I never forgot the Titanides or the Blimps or Cirroco Jones from my early reading of the trilogy and it was great fun to relive the experience in the audio version.
In this second part of the trilogy Cirocco is falling from grace after living for decades on Gaea and she's not as appealing as a drunken wizard but the world of Gaea is always fascinating and worth the trip.
Loved it when I read it years ago

Other than that it's definitely an interesting story that melds aliens, gender, sexuality, and mythology.
The narrator is fine, story is unique, but...

Allyson Johnson’s effort here is much more satisfying than in the previous book. Thankfully there are many more characters in this novel for her to explore her vocal range. She manages to cast her voice in a deeper tone much of the time which suits me better for long hours of listening. I liked how she assigned different accents to the various Titanides. The character with the French name carries a French accent. I liked it.

Wizard suffers from the typical middle child syndrome common in trilogies. It comes off as a hodge-podge of themes and plot lines in an attempt to set up a more satisfying denouncement with some resolution of the evolving Gaean madness. The tale's specific characters, Robin and Chris (with intentionally ambiguous names) enter with weird illnesses and introduce lots of philosophical musings on religion and gender roles as well as an interspecies romance in addition more traditional' brokeback mountain interludes. Probably the most salient commentary is that Gaea's penchant for movies and film has led to her mental instability.
Narration is well done with good character distinction and reasonable pacing.

I honestly feel like I'm being punked. The first book was really boring. The characters were not interesting and it seems to throw in sex for no reason. There are so many details that lead to no payoff. It's like he was getting paid per page. I was assured that each book gets better and that is not true.
This book was equally bad. New characters that could be interesting but just end up being boring with no depth. The story just goes on and on and then just suddenly comes to an end. This feels like a solid amateur attempt, but far short of anything note worthy.
Again the author just randomly throws in sex to try and keep the reader interested. I could appreciate it if the writing was good. If it's going to be smutty at least make it good smut. Toward the end of the book I started to wonder if this was just an attempt to justify his beastiality urges. This dude seems to be infatuated with lesbians and fudging horses.
I cannot recommend this book on any level.
