The Weirkey Chronicles, Book 2

By: Sarah Lin

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Betrayed. Murdered. Reborn. One last chance to make it right.

Theo's adventure ended with his mentor's hands around his neck. The betrayal cost him his friends, allies, and everything he had built...but not his life. Though broken and powerless, Theo has one last chance to enter the Nine Worlds, wielding the knowledge and expertise of his first life. This time, he needs more than just power, he needs to unravel the deception that killed him once...and is coming for him again.

Theo built his foundation, but now he has no choice except to venture into the brutal world of Deuxan. In this pale realm of blood feuds, he'll find no allies and no resources except those he can steal. He finally has a chance to investigate what happened since in his first life...but he may not like the answers.

The last "good" before it gets "great"

When rereading this book I found myself getting impatient for the next one. Don't get me wrong, there are some good bits. Our first ascensions and orbital bombardments, for example. But aside from seeing a new world and some new characters, this book feels like too much of a bridge between one and three.

One big thing: SENKA. As much as I loved seeing the hidden meanings this reread, I remember how much I hated her the first time around. If anyone thinks she's an annoying mascot character, just wait... the payoff later is pretty amazing.

But that's kind of the problem with this book. Too many of the pieces are setup and not enough are payoff. It's still pretty fun overall, it just pales in comparison to the others.

As for the performance, Baldree is still GOAT.

Great story and performance

An excellent continuation that builds perfectly on the first book's foundation while leaving room for many more adventures to come. Very excited to see how Theo's skills grow.

great magic system

love the soul home system for magic. I wish the books were a little longer but its a nice taste.

great book

Another great book in the weir key chronicle series with great narration by Travis Baldree.

Needs to be longer

It is decent story and I love the world however the story needs to be longer and include a bit more growth on soulhome powers. Honestly I will drop the series if book 3 is not longer its just not worth the credit to spend on anything less than 9 hours.
