Great original story!

I loved the Night Angel triology, WoT, GoT, LoR, and Blood Song.... this series stands with them.

Great story, the authors reading has improved

in the first story house of blades the authors reading was very fast. The pace has slowed down considerably and more personality has been given to each character.

Will Wight Delivers again!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Crimson Vault to be better than the print version?

I'm dyslexic so i have trouble reading. That being said, the audio book is read by the author... so you will always get the proper tone and meaning with the words that are said.

What other book might you compare The Crimson Vault to and why?

Comparing it to the first book, it is even better. I gave the first book 5/5 because it was well earned. This book takes everything from the first one and expands on it. You don't just dive into a world and get a birds eye view, you get to stand in it with the characters and experience the chaos of a real world.

Have you listened to any of Will Wight’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. It is wonderful to hear an author bring life to their own work in a way that only they can.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to all 10(or so) hours in a row. Three times. The story is so enjoyable it leaves you thirsting for more. Any time i had to pause it for a moment or so was agony.

Any additional comments?

Will has produced another wonderful story. I can't wait for the final book to come out and i hope it is soon!

One of my favorite series, getting even better!

This is book to in the Travelers Gate trilogy, and really is an excellent addition to the series. A lot of second of three books are just placeholders, but not this one. This very definitely move the story along and advances the character's growth.Simon and Leah both have great character growth, and there are some major changes for a lot of the other characters, too. There is also a lot of the backstory for the other Valinhall Travelers filled in in a series of flashbacks. The plotting is fast paced, the battles are extremely well done and action packed, and you can really sympathize with the characters. There is also a lot more magic used in this one, really showcasing a lot more of what each terrritory brings to the table as far as magic. I think this is a uniquee kind of series, playing against tropes, but if anything in style is close, it's Brandon Sanderson's work. Will Wight self narrated this, and he has gotten better over the course of the two books so far, really gaining in confidence as a narrator. I recommend this book and series to any fan of Brandon Sanderson, you wont be disappointed.

perfection

great from start to finish. waiting for next audiobook! a hidden gem I wasn't expecting.

Good story, characters, and world.

The story is well done with fleshed out characters. The world is unique in its rules of magic/powers, but familiar enough that you don't have a problem understanding how they work.

Where I found the book lacking was in the narrator's performance. He doesn't have a large variety of distinct voice types for characters. That said, he still did a good job of proper tone and timing in the narration.

So awesome!

can't wait for more. This is by far my favorite author, he is sitting up there with Sanderson for me.

Great series

What did you love best about The Crimson Vault?

HOw the story gos you dont have power that makes you go from starting off and even so working hard makes you grow i look forward to Simon to grow stronger but wish that they would release the next one im so looking forward to it. this is my first to hear from here and i wish to hear many more now that im quite happy with what was given. if the next does not be released i will no longer need it

probably better then the first

started flushing out the other territories. great action scenes too. only gripe is that very little additional time was spent exploring valenhall.

Please hurry up and finish city of light!

Where does The Crimson Vault rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have absolutely loved this series thus far. There is an interesting magic system, all of the sarcasm we love and having the author himself be capable of doing the audiobooks has been a great experience as well and I think that it adds a new element of clarity overall. Like the title of the comment says, Will please hurry up and finish your next audio book! I know my family and I are anxiously awaiting it.

Another excellent read. Full of action scenes galore.

The second instalment of "The travellers gate trilogy " was just as good as "The house of blades ". With a suitable twist in the plot. Growth in characters, and excellent action scenes. I would suggest this to any Fanta sea enthusiasts who is into, epic battles, swordfights, and more. The author wants more does an excellent job of narrating The novel and bringing the characters to life through his voice. If the third novel is anything like the second, can't wait to have it in my library.
