Summary
Return to Caledan for the fast paced sequel to The Tainted Crown that fans of The Lord of the Rings, Inheritance Cycle and Books of Pellinor will love.
Where is the line between good and evil?
The semblance of peace has returned to Caledan, but surrounded by the 12 noble houses of Caledan, King Soren can trust few. In the shadows, treasonous thoughts grow. When news of Zaki’s presence in Roher reaches Soren, can he ally all of Caledan to his cause - and keep them?
Zaki has not given up on his plans to regain Caledan’s throne. First he must prove himself to Harad, the mighty king of Roher, but Zaki will stop at nothing to gain the support of Roher’s army, march on Caledan’s borders, and take back the throne of the dragon kings.
War returns to Caledan, but a greater threat looms. The pact is broken. The Eldarkind are fading. The dragons war amongst themselves. A power too terrible to name grows in the North, and He seeks revenge. Only Eve stands in His way - but can she stop magic as old as time?
Peace balances upon a knife edge. Can Soren and Eve save Caledan?

Solid follow-up
This book worked fairly well for me, the main baddie was a bit less of a caricature and the main female character continued to be interesting, but the main male character still doesn't interest me enough and his storyline feels like it occupies a larger proportion of the book than he merits.
The narrator puts in another strong performance that enhances the book with a varied and distinctive range of voices for all the main and supporting characters.
Overall, this is a solid second book in this series, but probably didn't increase my interest in the series beyond the level it already was after the enjoyable first book.

Excellent!
I loved this book even more than the first part, and yet again I listened to it in one go.
The story is well thought out, the characters feel alive and I really enjoyed the voice acting by Jack Voraces.
I can't wait for the next one.

A second start
This book feels like the true start of the story with the benefit that you are already familiair with the characters. The story itself focuses more heavily on politics and statecraft than on raw adventure and you can feel the weight behind the decisions being taken.

My Honest Review
this book continues from directly after book one, It again is filled with action as it progresses the storylines of the characters, but it is in all a filler book, preparing everyone for the final installment, Zaki, Eve and Soren each have their own trials and hardships to deal with and little character development.
it is an enjoyable read and does leave me wanting to move straight onto book three to see how this will end, I recommend giving it a try ☺
