Summary

Half a decade has passed since the ArcNosian Civil War. Nations have been rebuilt. Peace has been restored. And the Avatars of Fate have been deathly silent. 

No sooner are Sinkua and Eytea called back to ArcNos than the gears begin turning again. Money begins vanishing from ArcNos. Scandals threaten the new power structure. Sinkua ends up at the center of a debacle that threatens Galo's sovereignty. 

Old allies and new faces emerge as an anti-Avatar force called the Coalition. They've worked in secret for decades, but the time has come for their disclosure. Because two of them have their necks in the Avatars' nooses. 

Nikasu, the girl in the lab and a fifth Hybrid, needs to be rescued. A dichotomous man's very nature hinges on Vielle's decisions. Everyone is forced to reassess what they know about the Avatars, the Hybrids, and the foggily defined Epimetheus Trial. 

Suppressed memories and existential quandaries bring many to confront their past before they can face the future. And the Avatars' divide-and-conquer tactics threaten far more than alliances and friendships. 

Their campaign of chaos only begins in the Northlands.

A Great Sequel

I was eager to catch the second installment of this series and it really didn't disappoint. The story was much heavier than the first book with a lot more going on. There are many arcs that come together but in the moment, especially with the audio version, the book demands your attention otherwise you may miss out on some, what seem like minor plot details but actually contribute later in the book.

The story dives right into a fast pace and maintains it throughout the book. There are points where I feel as though we could have done with some breathing time - some moments where an event happens and the pace comes right back to allow it to sink in. However, considering the story unfolding it was justified to maintain the fast pace too. In some ways it maintained realism.

There's a huge amount of character development in this one and there's a lot you come away feeling satisfied with when you finish the book.

The narration, I really like Coles narration of the book. His voice fits the story perfectly and I wouldove him to continue the series as it (hopefully) progresses. This is one of the first series I've gotten into and looked forward to since joining Audible and I'm excited about the future of it. If I can note just one gripe with the narration (one I feel was highlighted especially in this book) it's that there isn't a whole lot of range in the different character voices. It is a nitpick but many of the characters sound very alike. That's not to say the narration isn't great though, just a minor gripe when listening.

Overall, I loved this installment and I look eagerly forward to the next! Keep up the great work guys!
