The Severed Realm

The Riven Gates, Book 2

By: Michael G. Manning

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

Only a fool threatens those a Thornbear protects.

Mordecai’s shattered family is in chaos, but the world won’t wait for them to recover. Trapped by a fiendish plot he didn’t foresee, Mordecai finds himself powerless to redeem himself or defend his family.

Alone and surrounded by enemies, Lady Rose has only her wits to protect those she loves. Though every hand turns against her, Rose Thornbear refuses to give up, and she will sacrifice whatever is necessary to save Penny’s family, whether the price is her rank, dignity, or even her life.

A great read

I have both read and listen to the audible Pro-Formance I was impressed by he character development throughout the story line the old flicker of a flame came to life well! can’t wait till the next book comes out!

a great addition

I was extremely pleased with this addition to the series. it opens up the story to another great adventure. Manning has woven a tale I can't image someone not enjoying.

Excellent!

As always, Manning delivers the best in epic fantasy. His world building is easily comparable to GRRM and his characters are down to earth, realistic people, warts and all! It's rare in this genre to find dialogue that reflects the rhythm of true speech- foul language not withstanding- and I appreciated that, especially in characters like Chad Grayson!

This is a true must read! if you haven't started this series yet- get to it! You will kick yourselves if you pass it up.

Another amazing work!

This book was very good and had everything you could hope for. Laughs, sadness, tears, disbelief, excitement, anticipation. Hard to stop listening to once started. This book is worthy of no less than 5 stars, but if I could give it more I would.

I enjoyed it.

This was a fun listen. However, it seems like the author made Tyrion made worse for the sake of the story. As a character, Tyrion has more going on for him than Mordecai. In order to bridge that gap, the author is de-evolving Tyrion to make up for the lack of character that is Mordecai.
