Finally! We all win.

I've been hoping Nell pulls the trigger on this book for ages. I've read the trilogy. Lister is a top 5 performer. What can I say? Merry Christmas, I guess.

I don't bother with reviewing the story line. You don't read reviews for whether the main character follows some moral imperative or compromises this or that phony philosophy. You come here to read whether this is worth your money or not. Whether it is challenging and entertaining. It is. Thank you again writer and performer.

The exact opposite of the proverbial "Second Book"

Wow, this book was nuts. I compared the two main characters of this trilogy to two other popular characters: Kaladin Stormblessed (Kale) and Logen Ninefingers (Ruka). Book 1 was mostly Kaladin, with some Logen sprinkled throughout. This book was mostly Logen, and because of that, I started to really dislike Kale/Kaladin because I started to REALLY like Ruka/Logen. However, whenever the story went back to Kale, I remembered that I really like him....

This bizarre conflict of emotions was attributed to just how real these characters feel, and was only one positive thing about this book.

The two main systems that gets fleshed out in this book are also insanely cool. Love to see it. Can't wait to dive into book 3!

Underrated

So far this series has become one of my favorites of all time and this was only book two. Cannot recommend this more. And as far as Audio Books go the narrator here is amazing. All around just really, really good. I had no intentions to binge a trilogy when I started book one and here I am about to start book 3.

As great as book one.

Rich world building. Complex characters. Surprises in the story as it unfolds. Great narrator. Loved it !

Better than the first - and I loved the first.

Great follow up - narration and story all top quality. Keeps you engaged and interested throughout

Great book l love lots of action and well paced.

I liked this book much better then part one. Starting book 3 right now thanks.

This book is centered around Ruka so it's amazing.

100 stars

What an amazing adventure, well written and very enjoyable. This series is The BEST series I've read in a while. Narration is fantastic. Story is Epic!
I highly recommend it. Thank for this fantastic gift. Can't wait for part 3 audiobook.

Pretty great

I loved it all the way through. It was quite the roller-coaster. Definitely, I recommend it.

More please....

The second novel doesn't feel like filler. Nell delivers on many of the promises set up in the Kings of Paradise and I am all in it for the 3rd installment. Lister's narration gets better and more powerful as he has come to know these characters and understands their motivations. If you like Abercrombie, and Martin, you'll love Nell's Ash and Sand trilogy.

Even better than the 1st?!

Grim Dark fantasy at it's finest. I loved the 1st book and this one's even better?! Highly recommend this series
