About this audiobook

In the second book of Django Wexler's epic fantasy trilogy about two siblings divided by magic and revolution, Gyre must travel across the Splinter Kingdoms to rally the rebels to his side, while his sister Maya uncovers the secrets of a powerful artifact that could change everything.

Gyre finally sees a way to overthrow the all-powerful Twilight Order. But he'll have to gain the alliance of both the ghouls and the human rebels to the south in order to even stand have a chance. And uniting them won't be so simple.

His sister Maya is still a soldier of the Order. But after clashing with her brother, she isn't so certain where her loyalties lie. Chasing the origins of a mysterious artifact to a long-lost library, she just might find the answers she's looking for.

Ratings and reviews

The book was delightful, nothing groundbreaking, but super well written, Characters have interactions like real people would, well described fears and goals and justifications for decisions made either good or bad. Narrator did a good job as well, she really swung for the fences on animating the voices, it might not be your style but in my opinion she knocked it out of the park.
