Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A] complex tale...sure to attract fans of graphic novels and classic Tolkien alike....Stanek will likely draw a cult following....This cliffhanger guarantees fans, and those fans will be ready to wield their swords against the Dark Lord in Stanek's next installment." (Voice of Youth Advocates)

Stanek does it again!

As a librarian and avid reader, I find it increasingly difficult to find good books. I give this book the highest rating as the most enjoyable I have listened of the past 20 or so audio books I have enjoyed. The series may begin a bit slow, but things get going soon enough. Near the end of this second book it all starts to come together, and it is wonderful.

There are parts worth hearing again and again, the chase scene in the forest comes to mind as do many others. A few delightful surprises and laughs as well. They are worth listening to, regardless of your tastes in books, you will enjoy them.

This is as good as it gets. You owe yourself a listen.

I love this series

I bought the first two books based on Audible recommendations, and bought the second two books because the books are so good. In this one the story picks up from the first, and keeps moving to the end. Hang on to your seat and try to catch your breath because it's a great ride. Much better than the first, which was good, but this is incredible. It is worth every penny and minute of your time.

Great second book!

This book was a great follow-up to the first one. It continues the story and is in many ways a better story. Like with the first, I couldn't stopped listening and looked forward more and more to quiet times when I could listen. I am amazed by how much I care about the characters. I can't wait to start the third one.

I loved this book!

Cheers to a fabulous story, and a telling to remember. The first book in the series is good but this is a cut above. Very highly recommended.

Most enchanting series this decade

I have listened to about 120 audiobooks in the past five years and this one is arguably the best, even better than the first in the series. Compelling story, beautifully written and by far the best adaptation to an audiobook because the reader catches so much of the essence of the characters. I believe that the reader made this book better than the written word can possibly cover because he brings the story to life. I have listened to this book again and again and again. And so should you.

Worth your money!

Simply put:

Excellent book, poor narration.

Better than the first book!

I enjoyed the continuing story of Vilmos, Seth, Adrina, and the others. This book is even better because it builds on the pace of the first, shows more to the characters and their hardships. As in the first book, there's a lot to like and the reader is amazingly good.

Enter the kingdoms and get swept away!

I love multi-book stories. I love that the story continues from the last pages of the previous book. It is so good I couldn't wait to hear the rest in the series. The characters are worth caring about. The story is wonderfully written and well read. The pacing is very good, with a lot of heart pounding scenes. The twists are well done, and it all kept me listening. Looking forward to the next ones.

A must read

This book is truly amazing. It is a book you can listen to over and over. My second listen to books 1 and 2 was even better than the first because I picked up on all the subtle things the authors adds to the story. The books have strong character development and the characters personalities shine. The plot is strong and highly original with some sweet twists that are unexpected. To be honest, I rate it right up there with Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. It's that good. Great for kids and adults. In other words, it's one of my favorite books ever!

Wonderful story, wonderful reading

The first is pretty good, but this second is the best I've listened to in a long time. The author paints beautiful visual pictures transporting you to a magical place and time. The characters stayed in my mind long after I finished. I'm very glad there are two more in the series. Definitely a favorite!
