A rogue shadow was tearing the city apart. I was the only thing standing in its way.
The streets were unraveling. Something was shredding through the city's defenses, and I was the last line before it reached everything else. The trail led somewhere I'd spent years avoiding. Back to the asylum. Back to the place I was born into darkness with no name and no past - and whatever had been waiting there for me ever since.
My magic was fraying. My will was down to a thread. And the thing living inside me, the one I'd spent years refusing to name, was done waiting to escape. Zombies clawing up from the ground. Old enemies closing ranks. A truth I'd dodged too long, coming at me from every direction.
This was the one that might not have a way out.

As the fourth book in a series, even with the major conclusion in the previous one, this book is not an ideal starting point for anyone considering this series and you would be far better off starting at the beginning as the series as a whole would make much more sense and the earlier books are equally enjoyable too.
The narrator does a good job overall, providing a suitably distinctive range of voices for the main cast to nicely enhance the writing and the drama of the story.
Overall, another strong entry in this series and I am looking forward to listening to the conclusion of it in book five.

It would seem that one policeman, Haskins, understands this complexity and is working with Morgan in coordinating attempts to stop the encroachment into the human world. In order to achieve this, certain people must first be tracked down. So we the readers follow Morgan as he moves from one dangerous scenario to another, sometimes accompanied by friend Samuel and Astrid, as he hides and backs his way through different adventures, all the while suppressing anger and trying to keep his Dark Other from becoming more than a rumble in his stomach.
In other words, I found it all a bit tedious and repetitious despite being well written and quite imaginative at times. Narration by Shawn Compton was good, his reading breathing a feel of excitement into the text and his voicing of the characters individual. Perhaps, had I read the preceding stories, I would have found myself involved with the characters and therefore enjoyed it more.
My thanks to the rights holder of Ender of Worlds, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary , via Audiobook Boom. Best advice: start with book one.
I bit the apple.
