Publisher's summary

High fantasy doesn’t get better than this - revisit the classic Forgotten Realms in this 2nd book of the Finder’s Stone Trilogy by veteran authors Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb. More than a hunk of junk, the Wyvern’s Spur has moldered in a crypt for 15 generations until now. The Wyvernspur family’s powerful heirloom has been stolen, and grand wizard and patriarch Drone Wyvernspur is the first to fall to the ancient item’s curse. The family fool, Giogi, is left to find it, but even recovering the spur cannot guarantee his clan’s safety. Fortunately, the famous halfling bard Olive Ruskettle and a mysterious and talented mage named Cat are determined to help. But when betrayal and enchantment threaten Giogi’s progress, he must invoke the spur’s awesome might...or become its next victim!

Comic Relief (Enjoy Mat Cauthon you'll like this!)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really enjoy this book. I've read it at least 5 times and the audiobook doesn't disappoint. I've always though of it as an goofy episode of a TV show where the writers are just having a good time and a good chuckle. The story is quite good and very humorous. Giogiani Wyvernspur most notable for his catestrophic impersonation of King Azoun and then having his horse devoured by the Red Dragon Myst is the principal character in this book that stays central to one small town. It gives an excelent look into the "home life of adventurers." I really enjoyed listening to Giogi's issues with his family, his friends, coming to terms with his family legacy. But there is also plenty of action and mystery to make it exciting. Its a great mix. I highly recommend this book specifically to anyone who fast fowards through Robert Jordan's Wheel of time Books just to get to the Mat Cauthon chapters!

Lotta Bad Press

This book takes a lot of bad press and gets a lot of bad reviews. I can't say I disagree with all of them. But unlike most, I think I know why.

The first book was very good. Instead of following that up with another story about the same characters, the Authors chose a background, nothing character from the first book, and made him the main character of the second book. Moreover, the main character and two of her major supporting cast aren't in this book at all and barely mentioned, used more as plot points. So I get it, and my rating of the book reflects that.

It's also very hard to separate it from the first book. I tried to look at it from the perspective: if this was the first book, would I love it as much as the actual first book? Novak's pros are still on point, the story arc is engaging, and none of the characters seem cookie cutter or boring. But I keep coming back to the fact that it's not the first book. I love Alias and Dragonbait and Akabar. Again, this my rating of this book.

I'm still going to finish the series, but unlike when I went straight from the first book into the second, I think I'll take a break and come back to it in a while. Give myself some breathing room.

Do it.

Surprisingly better than I expected. Engaging and entertaining. I initially thought it was going to be filler in the series but it stands well on its own.

Entertaining with some annoyances.

Overall a good D&D based adventure book. Story is easy to follow with only a few moments of “huh?”. The ending did seem a bit rushed. Some annoying inflections (I.e. the constant “, girl!” Sentences). Overall a good 3.5 stars.

Barely okay...

Narration was fine, but sometimes annoying character voices. Story was barely okay. Last book was much better

Good narration. Fun, but flawed story

Charming and imaginitive,though they needed an editor willing to keep the character's integrity consistent.

One of my favorite books

I do love this book, out of the 3 I've read this one dozens of times and wish since it was written that a book or two were written about the wyvern spur adventures.

Fairly Good Followup

This is a fairly good followup to Azure Bonds, focusing on one of the books primary characters (Olive) and a minor character turned main character (Jiogi).

Alias is mentioned a few times, but this is as might have been expected, a continuation of the Finder Stone which ends up in Jiogi's hands at the end of the 1st book.

Significantly more slapstick and love story elements than the first. A bit less "adventure" but plenty of good D&D monsters to be battled.

There is further mystery introduced to the questions started in the first book which are not brought to a conclusion in this one. Enough so that I am interested in starting the third soon.
