Publisher's Summary

Koren Bladewell's future was stolen from him, by wizards who chose to lie, to conceal the fact that Koren is a wizard.

Crown princess Ariana Trehayme must find a way to become queen before her 16th birthday - before her indecisive mother allows all of Tarador to be conquered.

would recommend

great writting, amazing narrator. sure it wasn't impactuful as the first, but epic stories need the space to grow, and this book allowed for the main characters to grow and develop well. onto book three.

Middle Book Syndrome

This series certainly has me hooked, and the reader is fantastic. However, this book is definitely a "middle book". Many parts had me distracted with other things while listening; and although it was still a great listen and had it's exciting moments - it felt as though it was a means to an end to get to the next part of the story, without any real story of it's own. Still, I am quite enjoying the series! #Audible1

The world expands and more adventure

#Audible1 The story is simple but fun and enjoyable. I reveled in the adventure and thoroughly enjoyed the characters. As always great narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds, he is one of the best.

Exceptional. Couldn't stop listening.

I didn't think I would be as invested as I've become in Koren and Ariana's adventure! As always the narration is excellent, and the story is just so much fun! Pirates, bandits, epic battles what more could you ask for? Can't wait to start book 3.

This is the second book in the series there's three the first one is Ascendent and then this one and then book three which I'm headed to right now I was captivated every moment.

the narrator does a fantastic job love the characters they come alive I can feel them and take part with them, on their Journey forward. A great wizard fantasy book, having never a dull moment!

Good story

The performance by Reynolds is, as always, top notch. The book is good but not great. Alanson has better work with the Expeditionary Force Series.
I think what bothers me is that the major plot device is a misunderstanding that is perpetuated through a weak sense of obligation. It makes it seem a bit childish. Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the series and will pick up the sequel once it's released.
