Reflections: Cathedral Chronicles 2

Cathedral Chronicles: Prequel to In the Devil's Own Words

De: E.M.G. Wixley

Narrado por: Clive Johnson

Adair is a young journalist living in London. Overshadowing his childhood is the obsession his father, Doctor Brown, has with a medical conspiracy. Fearing for his life, the doctor flees to a remote Scottish island, leaving his two sons behind wondering whether their father is deluded, insane, or actually telling the truth.

Sophia is Adair’s childhood friend. At the age of 11, they become separated only to meet years later through the Internet. However, they are soon overcome by dark events and the horrific fracturing of their everyday lives.

Shadows creep and menacing events take place as together they seek to unravel the terrible secrets, which are being kept from humanity.

May be heard as a stand-alone.

Exciting!

In volume 2 Sophia is watching her niece and nephew who are kidnapped by an evil entity. The story exists between two worlds. It seems they are colliding as the author cleverly brings in new monsters and helpers.Sophia of course has to find them which takes her on the adventure of a lifetime, filled with action.
Like volume 1 there's many details to listen for. I was on vacation and driving when I started this book and got a bit distracted so I automatically set it back a chapter to relisten. i didn't want to miss anything. The story is fast paced and filled with suspense. It kept me on my toes and that's something I like in a book. I want to think while I'm reading or watching a movie. The world building is phenomenal and is written so well it seems real.
It's a great listen for anyone who loves fantasy, action and adventure. There's even a romance between Sophia and long time friend Adair. It packs a punch!

Definitely not a stand alone story

Its a good story with interesting characters. It leaves you hanging. Need to read the whole series in order to find out what happens.

A diabolical storyline that continues ..

This is the prequel to In The Devil's Own Words. This whole storyline is diabolical and reflects a battle between good and evil with many twists along the way. I look forward to seeing how it eventually ends!

Clive did a good job keeping it all together, which I imagine was a complicated task for him. He followed through on bringing the well developed characters to life really well.

A good series to get lost in...

Grim, like a gargoyle on a Cathedral

E.M.G. Wixley continues the tale that began in the Devil's own words, and plays out even darker than before. This reminds of a Dan Brown novel, but better because it isn't dealing with some dopey concept like Da Vinci leaving traces and clues that no one would find or understand for hundreds of years. The mystery and conspiracy here is palpable and is like a foggy London night when Jack the Ripper was on the loose. You'll be on your toes, keeping one eye over your shoulder, and the other one the story.

Wixely has a way with words that wraps you up in their detail, honestly, I think this was a highly researched novel, as it feels like EMG has been to the places described herein. The book is pretty dark, and the protagonists really struggle to keep themselves together, alive, and on point and their dilemma is fascinating to behold. Dark, grim, and gritty doesn't accurately describe the situation that they find themselves in, and you will not want to put the book down for fear of what might happen next.

There were some audible issues last book that were fixed, and none of that is found here. Johnson handles the story and the characters well, although he doesn't seem as polished or adept as other narrators I've heard. I think he still needs to get his narrating legs a bit more, but have no doubt that he will improve.

This series is really picking up and it is pulling me in more and more. I cannot wait for the next thig Wixely releases.

dark and good as the first one
