Publisher's Summary

Corin Cadence finally has a firm reason to believe his brother, Tristan, is still alive. Unfortunately, finding more information isn’t going to be easy. Tristan appears to be entangled with a clandestine organization that calls themselves Whispers. And Corin’s last brush with the Whispers didn’t exactly end well.

As much as he wants to follow that lead, Corin has more pressing problems to deal with. Sera is still suffering from a mysterious malady that has stolen her voice and her magic. Corin knows that a portion of that is his fault, and he’s determined to fix it. His mother is still off in another country, and there are growing odds that she’s involved with a conspiracy to overthrow the visages.

Corin has also been branded with a new magical mark on his right hand - one that even veteran climbers don’t seem to recognize. He’s going to need to figure out how it works, otherwise it could be more of a vulnerability than an asset.

Corin still hasn’t finished his first year at Lorian Heights. If he fails his final exams, he’ll be sent off to the military and lose his chance to investigate his brother’s fate. And finally, there’s the issue of enemies. He might have made a few of them.

The biggest problem? He’s not sure if Jin, once one of his closest companions, is one of them.

great performance

The number of times I had to stop and say I loved one character or another was truly impressive. I was engaged the entire way through and am captivated by the world building

Stick with it

The action comes in fits and spurts that are a bit too spaced out in the first third of the book. Lots of details on the magic system and enchanting/crafting that can be a bit of a grind at times. The action and storyline take off in the last half of the book. New enjoyable characters added. In the end, I liked this book even better than the first.

A bit slow at the beginning but really good overall

I like the pacing. They just come back from a big adventure from book one. They need to rest a bit before jumping to the big adventure. Lots of explanations on the magic system (I love it!!) and I thought that Cardin made more sense in his motivation the on the first book where he felt like a kid dreaming.

Overall superb. And the narrator is doing an amazing job!!

Different

Its a good story and I'll definitely buy the next book whenever its out. Magic does get stretched for the convenience of the characters, but the exploration of magic system itself is very well done.

Amazing follow up!

This is the first review I've written, but I cannot praise this book enough. If you read the first one (Sufficiently Advanced Magic) then you already know what you're getting into: well developed characters, on the edge of your seat story, and the most important aspect, the ability to keep me engaged. A huge pet peeve of mine is when you (the reader) is smarter than the author/character. Andrew Rowe stays true to his own characters and treats them with respect: being able to outmaneuver their situations with tact and guile. I'm just sad that I will have to wait a while to continue Corin's story.

Fun!

loved the book. Can't wait for part 3! I read the 1st book and listened to the 2nd. If I read the 3rd all I will hear in my head is Nick podel's glorious voice for Corin Cadence and the rest.
