Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride. However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's Summary
The mysterious, indomitable warrior? Ruthless criminal overlord? The Riel'gesh - mythical demigod? Dedicated friend and protector?
Equipped with skills far beyond those of the outworlders, Rezkin has been suddenly thrust into a foreign world. The young warrior clings to his only known purpose as he continues his search for any information about his identity and the reason for his existence.
While the hardened warrior scorns both dueling and tournaments, he believes some of the answers he seeks may be found at the King's Tournament, the greatest dueling championship in all of the kingdoms. As he searches for the elusive Striker Farson, who may be the only person alive who holds the clues, the young warrior and his friends embark on a journey fraught with danger, mystery, and intrigue.
Amid fears of the kingdom's economic collapse, rumors of an eminent military draft, and the machinations of a mad, tyrannical king, a new revelation threatens to upend all the warrior's plans.

Oh, very WELL DONE!
If you could sum up Reign of Madness in three words, what would they be?
Only need two: VERY SATISFIED
Who was your favorite character and why?
I stated in my review of the first book in this series that the main was my favorite because the other characters didn't have much to them. I am very happy to see that the author has had his cast of character grow! I thoroughly enjoyed the maturing of these characters, all of them.
What does Nick Podehl bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narration of this book was done very professionally. Nick Podehl brings much to this medium. Each medium has its pluses and minuses and I don't like to say one is better than another.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yup and did! I don't regret that in the slightest.
Any additional comments?
It is painful to leave the immersion of this story and I will be checking a lot for the next in the series! BRAVA Kel Kade! Keep going!

Must read for epic fantasy fans
With a healthy mix of character development, amazing battles, humor, and some mystery, it is definitely a must read. While it is a little "i know what will happen next," it still draws you into the story. I liken it to the Kingkiller Chronicles, but with less mystery and cliffhangers, and, so far vs the KKC, more battles and a faster paced story.
While I do prefer the mysteries of KKC, Kings Dark Tidings is more than worth a read. (plus, books are actually released so you don't have to wait SIX PLUS YEARS between installments... I'm not bitter.)
As always, Nick Podehl is a five star narrator, and his voicing of characters makes the story that much more interesting.

Dexter in the dark ages... with magic.
The character growth in this story never ceases to impress me. Rezkins' childlike, and psychologically stunted, mindset keeps the horrid situations strangely lighthearted while the actions of his personas show sociopathic logic. it's devilishly entertaining.

Main Character is OP
not a bad story overall, but some of the characters do fail the common sense test, the over explanation grinds on a bit (it is more boring academic baby steps then adding insight and wonder/potential in exposition), and Op main character is OP. It is very lacking because of that 0 tension the MC has when faced with anything.
Not bad overall, but there are just too many parts where I just cringe or roll my eyes and just get annoyed. Had potential.

Written and Performed Flawlessly
If you could sum up Reign of Madness in three words, what would they be?
Very well written
What did you like best about this story?
The entire book is excellent. There was always something exciting happening and you didn't have to wait long for things to get interesting. Just when you thought things couldn't get more exciting it does. The tournament was very well written and was very satisfying. Thankfully the ending didn't leave you a huge cliff hanger but still leaves you excited for the next book.
Which character – as performed by Nick Podehl – was your favorite?
Rezkin by far.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Nearly did so. Yes
Any additional comments?
Can't wait for book three. I will probably read book one and two a few more times which says a lot from me as I hardly ever re-read books.

Still Fun
Any additional comments?
Does it make sense if I say that this is a better book, but a less entertaining book?
I don't really get the point of reviewing books in a series past the first one. That is unless the series becomes terrible. So here is all you need to know: If you like the first book, you'll like this one. If you didn't like the first book, this one doesn't improve enough to make it worth it. If you are on the fence, read on.
The biggest difference is that the supporting characters of the first book, such as Frisha and Tam are basically minor characters this time around. This is probably a good thing because Frisha kind of becomes a jealous cardboard cutout. However the new supporting characters are quite enjoyable. There is a bit more depth to Rezkin and the story this time around. In fact, the overarching plot seems to have had rockets strapped to it! It moves along non-stop (in a 98% logical way).
If you were on the fence after the first book because you wanted more depth or disliked the characters of the first, grab this one. If you were on the fence because Rezkin is perfect and faces no true challenge, then pass on this sequel.
Was I entertained? Yes. Is this still a great, light-hearted book to enjoy after a long day? Oh yes. Do I still recommend it? Definitely. The third book will be a day one purchase for me.

Magnificatly awesome
I've never commented before on a book, but this one capture my imagination and conjured up such great images in my mind I had to leave something behind.
I listen via audible books, the narration was perfect, the characters in the books were well form and link together perfectly. I just didn't wanna stop listen.
At points of the book I had shiver of excitement. I will now read the books aswel, can't wait for book 3 and hope there will be more after that.

My first ever review - this needed it!
I have been an avid audible listener for some years now, with my focus on heroic fantasy (LoTR started it). I have listened to all of Sandersons, Rothfuss, George RR Martin, Anthony Ryan, Joe Abercrombie etc and this one came out of nowhere like The Name of The Wind or The Blade Itself. If you like this genre, give this a listen. A different writing approach to the others but thoroughly enjoyed it. I was gripped from the start and used every moment I could to listen to that extra little bit. The narration of this story is one of the best yet, the characters are clear and concise and you know exactly who is talking. I wish someone had put me onto this series before, I'm going straight onto Book 3!

One of the greats.
This book and the previous one are in my top 10. The story starts slowly and keeps building to a brilliant ending that left me begging for more. I cannot wait for the next instalment. The characters and story are extremely well written and Nick Podehl is a master reader, each character is recognizable throughout and he reads with such passion, I enjoyed his performance thoroughly. This book is one I am glad to have chosen and the author should be proud, five stars from me!

I've never re-read a book before, and this series is my first time doing so. Absolutely as hooked this time as I was the first.

Book 1 showed potential
The main character is overpowered. That can be done in a grounded way but here it comes of as unbearable after Rezkin is shown to have no limitations.

Addictive Storytelling
These books and their narrative structure, lack the complexity and narrative gymnastics of other fantasy cycles, but I find I’m addicted to the single narrative story line, focused on the life and learnings of an invincible superhero figure, wreathed in so much detail. It just leaves me feeling good. And the whole thing is made three dimensional by Nick Poedels reading.

Best audiobook I have read yet
It's story and most of the characters drag me in and make lose hours of my time without knowing it. Along with this, the fight scenes are balanced just right between detailed and exciting.

Made for younger readers
great storyline. I wish the author gave the duels more time and more description to them...

Amazing Series
I downloaded this on a whim. I'm very glad I did.
the shorter nature of the books allow for a fast and furious plot with plenty of action.
The protagonist is the dark anti-hero type that I absolutely love and reminds me of others like Logan nine fingers from Joe Abercrombie's works.
very much looking forward to the third book.

Thoroughly worth the listen
A fantastic lead character and action filled plot. Intriguing with drip fed revelations but not so much so as to be frustrating or confusing. No annoying flash backs or poorly contrived dual narratives as often found in this genre.
Looking forward to book 3!

excellent story, female character depth lacking
I enjoy the story, but like many others think it's disgusting that every female in the story is gushing for the main character. eg, new character enters the story and within 10 sentences they're being openly suggestive about banging Rez.
if you can ignore anytime a female character is mentioned as they're one dimensional in this novel, it's a fantastic story.
Take some pointers from The Emperor's blades by Brian Staveley about female character depth

So Good
Don't have much to say, loved the book, finished the series thus far (up to date) parying for a 5th book soon.
