Narrators Khaya Fraites and Gabriel Michael return in their roles as Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson in the second cinematic production of the “Empyrean” series, once again split into
two parts, with two different ISBN numbers. This second volume in the series continues where Fourth Wing left off, with Violet learning the truth behind Xaden’s activities and her own family history and facing a powerful and sadistic new enemy. Mirroring the threats inside Basgiath War College are those from the outside, as the overthrow of the continent by venin and their wyverns becomes imminent. If life-and-death decisions are not sufficient, Violet and Xaden must also navigate their personal relationship, which is troubled by lies and secrets. To this mix of romance, action, and suspense, GraphicAudio adds layered sound effects, music, and deft editing to create an enjoyable feeling of verisimilitude, as if the listener has joined Violet and Xaden’s squad of friends and is fighting by their sides and watching as they fall deeper in love.
VERDICT Readers extending their experience of the story by listening as well will be delighted. Audio-only readers will hear the story in a format that suits it wonderfully.
