The Way into Magic

The Great Way, Book 2

By: Harry Connolly

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

Having lost the prince to the madness of The Blessing, Tejohn and Cazia are the only people who know of his plan to retrieve a secret spell that might - just might - turn the tide of battle against the grunts.

But Tejohn's body is broken, and Cazia has been stripped of her magic. Worse, both are being held captive: Tejohn faces charges of treason in the lands where he was born. On the other side of the continent, Cazia is a prisoner of the Tilkilit queen, a creature with a desperate, deadly plan.

While they struggle for their freedom, The Blessing continues to spread across Kal-Maddum, their numbers growing more numerous as the human population shrinks. What had started as a race to restore an empire has quickly become a mission to save humanity from extinction.

Harry Connolly's first book, Child of Fire, was listed in Publishers Weekly's Best 100 Books of 2009.

fantastic and addicting

loved it. the characters have depth and the plot draws you in. well worth the read.

Too short!

The world and characters are great. They realy should be making some guesses and trying experiments by now. The waiting for them to start i ad getting frustrating. This book was just starting to get good when it ended.

Can't wait to see what happens next!

Great building of the sense of peril facing the protagonists. At this point, I don't see how they will possibly overcome it. That is rare when reading or listening to this genre. So many, try as they might to avoid it, fall into a similar formula, although some tell the story better than others. This author has not avoided all of the tropes, but his plot is based on one element that is unique enough that I hardly noticed, and the characters that represented them were believable enough to carry the story along without distraction. I finished this book in a day and a half!

Then, of course, if I am ever on the fence about trying an author I do not know, and the description does not grab me, seeing that Michael Kramer is narrating it makes it a "no" brainer." He's that good.

give us the way into darkness already

I loved all the moving parts in this story. big fan of Harry Connolly's work

I listened in two sittings it was so captivating.

This was a great and captivating book. It took two sittings to finish. Still not fond of stopping a story just when things are heating up but now I wait for the third book with much anticipation. Narration was great as always with Michael Kramer. I think the story is up there with some of the greats I have read of the years. Much like a Sanderson tale but with less plots to remember. Not sure how to explain it fully.
I recommend this book to any fantasy readers.
Good work....
