Story
Tyrion was a good person who had been born to a simple family and raised with love, but the world has shaped him for a different fate. Twisted by violence and torture, he is obsessed with a relentless desire for vengeance, and he has sown the seeds of wrath in his children. The She'Har have offered him the opportunity to be a great leader and usher in a new era of prosperity and peace, but, despite his gentle beginnings, Tyrion is no hero.

Story
The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

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.

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.

dark, tragic, but very good.
the story is full of conflict start to finish and can be a serious jumble of feelings. one criticism would be that the dialog is rather abrupt leaving out much of the natural flow you see in thought and speech as though facts are being presented without the experience. good action with detailed imagery in a good way.

Consuming
If you could sum up The Silent Tempest in three words, what would they be?
Heart-wrenching, gripping, encapsulating
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Silent Tempest?
Being that this is the second book, watching Daniel evolve as a character, and also seeing the secrets unfold is gripping.
What about Alex Wyndham’s performance did you like?
I think he does a very good job, he stops, pauses, and waits in the perfect moments, he does a good job at changing his voice for each character, as much as man can for a woman's voice.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt an extreme amount of despair that controlled me at different points. It never affected my mood per se, as in I was never mean or angry at anyone or something extreme, but I was more quiet a reflective as the story took a grip on my thoughts and mind.

Manning Stokes The Fires!
Now we're really starting to see in greater depth just why Manning felt the need to warn that this series was indeed a dark story in so many ways. Tyrion's twin ascent to power and descent towards madness continues but now there is much more at stake as he draws in other innocents. He writes some particularly powerful scenes at times and despite Tyrion's undoubted willingness to embrace what can fairly be described as unspeakable acts the humanity in him within his predicament shines through in both its darkest and lightest forms.
This is an excellent tale of what happens when a relative innocent has the harshest of choices thrust upon him and it is handled masterfully. The juxtaposition of seeming alien indifference with tortured humanity make for a great intensity. Alex Wyndham delivers it like a thoroughbred and I'm going straight on to the next book. There's no better sign of a good series than when you want to do that!

Read these books before listening to the audio books but the emotional impact is just as strong hearing the story for the second time. Would highly recommend these to any fantasy lover who's looking for something a little more gritty and dark.

I put off getting this book for a while because of some reviews I read and worried it would fall into the poor sequel trap. It doesn’t. Things just get even more interesting and dark at times.
Listened to it all in 3 days and I will be getting the third.

A disappointing sequel
This book fell into the classic trap of sequel disease. It felt as if the author, having given so much to the first book, struggled to maintain the same (high) quality. There were too many contrived situations, too much gratuitous language and scenes which lent nothing really to the story, and too much wilful blindness from a lead character we had been led to believe was so talented, highly intelligent and had been through so much. The contradiction was stark.
Whilst I enjoyed much of what was on offer, I felt this effort lacked the strength, depth and "natural flow" of the first book in the series.

Great sequel
If you have read the first book there is no way you will miss out on the second one unless the first was too gory for you.
