Fire and Song

Warformed: Stormweaver, Book 2

By: Bryce O'Connor

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

The Iron Prince will claim his crown.

Reidon Ward's first semester at the Galens Institute hasn't been without reward. In just over half a year he's gone from the weakest cadet at school to one of the strongest in his class, and there's no one left who would argue that his Device, Shido, isn't the most terrifying CAD they've ever laid eyes on. Still, Rei knows that his climb has barely begun, like he knows that the true fight is only just starting.

After all… The Sectionals tournament has arrived.

Rei, along with Aria, Viv, Catcher, and a couple unexpected squadmates, are about to face the first real battle of their careers. Squaring off with some of the best Users in the Astra System, they're going to have to put everything they have—as individuals and as a team—into their coming fights if they want to ultimately end up standing at the top. As ever, though, their journey is hardly bound to be a smooth one.

Especially not when Rei and Aria begin to suspect that Shido may be even more formidable than it appears, much less as the powerful entities who've already taken notice of the 'Iron Prince of Galens' begin to make their moves, some casting their hands in his favor, others very much against…

Missing Chmilenko

I was so stoked to finally get this book, but I have to say I’m a bit let down. There’s just way too much teen drama throughout the entire book. I get that there were some elements and back stories that needed some attention, but it was a majority of the book. There was finally some depth and main story progression in the final chapters, but the rest seemed like filler. I noticed that Luke Chmilenko is not listed as an author on this book? They might want to pull him back in moving forward or I can see this going all ”Twilight” on us. Also, not Luke Daniel’s best work. I’ve listened to a lot of his performances before and I have to say this was my least favorite. He normally is outstanding and can make a bad story tolerable.
I’ll give book 3 a try ( in 2 years?), but that might be the end of the series for me if it continues on this path.

More please!!

More please, it's a good story with excellent quality performance. I hope the next book comes soon

high school drama

book 2 tried to hard to pull at heart strings and turn a 3rd of the book into a teenage drama. disappointing.

Loved it!

Loved the first book and the second didn’t disappoint. Did I wish more of the story was told yes, but I would not cut out any of the story we got. Can’t wait for book 3 and I hope the author gets to writing.

Amazing

The only real criticism is that we are 60+ hours into the series, and we haven't even finished his first year of schooling. so an overall bit of a pacing issue for me. I am waiting years for only 2 months to pass in terms of overall pacing.
