Corin Cadence finally has a firm reason to believe his brother, Tristan, is still alive.

Unfortunately, finding more information isn’t going to be easy. Tristan appears to be entangled with a clandestine organization that calls themselves Whispers. And Corin’s last brush with the Whispers didn’t exactly end well.

As much as he wants to follow that lead, Corin has more pressing problems to deal with.

Sera is still suffering from a mysterious malady that has stolen her voice and her magic. Corin knows that a portion of that is his fault, and he’s determined to fix it.

His mother is still off in another country, and there are growing odds that she’s involved with a conspiracy to overthrow the visages.

Corin has also been branded with a new magical mark on his right hand — one that even veteran climbers don’t seem to recognize. He’s going to need to figure out how it works, otherwise it could be more of a vulnerability than an asset.

Corin still hasn’t finished his first year at Lorian Heights. If he fails his final exams, he’ll be sent off to the military, and lose his chance to investigate his brother’s fate.

And finally, there’s the issue of enemies.

He might have made a few of them.

The biggest problem?

He’s not sure if Jin, once one of his closest companions, is one of them.

Why?

December 22, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really liked the first book. I bought this one the day after it came out figuring it had to be at least the same style of book. I couldnt have been more wrong and did not finish reading. Mostly because of the author's agenda. I dont want to read anything about sexual preference. Why cant the book focus on world building, the magic system, and character development? I wanted more discovery. Also in the first book the MC's main motivation was finding his bother. I think loosing that motivation in the first book was a bad idea. seems like the MC is now directionless.

Dive back into magic systems, dungeons, spires, magic classes and tests.

October 9, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Much like Sufficiently Advanced Magic for me this hit just about all the right notes, though I think it definitely has a very defined audience, this one splendidly catered to it's niche audience instead of trying to be more generic. People that didn't like the first probably really won't like this one, meanwhile for people who did enjoy the first this really digs in a lot deeper into the main narrative points of the previous. I also had enjoyed the characters in Sufficiently Advanced Magic, but the characters here were even better fleshed out and felt like they had depth.

The pace early on was quite slow, as usually can happen with a 2nd in series since it's got an established readership, but this book really made it work by jumping satisfyingly right in on the heart of the epilogue cliffhanger from the previous book and keeping that at the forefront while also taking it's time (a lot of time) doing a deep dive in magic theory.

Farther along the way we also get back into dungeons and spires, magic classes and tests as the class year is winding down, along with lighter topics of Corin's socialization, and heftier topics of politics. However, I loved that we spent the bulk of the time focused on Corin theorizing and testing ideas, being inside his head, that's really what makes this series a true gem.

Wish it was in hardcover

Love this book. It was even better than Sufficiently Advanced Magic. Can’t wait for the next one. The story development was solid, character relationships were interesting, magic system further developed, and the history was further explained. It leaves you wanting more. I consistently went to be later than I wanted to because each chapter was better than the last and I just had to keep turning the next page. Highly recommend. I wish there was an option to buy in hardcover as the book is around 700 pages and the paperback spine can become damaged quickly from such a heavy book

My rant, some tiny spoilers nothing that would hurt the story

September 6, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I loved the first book in this series, and I mean LOVED it. To the point that I listened to the audio book about 8 times and read it about 3 times. I aggonized for months waiting for this book, and literally checked his site (the authors) twice a day. That’s why this book pained me so much. I think that this book is fine, and it cleared up a lot of the questions I had from the first book that I was dying to have answered, but I think that was my biggest problem with this book. To me this should have been a 3 book series, and from what I can tell from his blog posts I think that was the original plan of the author, but he created a character (karis) that he liked better than corin and so he shoved two books into one so he could move on too his next set of novels. You can almost see that thought process happening through the book too. The book becomes more and more rushed and filled with huge plot points that come out of nowhere the further the book goes. Lots of reviews are complaining that the start of the book took to long, but actually i didn’t mind that. The slower parts seemed more natural to the story and made me feel more engrossed in the story. Yes it’s a tad slow, but at least it stayed true to its purpose. The last third of the book started throwing out huge answers to questions developed earlier that made no sense to answer or had no lead up. My biggest example would be the banquet. Not only do we get a ton of new information from nowhere we also get a new character that had a great introduction in the first book but threw that introduction in the trash the moment she became part of the story In this book. Overall this seemed like the plot was really rushed and was trying to finish up two books in one. Also I thought the ending was a huge let down with the Cliché “that was my story” line. I will definitely read the future karis books, because I think that the author will have the same drive that he had for the first book, still one of my favorite authors in this genre, and I will definitely still get the audio book because that voice actor is godly.

Typical Shopper

A Real Protagonist, A Fun Story (Can't Wait for #3!)

May 19, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

In this volume, Andrew continues to takes us through Corin's school and personal life - with all the plots, danger, and magical methodology that entails for him.

I was incredibly excited to once again 'hear' Corin's voice as he tells his story (intelligent, thorough, creative, and charmingly antisocial). I read the book in one sitting, and wasn't disappointed - more runes, more attunements, and most especially realistic relationships with his peers (friendship and perhaps some romance, but refreshingly low on teen angst and drama while still providing tension and support. People just being people - a precious scarcity in fantasy). As eager as I am to see where the magic and plot goes, as a reader I find myself particularly invested in watching Corin grow as a character, and what that means for those relationships he's chosen to cultivate, and those forced upon him.

A definite read for the introvert tower climber/dungeon crawler in all of us (and on a personal note: More Jin please!)
