The story continues

As with the previous book, the narrator was very good. Each character's voice is distinct and consistent, and his tempos and inflections are well done.

The story picks up right where the last one ended and goes pretty much in the direction I expected.

The characters continue to develop and continue to intrigue.

I have just a few points of critique.
1, I find Sira's reactions a bit inexplicable. With what she's been through it definitely makes sense that she wouldn't want to be touched by a man. Unfortunately, we clearly see (through her thoughts) that she thinks of Raz as a man, rather than a creature or a monster. So it makes no sense that she is willing (eager, even) to be touched by him.
2. I really wish the author would choose a POV style (either omniscient or limited) and stick to it.
3. The passive construction: was coupled with "ing" verbs is really wearing on me. I don't mind seeing/hearing it occasionally when it's talking about an ongoing action, but when it's used this much is really annoys me.

Now, I really enjoyed the progression of the story in this one. There is a strong sense of what each character is after and the tensions between characters is organic and skilfully weaved together.

I very much enjoyed the compete flip that happens near the end and reach character's reactions to it are natural and believable.

And now, I just have to wait for the fifth book to be written and recorded.

Holy mother fuckin dog shit!

I'll admit, when I started child of the day star, I didn't know if I would hang with these books. Thank the Sun and the Moon that I did! from the GREAT narration to a FANTASTIC turn of events, this series will rip you down a road of sharp turns! character development was fantastic. The dragon of the North became a legend. The end, while not entirely a cliff hanger, LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE! Thank you Mr O'connor for a thrilling ride. Can't wait for the next one!

Fantastic 4th book...Waiting for the 5th!

I have been listening to these books back to back. Raz and Syrah are together as a team...and they definitely are a force to be reckoned with. Awesome new characters, a journey upon a boat, revolts, and an old nemesis, and a new weapon all make a play in this book. Mikael Naramore continues to IMPRESS with his INCREDIBLE narration and story telling skills!! Grab it now!

more growth

the fact that the characters are still constantly growing and changing, as well as showing they are not marry Sue's is impressive. many stories tend to hit a point where the plot is the only thing moving forward but this doesn't seem to have that issue so far.

wow

just wow wow wow he is dark and epic
fantasy for the ages wow wow

If you wanted Raz at his finest. This is it.

If the show must go on this then this is the next step logical step of Raz's story, the culmination of all his efforts, being brought to bear. Dealing with the spread of the consequences of notoriety, Raz is again dealing with the realization that his life is no longer his own, the story of "The Dragon" has seeped into the zeitgeist of the land. New and familiar faces make satisfying entrances as well as satisfying callbacks and foreshadowing of things to come are moments that are completely satisfying to fans of the series. The combat still vivid and action laced, and I couldn't ask for a better vocal performance, from the narritive pacing to the character voices. For being the 4th book in the series it's definitely the strongest so far.
