4.5/5

Audiobook narrated by Ian McKellen.

A solid new Chronicles of Ancient Darkness story and a much darker one. A great disaster occurs and we see our main characters as well as all the clans struggle with the huge changes that occur.

The Good:
- A new and interesting direction for the series executed well 
- The elements of magecraft included were interesting and imaginative.
- Due to the events of the past year, it was easy to see and understand how different characters reacted to the catastrophic opening events.
- The villain had developed and it will be intruiging how the overarching plot will develop.

What Could Have Been Better?:
- As with Viper's Daughter, very slight pacing issues.

I'm excited for the next installment which should be out Spring 2022.
