Listened to this book via Audible. Awesome, awesome narrator for an outstanding story. I loved hearing the continuation of this story.

Just fantastic.

This was a bit of a hard slog for me to get into, possibly would have been better read back-to-back with the previous one but I really didn't find myself caring too much about the characters for the first third of the book. The author has tossed a lot of stuff at this book, there's a lot of detail here but I feel as if in some ways some of the good gets overwhelmed by the volume.

Kylar Stern has moved with Elene and Uly to another town and Kylar is trying to leave the life of an assassin behind him. He is determined to create a new life for himself with Elene, however the world isn't ready to let him have peace.

Like I said initially, this took me a while to get into, when I got past a certain point it did take off but it took a long while. I liked it but it was definitely a bridging novel.
