Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, enjoying what was left to them by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the error of their ways and realize a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennia - elves are superior! They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical world in a way that man could never grasp. Illian is their birthright. The six kingdoms of man are fractured, unallied and always clawing at each other's doors for more power.

Twenty-eight florins a month is a huge price to pay for a man to stand between you and the Wild. Twenty-eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder. It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.

Great additions to Thorn's crew & more surprises!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I had a gripe with the pacing of the narrator in book 1, but it's much better with Color of Vengeance. He stays consistent in giving different voices to all the characters.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jacob, by far. New to this book, he brings raw power and a touch of insanity to a book full of (already) crazy characters. He knows what he's doing when he's killing, he just has an odd viewpoint. Best part of the book was wondering how anyone would be able to stop him!
Which character – as performed by Gerard Doyle – was your favorite?
Doyle gives Anders the perfect performance of a drunk member of the nobility - with all the aloofness and attitude
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
They took the Black Thorn's eye, but not his killing spirit ~
Any additional comments?
Finally a series where I enjoyed how the author was able to change up many of the characters and locations, but keep the plot moving, surprising, and interesting.

Very Suprising
Fantastic sequel to the Heresy Within. At first I was a bit leery because Thanquil and Jezzet, the main heroes in the first book, are noticeably absent. Instead, this installment focuses primarily of the least likable hero, the Black Thorn.
After a horrible maiming, Betrim escapes his captors and returns to the Wilds to avenge himself and his friends that he believes dead. Along the way, he hooks back up with some of his old crew from the first book as well as a drunken nobleman named Anders, who is seriously enjoyable. Meanwhile, a frighteningly badass Arbiter has been dispatched to kill the Black Thorn.
However, even with the loss of my two favorite heroes from Book 1, The Color of Vengeance ended up being even better than the first. We meet many new and interesting characters as well as expand on old ones.
I look forward to Book 3.
