept at a pace which feels right and the characters grow and develop naturally. I feel like I know the characters and I find I am concerned about the future they face.

Interesting story that moves at the right pace.

Cameron crafts an excellent, fast-paced, coming of age adventure that explores both the beautiful and beautiful the not so beautiful facets of human emotion and morality. He does an excellent job of portraying the characters’ internal struggle with those same emotions and morals. Overall, an excellent read and definitely one not to miss.

Also, Cameron continues to show his mastery of historical medieval-era armament, which I particularly enjoy. Well done!

Excellent Adventure with Great Depth & Thoughtful Insight

the author doesnt ignore the logisitics of an army and I like that the culture isnt based on middle Earth and Western Europe.

awesome, refreshing!

Really good book hard to keep up with some of the characters names though and descriptions of characters could be better.

The series is getting deeper and deeper, and the main characters development has been great, making him feel like a real person.

A problem i have with a lot of series is that it's so hard to top a coming of age origin story. The sequels can seem sluggish and anticlimactic in comparison. Cameron not only manages to keep a strong (and relentless!) feeling of progress, but also keeps consistent pacing that gives you the occasional breather. As always, incredible action sequences that make you feel like you're the one swinging the sword. And another top-tier performance from Mark Meadows!

The rare sequel that surpasses the original

I was browsing Audible and saw that the second book in the Masters and Mages series had come out. I added it to my queue and started to relisten to the first book (in the background so I could refamiliarize myself with the setting) and quickly finished it. This book starts out right where the other one left off and doesn't really have too many "down time" sections.

Our primary antagonist continues on his path of discovery and growth set against the backdrop of a war. Exciting action and a more in-depth look at the magic of the world awaits.

A solid second book in the trilogy that still moves the story forward and sets up some good plot points for the third book.

Very good narration as usual.

My only complaint is that I wish publishers (along with the authors) would provide a one-page name guide for those that only get the Audible book - a couple of the names are close and can get confusing about 3/4 of the way through.

A solid second book in the trilogy

Miles/Christian Cameron is one of my favorite authors and this book just reinforces that. I loved this book from start to finish. Great performance by the narrator also. Cameron does two things better than anyone else; write great combat scenes that are believable and based on history and experience and discuss the ethics of violence and nonviolence in real ways while keeping the story moving. do yourself a favor make this your next listen!

Another exciting chapter in an epic fantasy!
