In Second Cataclysm, Jason F. Smith and C. Parker Garlitz have launched a revolution in epic high fantasy. Four brave heroes from the desert city of Demon's Bluff find themselves in a desperate race to foil the reemergence of the ancient Cult of Yex. Cael, Needle, Brynn, and Mallet discover that their destinies are inextricably intertwined and the future of their world is in mortal peril. When a massive prophesied earthquake rips their hometown, the heroes are swept into a relentless struggle against the secretive and pernicious Cult.
The Cult of Yex Saga shatters the mold of traditional epic fantasy, elevating it to new heights of storytelling sophistication. The Cult of Yex Saga is an exquisite blend of magic and high fantasy told in the exciting style of a thriller: mystery, suspense, and fast-paced action. The exciting new fantasy world is filled with compelling characters, atmospheric settings and terrifying villains. Don't start reading unless you are planning to lose sleep and skip work. The more layers of the cult's diabolical scheme you uncover, the more you begin to comprehend the far-reaching depths of their nefarious plot. From the captivating first page to the heart-stopping climax, the masterfully woven plot will compel you to keep the pages turning. Brace yourself: The Cult of Yex Saga is unlike any fantasy series you have ever read.

The story lost marks for being a bit standard : our young heroes have each lost one or both parents before their family's secret duty could be passed on and they are destined to save the world from evil.
What saved it was fun, likeable characters and a good paced story. I will be picking up the second book to find out what happened to them. Now that characters are established, I am hopeful authors will flex the settings and situations uniquely to really hook my interest.
The narrator did a fine job. He has a great story telling voice, though I'd swear he called one of the characters "Carl" a couple of times. If it was just him reading, I would have given a higher mark for narration. Unfortunately, there is an uncredited female narrator. Her voice upsets the mood considerably, taking your imagination out of the world of the story. She sounds a bit nervous. It doesn't help that her lines are histories and commentary outside the action of the story. I think the production director should have opted for one reader for sure.
Tl;Dr good, not great, story; well paced story; likeable characters; was entertained but not wowed. Good enough to pick up book 2 tho.
Enjoyable intro to series
