Book 2 was more interesting than Book 1 since it expanded the story arc in fascinating ways. We find that Lindon has somehow formed a bond with Yerin through his trustworthiness and keen ability to find ways to overcome his severe limitations by using other tools at his reach to defend Yerin at critical points. Yerin, herself, is shown to be a much more interesting character than the one-dimensional warrior as depicted in the previous book.
We are also introduced to two new apex characters, Jai Long an antagonist and Eithan an aloof interloper with mysterious foresight abilities. There are other interesting secondary characters and Will Wight expertly weaves a fascinating narrative that has both Yerin and Lindon barely surviving one confrontation after another mostly driven by Lindon’s drive to increase his rank through hard work and an insatiable appetite for learning.
Travis Baldree’s narration continues to be a delight to listen to.
As of this writing, I’m begrudgingly on hold for Book 3 in hopes that it will eventually be offered in WhisperSync as the first two.
