About this listen

Tom Perkinje, the reluctant Greater Demon and recent transplant from Harding, New Jersey, to the Abyss, has defeated and captured the not-so-valiant Sir Talarius, Knight Rampant of Tiernon, and has humiliated and demoralized the army known as the Rod of Tiernon. Unfortunately, to do so, he had to hack the mana streams between the god Tiernon and his High Priests, and now his buddies are telling him that Tiernon is going to send a Host to investigate this unprecedented event. Oh, and the fact that he reversed a Holy Artifact of Tiernon has not gone unnoticed, either. The folks upstairs are not pleased. His actions have completely disrupted the plans of not only the Rod of Tiernon but also the Sky Fleet of Oorstemoth, who had thought to bring Tom to justice for illegally destroying the ship trying to obliterate Tom and his friends. The two armies are now looking to unite and rescue Talarius and arrest Tom (permanently). Of course, there are also the three Arch Demons trying to steal a book that Lenamare, Tom's Accursed Master, stole from Oorstemoth, and whose demon horde had been infesting the wizard city of Freehold.

The book is great. It continues the story of book 1 well and really adds to the world, makes it grander and far more interesting.

A great follow up

Just like the first book in J.L. Langland's Demons of Astlan series this was a fun YA coming of age fantasy. The world is a fun one. The story is light and enjoyable and the characters are fairly easy to root for. Some are a little crazy but they are demons so what can one really expect!

The world is not particularly original as it takes ideas from everything like myths to modern TV shows but Langland makes that work as this is a ton of fun as all the crazy parts come together in an enjoyable way! It helps that this is not a story that takes itself too seriously. It is light fun adventure with cool magic and jam packed with all sorts of supernatural creatures.

The story was a lot of fun. Tom remained a likeable lead character and all the other POV's we got enhanced the story. It is always fun to see how Tom's bumbling actions manage to upset things in multiple planes of existence! Only the Jen and Gastrophe story arc was a little slow as they get separated from Tom and sent on their own adventures. The rest of the happenings were quite engaging.

This clocked in at around 28 hours on audio so it is a real credit to the story that it kept me engaged from start to finish.

Stephen Bel Davies did a good job with the audio. He got the tone of the story and did a good job with the character voices.

More Fun Demonic Antics!

Another interesting story and like the previous book the characters are self important idiots who think they are the good guys and everything and everyone else are bad. Really enjoyable.

speculation and paranoia rules over all.
