Untolled

The Saga of the Nothing Mage, Book 2

By: J. P. Valentine

Narrated by: Spencer Dillehay

"He came aboard a broken ship,

To Lethis on the waves,

With lies and tricks and evil spells,

Their future, he would pave.

Beware, oh King, the nothing mage,

A force that pierces all,

The golden bell that sings of death,

‘Till lords and empires fall.

In silent dark, in dead of night,

He came in from the cold,

And through their screams and dying gasps,

The bell remained untolled."

At long last, Declan and his companions have arrived at the floating city of Lethis. Safely in neutral territory, the mages can continue their studies and even compete in the legendary Lethian Tournament. That is, until an unwelcome guest disrupts the competition, and Declan finds himself dragged beneath the dark waves and into a world of mystery and fate.

War has come to the denizens of Teralia, and the nothing mage is no exception.

Like the series so far

Book 2 was better than book one. Looking forward to the third book. The narration has been great.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Improved Storyline

This second book in the series was better than the first one. I enjoyed this story so much more. I saw some character growth in the protagonist which I felt was lacking in the first book. The story itself had more twists and was faster paced. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend this series to others who like this genre, but there are some instances where coarse language is used. Spencer Dillehay is an awesome narrator and his narration adds to the story's entertainment. I requested this audiobook from Audiobooks Unleashed and I have voluntarily left this review.

Poltics, More Politics, and Propaganda

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book.~

The sequel delves into a more ominous atmosphere compared to its predecessor. It skillfully intertwines elements of magic and politics, involving kings, tower leaders, and the pervasive influence of propaganda.

While the pacing lacks the seamless flow of the first book, the narrative offers realistic portrayals of characters grappling with the traumas of war and death.

For those who enjoyed the initial installment, this follow-up is likely to leave you satisfied. Numerous plot threads are still awaiting resolution, creating anticipation for the third book.

Spencer Dillehay's narration is a highlight, delivering an excellent performance that is both engaging and easy to listen to.

slow

The book itself is really for teens but I couldn't let mine listen to it in the car mainly because of so many F-bombs. the cursing doesn't add any value to the book nor does it flow with God's damn or
