Right of Retribution: Book 2

De: William D. Arand

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Warner spent his days like no one else.

He got up, went to work, forced people to balance their scales - either through taking lives or forced penance - went home, spent time with his daughter, slept with one of his girlfriends, and went to sleep.

Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over.

Life was the furthest thing from mundane that it could ever be.

Warner’s life had changed when his daughter had been nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic that he’d never known existed.

Then he came out the other side as the arbiter of Retribution. He now personally hands out justice to any and all he comes across.

Warner has been using his powers considerably since then. Cutting down all who would stand before him and attempt to stop him in his personal crusade.

The price he is forced to pay for such power is catching up to him. Catching up to him and forcing him to pay...with interest.

Spending more of his time sick and wretched after overuse of the power, he must now begin to wonder about the balance in his own life.

Each time he finds himself throwing up golden vomit that turns to blood, he has to wonder just how much damage he is causing to his own body.

Except a great change in the world is coming. One that will force a reckoning no one wishes, with Warner becoming a massive lightning rod for it.

The very world trembles with the actions he’s taken, and quails in fright at what he must do next.

Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen at your own risk.

Oh buddy

Strap in and get ready, this right here is the ties that bind, so much exquisite lore, and story telling.

Good Story

mc is an idiot, stories like this can sometimes turn me off....so to summarize mc feels like the power is taking control.....so what does he do? He uses it more until he kills everyone around him, not a shred of commonsense

Awesome as always

Arand’s books as always are amazing, and this one is no different. I love the tie in with his other books, and Andrea parsneau brings his work to life in a way nobody else really could.

ehhh

Warner is not a character I like. Andrea was great as always with the narration.

Awesome

Great book 2 but is it my imagination or did some of the pronunciation of some of the characters names changed? i really liked the budding friendship that warner and Gus developed

another hit

just another amazing story written by William D. Arand
can not wait for the next book

Amazing!

Another great installment in the Sovereignverse. Great storyline, great characters and an amazing Narrator. Go ahead and listen.

Not much really happens

Mostly setup and world building for the greater universe. a few things happen but there is no real sense of excitement or climax.

listen to swing shift first

great book with a lot of overlap to swing shift and incubus Inc so consider those first

Excellent and Incredible

Firstly, another great story by Arand, filled with the plot, dialogue, action, humor, and characterization he does so well. If (like me) you’re a fan, then you’re going to love this. More Warner, more visits to / from characters we already know and (mostly) love, as well as great progression on not just this series plot, but on the great overarching super-plot. We even get to see behind the curtain a bit to understand more of that. Even as a book just on its own there’s a big thumbs up.

As for the super-plot, I have to admit that the family relationships are too complex now to keep track of. I need a wall chart with yarn strings connecting people and notes so that I can Kanban the hell out of the thing. That also includes an overall timeline of what happened when to who. It’s not that I don’t like it - I do - but it’s hard to see the whole picture. Maybe I need to re-listen the “Norwood worlds” books again to refresh my viewpoint. Oh gosh: twist my arm...

Lastly - and maybe I missed it - but I’d really like to know how / why some of these characters turned. Some of them are mentioned waaay back in the first trilogy, and they’re all loyal at that point. Perhaps we’ll learn more about that later.

Exciting stuff!
