Story
Though hailed a hero by his people, the course of life has not run smooth for the battle-weary Tungdil the dwarf. But there is no rest for this warrior yet - as he must now find the strength to face the most formidable enemy the kingdom has ever encountered. A new evil has risen from the depths of the earth to terrorize the land of Girdlegard. Monstrous creatures - half-orc, half-älfar - are roaming the kingdom, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake. These merciless hybrids are on a mission to obtain the most powerful weapon known to the dwarf race.

Suddenly the Hidden Land's greatest enemy has become its only hope...

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.

Fantastic story, lackluster narration

Publisher's Summary
The dwarves have gone to battle, and they have been victorious. But outside the realm, dark forces are at work.
A secret army of Orcs, made immortal by the hidden powers of the Black Water, now marches towards Girdlegard, set to unleash its fury upon the kingdom. Sooner than they realize, Tungdil and his comrades will need to summon all their courage to do battle against this bloodthirsty horde.
The Orcs are not the only threat. An unspeakable new power is growing and threatens the very existence of the dwarves. But both enemies have forgotten one very important truth: A dwarf is never more dangerous than when total obliteration seems inevitable.

Why change narrator?!
I can never understand why so many audiobooks change narrators in sequels. Brand consistency, hello?? Especially when you go from great narrator to... whatever the hell you’d call the train wreck of missed social queues and misread emotions that Neil Dicksinmouth brought to this installment.
I tolerated the new narrator for a while. Not the voices I was used to. As soon as he reached a song though, IT WAS BUTCHERED. I expected misty mountain and I got a disgruntled, rythm deaf mixture of William shatner and Alfred pennyworth doing drunk slam poetry karaoke.
That did it for me. There are plenty of other examples where this narrator COMPLETELY misses the actual mood of the situation. You know, talking about dealing with their family being killed, and regrets but spoken in a tone like they just won the lottery.
Complete rubbish.
...but the story was great.

WHY CHANGE NARRATOR?
After listening to the first book I recommended it to friends and family. Now I regret it.
Mathew Wolf did an amazing job with the first in this series. So sad that the change to Neil Dickson effected the story so poorly? It was just more difficult to follow along and many times the characters voices merged.
TOO BAD they changed the story teller part way through this amazing tale.

to much political intrigue
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
it was hard to listen to due to me having to fast forward through all of the political intrigue.
What was most disappointing about Markus Heitz’s story?
over the half the book is infested with boring useless political intrigue. the first book was awesome, the second book should be rewritten with all of the political intrigue removed.

Narrator not as good as the first book
I fully understand that it's difficult to depict so many different characters but at times it felt like Neil Dickson was reading the book for the first time. Some characters changed accents throughout. Also having just listened to the first book, the once Scottish dwarves now speaking with a sort of Welsh accent, took a bit of getting used to.

Almost there
This story is better than the first of the series as it is more original. The problem is the narration. By the end of the book it had improved but the first half was the worst I've heard. Pauses while working out how to pronounce names, using the wrong voice for a character, plus the dwarves sounded like pirates. A bit more preparation was needed. Hopefully things will improve for the next book.

OK story becoming too formulaic
The story is ok. Nothing new here it's easy to follow and worth it if you like almost indestructible hero's.
If the ending isn't a large rip from the LOTR then nothing is.
Recommend for people just needing something to listen to but I'd explore other options before putting at the top of any list.

A great second book adding to a great series
After reading the first book I was hooked!! The second book does not disappoint. Its a great book, a great story and with great characters. I love the twists and turns, the depth of the characters and the humour that are all found in this fantastic series. If there was 1 little niggle and yes it is only a little niggle I don't feel the narrator in the second book is a good as the first book but it didn't stop me being completely engrossed. Can't wait to get my teeth into book three!
