Summary
Ryn has fallen. Ester could be dying. Bonner is too far away to help.
No matter how Declan Idrys looks at his situation, he comes to the same conclusion every time: He is about to die at the hands of the first dark elf seen in 700 years. Fate, fortunately, is not so cruel, though, and after barely surviving this initial encounter with the er’endehn of Eserysh, Declan and his friends find themselves in a tentative truce with the war-loving elves. They share a common enemy, after all, and their mutual hate for the Endless Queen and her growing legions is enough for the two groups to set aside their mistrust for one another, if only for now.
Sehranya, however, is not one to rest easy while her enemies join forces, and Declan and his companions soon find themselves assaulted by new horrors as they set out to make at last for the legendary city of Ysenden in truth.
But the queen has made a mistake. Within Declan the slumbering might of his line is at last stirring, prodded into life by the guiding hands of Bonner yr’Essel. Fire. Power. Strength. Sehranya will rue the day she did not throw everything she had into slaying the one of King’s blood....
Let award-winning voice artist Nick Podehl capture your imagination as you dive into the much-anticipated next installment of The Shattered Reigns, a best-selling fantasy series written by two authors at the top of their game.

Much the same as the last
If you liked the first book you'll probably enjoy this too, good to get more from these characters but if you didn't then this book was more of the same so you probably won't. I enjoyed this, Nick did a great job again, I'll read the next one when it's out but I'd still give these a pretty solid 7/10

Really disappointed with this
Big fan of the authors and Nick Podhel (who is awesome to be fair) this whole story feels like it has been
dragged for no reason. Really angry I actually preordered the second book

Can’t end there.
What a horrible ending. I hoping for a third book. If not I’m very disappointed. There is no justice if the story ends like this.

Not as good as the first one
Sorry, but this is simply no where near as good as the first one. Nick Podehl does an AMAZING job narrating, as usual! This book was lackluster at best. Some of the story line is just plain stupid, especially the ending. I’ll listen to it one more time in a couple weeks to see what I think, but there were about a dozen times I had to relisten to a specific part multiple times, usually the most important parts, because my mind was wandering. Hopefully the next one will be better. I do, 100% recommended the Stormweaver book that is previewed at the end… it’s one of the best books I’ve listened to in the last couple years!

What's the deal with book 3
I enjoyed the first book so much (despite the longer than average wait between books) I preordered the second book the day it was up for pre-order. The story is great, of course the narration is fantastic, but where on earth is book 3 at after 2 years of waiting. People want to continue the story even though it was 100% predictable where the story was headed, that doesn't really matter. The lore is interesting and new take on this style of story. I guess I'll stick this story along with The Kingslayer Chronicles in the back of my mind since it doesn't seem that either story will ever be finished.
