Red Skies Falling

By: Alex London

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley, Michael Crouch

This program includes a bonus conversation with the author.

In Red Skies Falling, Alex London's thrilling sequel to Black Wings Beating, the epic fantasy Skybound Saga continues as twins Kylee and Brysen are separated by the expanse of Uztar, but are preparing for the same war - or so they think.

Kylee is ensconsed in the Sky Castle, training with Mem Uku to master the Hollow Tongue and the Ghost Eagle. But political intrigue abounds and court drama seems to seep through the castle's stones like blood from a broken feather. Meanwhile, Brysen is still in the Six Villages, preparing for an attack by the Kartami. The Villages have become Uztar's first line of defense, and refugees are flooding in from the plains. But their arrival lays bare the villagers' darkest instincts. As Brysen navigates the growing turmoil, he must also grapple with a newfound gift, a burgeoning crush on a mysterious boy, and a shocking betrayal.

The two will meet again on the battlefield, fighting the same war from different sides. But the Ghost Eagle has its own plans.

My Search For An AroAce MC Has Finally Ceased

There is literally nothing I can think of that the book was lacking, and the execution of everything is phenomenal. You can really hear the emotion in the narrators’ voices which really makes it even more of an immersive performance and I definitely think they deserve a lot of credit for really good narration—and I mean that for both of them.
Alex London is such a funny and charming guy which shows in his writing, and I’ve unknowingly read his other books before; he’s an author that can write real versatile stories.

I was ecstatic upon finding out that Kylee (the protagonist) was aroace which is something I’ve NEVER seen before, and I am endlessly thankful for finally finding a mc that I can truly identify with. If you’re like me and have been seeking out queer characters whose identity is displayed as casual and there’s more to the plot than just the fact that they’re gay, READ THIS BOOK. It was refreshing :)

Better then the first!

I really feel like that even though the first book was great, this book is even more fantastic! The stakes are raised even higher, the action is so hype, the drama and romance are incredible, and I can’t wait to read book three!

Extremely good book

The book is very detail, you can imagine the scenery and what happening with ease. The book in my opinion felt like watching a Netflix series that you can’t stop watching.

An interesting sequel

An interesting sequel that sees war, budding romance, and new world building information, but also seems in a sense a little underwhelming. The first book seemed fast, and this one is also, in some ways, fast, but leaves me curious how the last book is going to play out given the ending. I do find myself hoping for Bryson and Jowyn.
