Captivating!

Brent Weeks has a way of sucking me into his world. I couldn’t stop listening.

Breath taking

Amazing story, gripping to the core. You laugh, you cry, You’re just not the same after reading this.

Just gets better

this is a very good sequel. the first book is also good but suffers from a bit too much emphasis on edginess that borders unbelievability there is a good way to do this and the second book succeeds in that way.

4 star story, 3 star narration.

This is the middle book, so I'm assuming you've read enough of Brent Weeks to know that he is a phenomenal author. The content of the book is wonderful (except for Elene being an idiot, but there are excuses for that in the plot). I've listened in the past to Simon Vance, and think he's a talented narrator, but I hate one big thing he does in this book; When the narrator shortens Viridiana, he pronounces her name as "Vie".

Brent Weeks was in his bag!

2nd books in series are usually my favorite and this one stood up to that. Amazing job by Brent Weeks really expanding on the story and the characters. Really enjoyed this book. Narrator was class as well.
