Summary
The fate of the Cinder Spires may be decided by crossed swords in the next exhilarating fantasy adventure in the New York Times bestselling series of noble families, swordplay, and airships.
For centuries the Cinder Spires have safeguarded humanity, rising far above the deadly surface world. Within their halls, aristocratic houses rule, developing scientific marvels and building fleets of airships for defence and trade.
Now, the Spires hover on the brink of open war.
Everyone knows it's coming. The guns of the great airship fleets that control the skies between the last bastions of humanity will soon speak in anger, and Spire Albion stands alone against the overwhelming might of Spire Aurora's Armada and its new secret weapon--one capable of destroying the populations of entire Spires.
A trading summit at Spire Olympia provides an opportunity for the Spirearch, Lord Albion, to secure alliances that will shape the outcomes of the war, and to that end he dispatches privateer Captain Francis Madison Grimm and the crew of the AMS Predator to bolster the Spirearch's diplomatic agents.
It will take daring, skill, and no small amount of showmanship to convince the world to stand with Spire Albion--assuming that it is not already too late.

Love love love it.
Thoroughly enjoyable book I'm loving this series so much and really can't wait for the next book. All the characters seem real and the world is so intriguing brilliant. I never thought 20 hours could go by so quickly.
Very good narration, Euan has a really interesting voice and does all the voices uniquely he's great to listen to.

As someone else said- well worth the wait
I absolutely love this series and hope to read more sooner! Totally intrigued by this world Jim has created- the only disappointment for me was I wanted more of the “naval battles” I enjoyed the ship aspect so much about the first book it sent me on a quest to find something similar (which I sadly couldn’t find)
Other than that I throughly enjoyed the book. Was spot on. More please but this side of 2030 if possible

Long awaited and didn’t disappoint
It’s been too long since the first volume, but this was worth it.
Familiar loved and loathed characters return, enfolded into new layers of adventure, bravery and dry humour as the story continues.
And the cats, as always, are magnificent.

So glad it was worth the wait
8 years is a long time to wait for the next instalment and so I was really pleased that the sequel was as good as the first and that the narrator was the same. Book 1.5 really should have been part of this book as the stories were part of the same episode. I hope the next book will be ready before another 8 years.

Worthy second part
I have waited so many years for the next part of The Cinder Spires. This book did not disappoint!
Lots of ideas, lots of excitement, insights into the strange world the characters inhabit - and the set up for the next book!
This book was well-worth the wait. Good plot, excellent narration. I hope the next one doesn't spend as long in gestation.

Outstanding
Of course these reviews are not only about the narrator; the story and written word also has to be excellent. In this case both are supreme. Euan Morton read the audio for book one in this series and it was perfect. He does a similar job here. Good pace, a few slight accents and nuanced, as good narration should be.

Great second book.
If you enjoyed Aeronauts Windlass you won’t be disappointed.
Great narration and story.
I’m only disappointed that I can’t immediately read the next book.
