Another fun book with another couple of twists!

I won't spoil it for you, but this was another fun novel. Looking forward to the third.

Enjoyed this second installment

I enjoyed listening to this second installment in the Empire of Bones Saga.

New adventures and not a rehash of events in the first novel--the story moves forward. A new threat, in addition to the Pale Ones. Plenty of action and a good measure of intrigue. My only minor concern was the focus on Princess Kelsey, learning to control and deal with her implants. It seemed to be too much of a focus in the early parts of the novel. It might be that I just enjoyed the storyline more when it focused on Commander Mertz.

The narrator again did a top job.

Looking forward to the next installment. In the mean time, I will listen to book 1 and 2 again.

Awesome Scifi, A Great Book 2

This was the second book and the series and just as good as the first. I really like this series and would recommend it to anyone. This book picks up right where the last left off.

In this book, not only do we get to learn more about the Pale Ones and where they came from, but the main characters also face a new threat from within the government of their new allies.

The narrator did just as well as the last book and definitely earned the 5 stars I gave her.

I requested and received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, publisher, or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. I was NOT required to write a positive review and this reflects my honest opinion of the work.

A well done Space Opera

Enjoyed the book! Worth the credit.

Loved It

Loved this book so much I’ve read it several times and each time it gets better! Audio narrator is pretty awesome too

Better than I had hoped!

I purchased the first book because I listen to the Dead Robot Society podcast. It captivated my attention and pulled me along better than expected.

When it was finished I HAD to find out what happened next. Veil of Shadows pulled me into the characters lives like I was adventuring long with them.

At the time of this review, book 3 isn't yet in audio. I will just have to read it myself imagining the superb voices that Veronica provided in her masterful performances.

I'll will be ordering the third book right away. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

I only had one issue with it, and it was small. Re

Any additional comments?

I have come to associate Mixon with some great character twists. He doesn't disappoint with this book. The problems from the first book, Empire of Bones, still linger in this novel, but things have developed and expanded to encompass even more of an amazing setting.

My only (small) gripe is that Princess Kelsey's adjustment to her new abilities seems mostly resolved a tiny bit too quickly for my taste. It's not a huge issue, but... I can't go into too much without giving spoilers. I'll just say that once there's a breakthrough, things got answered too fast for my taste. But otherwise, this book was phenomenal. I can't wait to read the next one!

A Truly Great SF Series

Would you listen to Veil of Shadows again? Why?

I love good science fiction with well developed characters and plot, this series is perfect.

What does Veronica Giguere bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Probably one of the most talented female narrators of our time.

Great

I really enjoyed Veil of Shadows. Great storyline and a fun listen. Veronica's performance was excellent.

Awesome story even if you don't love scifi

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes or loved scifi for sure. I am an occasional scifi reader and I can say the story was very well written. The plot lines and hooks keep you in the moment. There were a couple slower spots in the middle I spaced out on but all in all the book was full of action. Great read.
