And it continues …

Diving right back in after finishing the first book in this series I continued to enjoy Galley’s take on the genre and world building.

As relationships are formed and strengthened (or weakened) I have enjoyed discovering more about the characters and the magic, the territories and the alliances that exist in Emaneska.

The narrator is fabulous!

Can't get past the narrator.

I want to like this series. I really started getting annoyed by the narrator's style near the end of the first book. I took a break and came back for the second book, but I just can't do it. His accent is fine and the accents he does for the characters are very good, but the non-conversation parts have an odd choice of inflection and word stress points that I can't not hear now.

Great narrator

Everyone has their favorite narrator, RC Bray, Jim Dale, Michael Kramer, Tim Gerard Reynolds, you get the idea. I've never listened to Steven Cree before but his work is excellent and, because of his accent, very unique. He's the only Scottish narrator I've heard of on Audible.

This is the second book in the series so don't start here. Get the first book, let your ears adjust to the accent, and enjoy.

Nothin happens the way YOU want and I like it

I love the blending of mythologies twisted into something new. Overall I think this series is getting better. Excited for the next book

Tolkien this is not.

This story had just enough to keep me listening, but barely. I imagine many listeners will enjoy it more than I as I am hard to please.
