City in the Clouds

Rise of Kers, Book 2

De: Daniel Weber

Narrado por: Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays, Annie Ellicott, Dorrie Sacks

Despite his victory against the Guild, Kers soon learns that there is now an even greater target upon his cloudy back.
Typical.

Then there’s the small matter of Marwan, the Dark Lord who wants to take over the world, and the Jade Citadel sortie that is on the verge of collapsing. Not to mention the fact that he now has to ‘get along’ with his neighboring core and deal with a mysterious orca-like monster that has started flying nearby…

Oh, and he also has a new floor to generate and fill with fresh challenges and mobs. Yes, creepy dolls that wear your friends’ faces will be included. Also, mastodons.

Will Kers learn to fly and save those who plumb his… erm, heights? Or will he crash and burn, a victim of those he cares for?

Two things are certain; Selena will get her pizza and Kers will only get weirder.

awesome

story was deducted a star because it ended on a cliffhanger...

great book that builds upo. everything in book 1.
if you liked that, get this asap

SBT actually improved their performance from the first book...
among other things vex is now a little easier to understand while remaining the same little firecracker

Sound booth blew down the doors

I like this series a lot but the performance was legendary.
I can’t wait for an epic conclusion in the next book.

Better than the first.

I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of the books in this series. I was not previously familiar with this author or series myself. I downloaded these books about a week ago and have already finished both of them. I find myself absolutely loving this series and the way that things have been coming together.

I'm not entirely sure how they managed it, but SBT is exemplifying the beauty of their craft even more than usual here. The voices and sound effects used flow quite seamlessly with one another; creating a truly vibrant and enthralling listening experience.

The quality of the writing is also on evident display here. This world has obviously had a fair amount of time and planning put forth into its creation and building; which is only backed up by a rather well executed and intriguing web of plot lines.

I believe I'll find myself waiting on rather baited breath for the next installment in this quite delightful series.

Why Is There A Cliff?

It’s ok, definitely enjoyed other books in the genre more. Was a bit surprised while listening to the epilogue that there might be a third series thought this was the last in the series. But what I don’t enjoy about this book is due to the epilogue it ends on a cliff hanger….

Good transitions with interesting characters

It's a good transition with some good characters and shows great promise for the next book. It's interesting that they go from the main character to exploring more of the side, characters and dealing with the enemy

Significant Audio Quality Drop

I don't know what happened, but this second book has a big change in audio quality. I listened to book 1 & 2 back to back and it's a very obvious change. The narrator sounds slightly garbled and like there's a blanket between him and the mic. Then, there's a lot of cut-ins and a post recorded audio that was added later where the sound doesn't match the original main narration audio at all, which makes it stick out a lot and the cut-ins happen all the time in almost every chapter.

Removed two stars for the production quality alone.

Story was great, narration was good-ish except for the production aspect. Not sure who's to blame for that.

The fairy got worse... but the story is still enjoyable

Medusa and Selena were pretty obnoxious both were just disrespectful and took no consequences for the behavior. Selena needs a rewrite, she really throws me out of my enjoyment every time she berates or whines at Kers.

only a few chapters in but had to grab the first

I was gifted a code to review and the characters hooked me fast enough to grab the first book so I could listen to the entire story.

great

this was a excellent sequel to the first, and I can't wait to read, and listen to the third

So unpredictable

This book was so good. There was so much unpredictability and I can’t wait until the next one. The narration was phenomenal and I love this series. I highly recommend it.
