Story
A lot had changed in "The Holy Sky" School during the six weeks that Hadjar Darkhan was away. Everyone who was in the capital at the time became much stronger, thanks to the regular skirmishes along the Imperial road. By the emperor's decree, all the disciples of the Imperial martial arts schools were allowed to visit the infamous and highly coveted Wastelands. "The Holy Sky's" disciples were especially fortunate - they'd been given a two-week head start to find the map leading to Emperor Decater's tomb, as well as the key that would allow them to enter his chambers.

Half a millennium ago, in a desperate attempt to defeat the Ithonian Empire, Kanderon Crux and her allies banished the city of Imperial Ithos from Anastis. Her dread weapon, the Exile Splinter, even erased the memory of its location from the universe. Now it's returning and bringing the Exile Splinter back with it. The great powers of the continent are desperately hunting for the lost city, knowledge lost even to Kanderon herself. None know what ancient Ithonian weapons and enchantments might still be found in the ruins, but the Exile Splinter alone would be a prize to justify war.

Though the practice of the current day is timid and uninspired, Will needs the knowledge that’s preserved and managed by the college. At every turn he finds that sorcery is supreme, while wizards are trained merely to assist and support those who hold the real power - a power based on an evil so deep that few who are living know the truth of its foundation.

Just keeps getting better!
Shami has created a second book to rival the first in the series. Hence, we see much more character development, world building, and powerful enemies both new and old. I particularly enjoyed learning about how and why the magic ecosystem worked the way it does. Brian Wiggins continues to master the narration and deliver a powerful performance! Throw in some realistic teenage problems and issues, and lessons learned, and you have a thrilling and engaging book you can't stop listening too. I must admit I found myself driving extra around the block to so I could finish a chapter.

This book was amazing as was the narration. I loved the first but the sequel was even better! The narration was so good that when the gargoyle talked, I was scared in the middle of a bright sunny day. I can’t wait for the third book.

Great addition to the series
After listening to the first book in this series I was really looking forward to continuing the series, and the 2nd book didn't disappoint. Once again Shami Stovall has captured the magical and thrill of this world through the adventures of being an Arcanist.
The narration was once again fantastic and did a great job at capturing the individual personalities of each character.
This series has now become one of my favorite fantasy books to listen to and I'll definitely be listening to it again in the future.

Pfft this book was great
This book had almost none of the problems the first book had and was just as compelling. You can actually see Shami improving as an author from the first book to this book.
This book is full of character development and fleshing out backstories, each of the characters gets a little more real, and a little more likable. Some of Volke and Illia's behavior drive me nuts. The romantic subplot is done well enough, but still infuriating in the way watching children trying to figure out romance is bound to be.
The adventure was great, pirate hunting, treasure seeking, running for their lives all very exciting stuff. This crew of junior Arcanists keeps throwing themselves into the mix with stupidly over powered enemies and barely surviving.

While this series is rated YA it’s well written enough that it’s enjoyable for those quite a bit older
