That aside, I yearn for the adventures that the characters are going to go on! To see the way Visidia grows! I would have loved to see more of the islands, magics, and lore but I think thatās always the case when world building is a solid, well thought out, and loved beast! Iām glad I read this duology but hands down the first one was my favorite! I appreciate that the author took the time and cared enough Ā to show Amoraās grieving process, but I didnāt particularly enjoy the ride. I did however, get choked up upon the resolution of her grief and the āmagical fix itā that presented itself. Iād recommend! ā¦so maybe Iāll return soon and increase my ratingā¦ because the frustration is probably only temporary due to my immersion in the story and characters.

Overall, a fine production that'll serve to get you through the story. As with most fantasy books, I always find it handy to have an audio pronouncing the foreign words, and this time is no different. No huge changes in the text, just a word added or dropped a couple times, probably in service to the flow. Still wish there were musical bits when its relevant to the story (like humming a shanty), but it's more uncommon to have them than not. So, maybe not one to hold up as a shining example of all that audiobooks could be, but a serviceable production that gets the job done and concludes the duology well.Ā
