Historia
In a family torn apart by poverty and violence, Hekat is no more than an unwanted mouth to feed, worth only a few coins from a passing slave trader. But Hekat was not born to be a slave. For her, a different path has been chosen. It is a path that will take her from stinking back alleys to the house of her God, from blood-drenched battlefields to the glittering palaces of Mijak. This is the story of Hekat, slave to no man.

Historia
"The Innocent Mage is come, and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything." Being a fisherman like his father isn't a bad life, but it's not the one that Asher wants. Despite his humble roots, Asher has grand dreams. And they call him to Dorana, home of princes, beggars, and the warrior mages who have protected the kingdom for generations. Little does Asher know, however, that his arrival in the city is being closely watched by members of the Circle, people dedicated to preserving an ancient magic.

The weather magic that holds Lur safe is failing, and the earth feels broken to those with the power to see. Among Lur's sorcerers, only Asher has the skill to mend the antique weather map that governs the seasons, keeping the land from being crushed by natural forces. Yet, when Asher risks his life to meddle with these dangerous magics, the crisis is merely delayed, not averted.

Historia
The Shadow of the Torturer is the first volume in the four-volume epic, the tale of a young Severian, an apprentice to the Guild of Torturers on the world called Urth, exiled for committing the ultimate sin of his profession - showing mercy towards his victim.
Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" is one of speculative fiction's most-honored series. In a 1998 poll, Locus Magazine rated the series behind only "The Lord of the Rings" and The Hobbit as the greatest fantasy work of all time.

Historia
Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He’s also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he’s worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity and all too often he’s become a hero, his very names passing into legend: Acaelus Thorne, Yric the Black, Hrothan Steelbender, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Nimble.

Historia
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Ethrea is an island in the center of the most important shipping route in the world. For 400 years, it has been a land of peace and impregnable security, a perfect trading hub - and a keeper of secrets.

Dexterity Jones is a toymaker. To protect Princess Rhian and his country, he must place his trust in an exile from Mijak.

Excellent balance to the harsh nature of Book 1
This second book of The Godspeaker Trilogy demonstrates the incredible talent of Karen Miller to create and convey culture and its impact on the characters. It is almost a completely different book from the first book which presented a very harsh environment and people. This book presents a world and culture to which we westerners are far more accustomed. The characters, as always, are vividly presented and the narrator does the most incredible job of bringing each and everyone alive to the listener. The narrator reminds me of the narrator for The Innocent Mage and The Awakened Mage. She is the perfect compliment to the author's words and creation. In the first book, it was very difficult to feel much love for the characters as their world was so extreme and harsh. Though I will admit I did find a way to see past most of this and find something to like about most of them. This book is possibly a direct opposite with a world more sensitive and caring and the characters are so easy to like.
I recommend both books, but be aware that the first one may be difficult to listen to at times. This book though is never outside our realm of understanding and begins to explain much of the reasons behind what happened in the first book. They are both worthy of five stars in my opinion, just very different in the story they tell.

Rhian’s character can be whiny and dramatic but its not bad enough to bother me overly much. Great series! Cant wait to see how it ends.

Hands Down, My Favorite
The Godspeaker Trilogy is absolutely my favorite short series. I wish there was more. This second book is great for those used to traditional, European tales. The first book, Empress, is still the one that got be hooked. I read the first book as hard copy at first, and made it through most of The Riven Kingdom. Work and life made it difficult to finish, until I discovered Audible. I was so impressed by Josephine Bailey's narration, that I got the first book and the remaining books. She does a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life. The characters in this book bring great joy. The complicated relationships are good to see. I hoped it worked well.

not for everyone
this series is tough. blood. death. gore. this 2nd book (whole series) i’ve read a few times. and i loved the 1st one so much that this second was a VERY jarring start. i almost thought i mistakenly picked up a different series. however. altho i don’t like the 2nd or 3rd books as much as the 1sronly listening to/ reading it alone doesn’t feel like a complete story.
i like this series a lot. but it’s not like most popular fantasy. it’s doesn’t follow the standard modern fantasy tropes [well a few; orphan is miraculously skilled! .. but it’s almost impossible to Completely avoid and this isn’t a regular story arc so i forgive].
i love it. i dont recommend it lightly. and i barely ever actually take time to review because it’s all so subjective. a book recommendation is such an intimate thing. it takes so many things into consideration. an impersonal online review, for me, is weird.
that being said thanks for reading to this point.
the story is unconventional. may be hard to read for general public. gore. death. violence. repetitive words. pagan rituals. sacrifice. slavery. women rising up and taking over.
readers be aware. <3

WOW.
This was a nice way to change the story up from the first book. One thing I like about Karen's writing is that she left the race of the people of Mijak mostly ambiguous, at least in my opinion, in the first book; she focused on it in this second book, which gave her writing a true western perspective. Besides a great story and cliff hanger ending, I thought the mechanisms she used to tell the story from a western lense were masterful.

A Sequel Well Done
What a breath of fresh air. New setting, compelling characters to both love and hate, all contributing to the over-arching plot from book one. This book stands on its own without relying too heavily on everything that came before yet it manages to remain relevant. It really demonstrates Miller's strength as a writer.

A fun ride
The story is pretty straightforward but does leave the ending of this particular arc a little wanting. I felt that the build up of main antagonist lead to a mostly unsatisfactory ending.
The narrator has fantastic range of emotions a decently distinguishable range of character voices.

still awful performer
I thought the 1st book had annoying characters. but it turns out the voice actress just makes every single female in her books sound like the most obnoxious child even if they are in their 30s. I finished the series by buying the physical books. I got the entire series as a gift on audible and I am sorry I wasted my friends money. Josephine Bailey will never narrate another book for me again.
