About this listen

The highly anticipated sequel to A Demon in Silver, The Hangman's Gate continues the epic saga of the War of the Archons.

After uniting the bandit clans, the Iron Tusk has swept into Shengen and taken control of the empire. With an army behind him, he marches along the Skull Road, ready to lay waste to the lands in the west. The rag-tag defenders of Dunrun are all that stand in his way. With their country besieged on all sides, troubling rumors of a priestess amassing power in the North, and unnatural alliances to the south, no help is coming. Alone, they must hold back the god-like powers of the Iron Tusk, or see life as they know it come to an end.

Gets pretty heavy in detail and a character map would be good at times. But for the most part it all comes together really well.

I really enjoyed the first book and this one. I found myself listening for hours reluctant to stop listening. When I sampled the first book I knew it would be good because of the narrator.

Book 1 was exceptional. Clever. Fast paced. And with just enough information to get you thinking. Book 2 was not so clever. A bit tedious and a little predictable. 10 hours is too short to waste on detailed fireside conversations. I zoned out.
