For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Publisher's Summary
Against all odds, Orah and Nathaniel have found the keep and revealed the truth about the darkness, initiating what they hoped would be a new age of enlightenment. But the people were more set in their ways than anticipated, and a faction of vicars whispered in their ears, urging a return to traditional ways.
Desperate to keep their movement alive, Orah and Nathaniel cross the ocean to seek the living descendants of the keepmasters' kin. Those they find on the distant shore are both more and less advanced than expected.
The seekers become caught between the two sides, and face the challenge of bringing them together to make a better world. The prize: a chance to bring home miracles and a more promising future for their people. But if they fail this time, they risk not a stoning but losing themselves in the twilight of a never-ending dream.
Be sure to start with the first book in this series, the multiple award-winning The Children of Darkness. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.

Truly amazing series!
This book is even better than the first & I loved it. I wasn't even finished with it when I went looking for book 3!
It's inventive, visionary, thought provoking, clean, sensitive..... and so much more.
All of the characters come to life before your eyes. You can picture everything perfectly.
I can't say enough good things about this series. I recommend it for any age.

Adventure, Enlightenment, and More
Orah and Nathaniel continue their truth-seeking after discovering the Keep and revealing the truth about the darkness to the folks in their small piece of the world. Now they are bound for the other side of the ocean to discover more and meet with the descendants of the Keep. Much like the home they left, there is a divide between the Greenies and the Machinists. Caught between two nearly warring factions, Orah and Nathaniel must bring them together and help bring forward movement there so they may increase awareness at home. Will they be enough to bring peace so they may continue to spread knowledge, truth, and hope?
David Litwack, the author, has cleverly built a world where truth is twisted and hidden. Amongst the people of this world trust is almost non-existent as well. Litwack consistently builds the premise that trust, and truth are achievable but at a cost. That cost, for some, is greater than for others. Litwack puts on display all of our human fallacies dealing with truth, trust, and even hope. He captures our fears and reactions vividly.
The narrator, Erin deWard gives a solid performance interjecting the right amount of emotion and inflection. Her delivery and timing are smooth. It is almost as if she has stepped into the story; the words flow seamlessly.
This is book two in a three-book series, I have the third one to hear shortly and I am looking forward to it. I am eager to see how successful Orah and Nathaniel are and what trouble Thomas, their childhood friend that remained behind finds himself.
This is an interesting series and one that will leave you pondering. Your mind will dwell on the meaning of truth, where it is and the differences between people. This is a great series – a definite listen!
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and well produced.

A good continuation
The story continues and, with the characters going to a whole new place, it still feels fresh. This one does feel a bit longer than the first but there are a lot of story elements to present. Things are revealed at a good pace and there are some interesting new characters introduced that you really get behind by the end. It made me want to hurry and listen too the last book in the series..

Great second book!
In this second installment of the series, Orah and Nathaniel are working hard to keep everything they’ve worked so hard for in motion. I loved the quest for knowledge in this book, and how critical the themes are for both our society and theirs. This was a great sequel, and kept me just as engaged as the first book. The writing style is really nice and seems to just flow without feeling like it’s stopping and starting. I also enjoyed the narration, and felt like it added to the story instead of so many narrators who seem to detract. I would highly recommend this book, but definitely read the first book before.

Orah and Nathaniel have found their way across the ocean and have found even more people pitted against each other. One advanced and one just beginning their journey. Can Orah and Nathaniel bring the sides together so they can become one, and can Orah and Nathaniel do it before the lose themselves to the dreamers in the never ending dream.
This is a great sequel to the first book The Children of Darkness, there is a lot of action, suspense, and so much emotion in this book it will keep you mesmerized until the end. The narrator Erin deWard brought this book to life for the listener as Orah, telling her story for all to hear. She is a awesome narrator making each character unique, I really can't wait for the next book.

Standing sequel
This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com.
I have read the first book in the series. The narrator was great as from the first novel. She speaks softly as Orah, which I felt was really in character, but some people may not like. She impresses me with her character voices. When they first met the mentor, for example, she sounds both frail and bursting with excitement, which is perfect for the character.
I felt the journey lost a bit of magic from the first story, but perhaps it's because of the characters. Orah and Nathaniel are no longer the naive children who trusted in the temple, and they see the world more realistically now. For example, in the beginning, orah is impressed by the "keep", but soon realizes it's not what she expected.

Exquisite Language & Prose Brilliant Sequel
What made the experience of listening to The Stuff of Stars the most enjoyable?
Erin deWard - her beautiful voice, the wonderful way she read the story. The story is already brilliant, with such wonderful language and dialogue, but the way Erin reads it, plus the fact she has such a beautiful voice herself, makes this ENTIRE series one of the best I have ever listened to. I could easily listen to it again, and happily listen to it when going to sleep as it is so relaxing to listen to at night time, between the fantastic story and Erin's exquisite voice.
Who was your favorite character and why?
There are a few to choose from, but Orah's continued search for the Truth, even when faced with so many trials, made me like her so much more. Her character is incredibly beautiful, not just her physical appearance, but in her mind. She is such an intelligent person, with so much passion, courage and strength.
What about Erin deWard’s performance did you like?
Many things, for starters, she has the most beautiful voice of any of the authors I have ever heard. Secondly, she reads incredibly well, very clearly and concisely, so you can understand her easily, without straining at all. She has a fantastic range of character voices, using good male and female voices. She uses decent sound effects as well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I never understand this question?
Given that most of these books are greater than 10hrs, and this would make it difficult.
Of course if I had the 11+ hours to
Any additional comments?
This is a wonderful series and a must listen (or read), but with Erin deWard's voice, reading is definitely the 2nd option.

Great addition to the series
Any additional comments?
Another well written, entertaining. engaging and very enjoyable installment to the seekers trilogy. This installment once again pulls you and weaves a interesting, complex yet simple story.
What happens to a world that has become to dependent on technology when that technology and the knowledge to understand/master it is no loner there.
Orah and Nathaniel have traveled across the ocean looking for the descendants of the Keepers. What they find is not what they expected.
The people Orah and Nathaniel find have divided themselves into separate groups. The Technos, mainly just children who are left, believe in machines. The dreamers, the adult Techno's trapped in dream state. The Greenies, believe in the land and shun technology. Orah and Nathaniel have come seeking help instead they find the people on this side of the ocean need just as much help from them in many ways as they were hoping to find when they started their journey.
They find that as with life on their side of the ocean, each group has their own ideas and strictly adherence to their beliefs. They have forgotten that they need each other and the balance that each group brings. They are too busy judging each other to see the value in each group.
Missed having the different POV's in this book. Really missed not having more of Thomas in this story. Love the creative and detailed descriptions of their world. Looking forward to the next book in the trilogy.
Erin deWard does another great job with the narration. Pleasant voice easy on the ears. Clearly spoken with a smooth even pace. Good singing voice. Good character voices. The narration is very good but struck me as being too soft and soothing for much of the story this time. She almost sounded like she was whispering sometimes. Much softer than in the first book in the series. I do have to say I prefer the narration in the first book better.

Compelling futuristic adventure brilliant
Book 2 made a bit more sense in this futuristic adventure I do hope there is going to be a loving end to the series but no telling yet.
Narration was very good
