About this listen
Some truths are dangerous, certain secrets best concealed, and one story never should have been written at all.
Being an unwanted twin in the Imperial line of succession, Farilane became a scholar, adventurer, and in a time when reading was once more forbidden—a book hunter. Her singular obsession is finding the mythical Book of Brin, a tome not just lost but intentionally buried. Respected and beloved by the Teshlor Knights, not even their legendary skills can protect her for what she finds is more dangerous than what she sought.
From the three-time New York Times best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan, Farilane is the second novel in the Rise and Fall trilogy. This latest set of stories sits snugly between Legends of the First Empire and the Riyria books (Revelations and Chronicles). With this tale, Michael continues his tradition of unlikely heroes who must rise to the call when history knocks, demanding to be let in. This series will conclude in the summer of 2023 with the release of Esrahaddon, the final piece in a narrative that began in 2008 and contains 19 full-length novels spread across four series.

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Young Cally is an apprentice within the most unusual order of sorcerers in the known world: the only one that forbids its members from using their powers to kill. Despite his lowly status, Cally's chosen by the Master of the Order to join a delegation to see their allies the Lannovians. The meeting will be historic: 60 years ago, the Order's enemies attacked them with a host of demons, forcing the Order to trap the monsters inside their own citadel and seal it shut with impenetrable wards. The trick worked so well the Order hasn't been able to get it back open since.

The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them.

wasn't expecting to cry my face off.
I got into this series(serireses?) starting with age of myth. I did not think I'd get to his book and be so invested that I end up sobbing, but that's where I ended up last night. Absolutely wonderful book.

Great Read
I really enjoyed this book. I do want to point out that this is the least stand alone book in the series. The motives of the characters and significance of the plot points, lack poignancy if read without the context of the earlier books.

a must read
This installment in the series is unique from all the others. It stands alone in every way. I never imagined I would fall in love with the series again, especially since I feel I never fell out of love with it in the first place. I would go as far to say that this is the best of MJS and I will definitely be re-reading/ listening to this novel. I encourage anyone reading it to start with the "Legends of the First Empire" series and move onto the rise and fall. I'm looking forward to the final book in the series and I only hope that this passion and mastery of the craft is continued on in Esrahddon. 11/10!

It was AMAZING!!!!! Michael this was the best one in the series. I had to pause and listen to the afterword in a day. 😂
If it is the first one of the series you’re going to read, STOP!!!! Go to the beginning - either from legends of the first empire or even the release order - read those learn the stories and know the characters. It won’t have the same impact.
Tim’s performance is implacable as always!

My goodness I did not expect to have my heart broken.
I do wish I got into this entire storyline and listened to it in a different order. I think it would have made everything different and left me with more unknowns as I progressed. HOWEVER that in no way takes away from all of these series of books, and the author did a great job in writing it in a way which does not require you follow any necessary listening order. This book was wonderful I have found characters that I actually need to stop the book for a while and walk away because they irritate me, but that just means that again the author wrote them well.... this felt a little different than the other books but still well worth the read. I found myself crying at the end and I'm still sad thinking about it.
