Meh, It's not for me Chief.

I really did want to enjoy this series. But the lack of world building aside from the epilogue and the scattered details shoe horned into the story to create the world... feels... hollow. Yeah we get some pretty badass military vs medieval fantasy tropes scenes, but that about it.

Over time it start to sounds more like a rant about how to shoot the natives and to not trust the natives then an actual story lol.

I'm stopping my journey here, others may find joy in this story and that cool too.

Amazing entry, better than the 1st book.

Wow, I must say Book 2 exceeded my expectations. Narrator performance was outstanding. The trout through the forest was spooky. My children were scared listening this book. Only issue, I thought the vampire died too easy and I didn't get why their guide suddenly became an enemy at the end. Other than that, excellent book.

Each book is better than the last.

As always Peter Nealen comes through again. I can't get enough of this series.

Just got amazing

First book was good. Second book got great fast.

This and Forgotten Ruin could be a fantastic new genre for me.

Really good stuff, has 40 minutes of an "AAR"

I'll get out of the way and say i don't like after action reports, or much of the like, so i skipped it. Just felt it good to note that the book is technically 10 hours long, and not 10 hours and 44 minutes.

Bookkeeping out of the way, i quite enjoyed this second book in the series. The first book had me a little wary that it would follow trends of other books in this genre that i have heard, where worldbuilding and fantasy are set aside for just blowing everything up, but i did quite enjoy this entry. I will say my biggest gripe so far is we are no closer to figuring out why the group was dragged in through the mist, why this world is the way it is, and why so many questions we are posed aren't c lose to being answered. I enjoyed the aspect of the tuatha, with them having basically adopted the group. I found comments in the first book about not having a magic machine that would keep them fully supplied somewhat skewered by the magic cauldron that does just that.

The narrator is really, really good. My docking of one star is that personally he gets into this flow that makes it somewhat easy for me to zone out, however i'm pretty sure that is something that is far from universal. His voices and pace are beyond great, and i will be looking out for books narrated by him in the future as well. All this said, i quite enjoyed this book comapred to the "forgotten ruins" series which i found to taper off quite quickly by book two. I only compare it as they seem to be from the same people.

All the promises of awesome of book 1 is fulfilled

I love book one and I wanted to know what Peter's trick was going to be. I wanted a military verse fantasy where they got to keep their guns and everything seemed to point that Peter has a good trick up his sleeve for that. it's everything I could hope for and morehen there's the rest of the book. incredible potential for sci-fi and fantasy incredibly well written while the whole time strangling yah by the huevos with it's balls to wall action. These books do not relent. I love it and you will hopefully too.

Bad audiobook

It would only play chapter 6 after that it would not play at all no matter what I did!

book 3 please hurry!!

this is a great military fantasy story. I'm more into military sci-fi but liked the preview of ice and monsters and thought I would give it a try worth the credit for sure. non-stop action non-stop monsters and mayhem who could ask for anything more.

Mark Boyett brings this book to life!

These are the kind of stories that legends are made from. Another epic adventure into the realm of wizards, sorcery and men of might. Not for the faint of heart. This book is a series of struggles facing all manner of evil magic. Only those who have the heart and the strength can accomplish what needs to be done. Excellent performance by Mark Boyett.

Liked this book better than the first.

First of all, Mark Boyett is great.
I would argue this book was better than the first and I really loved the first book. This book is also more dark than the first book.
The plot thickens and I’m ready for the 3rd book coming up late April.
Thanks Pete for such an enjoyable escape from what’s going on in the world.
