About this listen
What would it take for you to commit treason?
Join Quistix, a battle-torn blacksmith on a dangerous mission, as she and her endearing companions journey to deliver the knowledge-hungry esteg, Aurora, to the floating city of Apex. Quistix soon unearths a dark family history and delves into the rich mystery surrounding her wild, new magical abilities.
Meanwhile, back on the isle of Destoria, a power-drunk quichyrd breathes life into the dead, playing God to her amassed, army of rotting creatures.
With airborne dragons, puzzles, vicious tundra goblins, thieving wyls, power-hungry royalty, and the seething undead, this exciting continuation of the saga is a tale of hilarity, heartbreak, and thrilling adventure that will leave you with the question:
Who is truly running Destoria?

Not gonna lie, the narrator's voice is so amazing I could listen to her read the dictionary all day long. I did often find myself having to back up certain passages because I realized I wasn't listening to the words, just the beauty of her voice.
Book ends on an intrigue, not a real cliffhanger, but I definitely want to know what happens next.
What?!?

Was so happy to have the same narrator as book 1 and still love her change of voice for the little dragon.
Amazing fantasy world

This book shared another oddity with book one: too much reference to all things scatological, including creatures who are known to produce ripe farts (and do so regularly) and using flaming poop-tipped arrows to try to take down enemies.
We do find out in this book what the Illuminator is, and after the buildup in Book One and this one, what it ended up to be was a bit disappointing. Even though I listened to these books almost back to back—but not quite as, again, I don't have much taste for horror—I found the world and the different creatures and beings within it confusing. The author doesn't just have standard fantasy characters like elves and witches, but also creatures she's made up and given odd names. In an audiobook, it's hard to track this when there are so many different types of creatures (that can have multiple names) and even hybrid creatures (which can also have multiple names). Unlike a book, you can’t flip back through the pages to try to figure out who's who and what’s what. Unless you prefer dark fantasy or horror, I don't recommend this book or this series. I hope for future readers or listeners that the author is more honest in her book descriptions so that readers with no interest in dark fantasy or horror can avoid a book that truly is those subgenres.
I have given relatively low stars to this book, not because I dislike the subgenre, but because—even stripping away my revulsion—the story simply lacked in too many ways and was too confusing as an audiobook.
More Dark Fantasy/Horror than High Fantasy
