About this listen
"Sometimes, you need to consider the past to see what the future holds." (Journal of Robert Mannford, Day 052, Year 00)
Wayran knows his strange dreams are visions into the future and that Mannford's machines are not yet done with humanity. The keys to understanding all their fates lie within the madman's journal he found in the Wastes. However, none of that will matter if he and his brother Matoh cannot clear their names after the mysterious catastrophe during the academy's initiation ceremony.
New Toeron, the capital city of Salucia, is on the verge of a riot as a string of horrific and racist murders continues to escalate within its walls. John Stonebridge and the Constabulary race to uncover the real motive behind the terrible crimes and catch the killer before it's too late.
The invasion of the Kutsal Empire on the western fringes of the Nine Nations is well underway. The holy nation of Kenz fell to the invaders within a month, and the empire has plans for the rest of Salucia, but the fate of the Kutsal Empire is about to change as Jonah has awoken, and he now remembers his tragic past.

Story
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

I never believed in the whole “light at the end of the tunnel” folly where people, after having a near-death experience, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, “I saw the light!” But there I was, in this so-called “tunnel” facing a glaring light, when the last thing I remembered was sleeping in my room - the royal bed-chamber, as others called it. Had I died? If so, how? King Grey once benefited from unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability but now finds himself reborn in a society dominated by magic.

The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable fight for almost 200 years. The lucky ones are born gifted. One in every 2,000 women has the power to call down dragons. One in every 100 men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine. Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. Young, giftless Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Only, he doesn't get the chance. Those closest to him are murdered....

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and grand quests. When he is claimed against his will as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds that being a long-lost prince isn't what the storybooks promised. He also discovers that the storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, true love, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he’s not the hero, for Kihrin is not destined to save the empire. He’s destined to destroy it.

Started good, became great.
I liked the first book, Visions, but Awakenings really pays off continuing the series, and I can't wait for the third book.
Rhys David's performance was good in the first book, but like many sequel performances, he has improved exponentially. The work in this book is among the very best I've listened to, dripping with exhaustion, or heart-racing excitement, the emotional range delivered really draws you into the story.
I highly recommend this to fans of fantasy, but it contains many genres of story telling.

Great second installment
This is a great second part to an already good series. There is more answers, more magic, more world building, and of course more questions. I will be awaiting the next book eagerly. I did get this book free in exchange for a review, but it's worth spending a credit on.
