The audio is great.
Book 2 An Echo Of Things To Come comes out August 22nd.

I read a while back but might join in for a reread if the timing works out. Could probably use a reread before book 2 anyway.

I'll probably reread this before book two is out in August. Kramer is back for book to and I'm hyped :D
Looking forward to this one, had the first self published version, then I found out that the newer version was expanded. So I purchased this as well. I'll be ready.
I have added this one to my TBR and will try to purchase the book before September so I can join you as well!
I loved this book and have the second one on pre-order. I'm loving the covers! I can't help myself! I hope everyone enjoys it =)
I got three chapters in before seeing this! Going to put it on the back burner and do it as a buddy read instead in September. Have to say though, the first few chapters did catch my attention.

The audio was as usual excellent.

Yeah I've honestly become pretty picky with what narrators I'll listen to haha. Good quality audio can make or break a book for me, so I'd rather not spoil a book with a bad narrator.
So I decided to read the prologue of the book out of curiosity and slight hype and I'm getting a lot of eye of the world prologue vibes whether its good or not we will have to see
I'm five chapters in and I'm really interested in the premise with the augurs and the gifted and so far I'm liking the pace since it's progressing pretty well for me and I'm liking Davian so far
I am VERY excited for this read!! First book club - yay! I've already "earned" enough in my 5 for 1 challenge, so I'm ready to start on the 1st, lol.
I'll jump in as soon as I'm done with Words of Radiance, which also starts on the 1st. It's possible I'm over-extending myself, lol.
Yes! Finally a book I already own. Got a copy at JordanCon and have been meaning to actually read it one day.

I really hope I like this since all the praise seems promising and I hearing wheel of time a lot and I've only read eye of the world and the prologue of this book seems very familiar to that so hopefully it will be good
I hope so too, Ahdam. I raced through The Way of Kings in six days (it was so good) so I'm hoping to keep a similar pace with this one. I'm also reading Sailing to Sarantium starting on the fifth so I'll not get to WoR until mid-month. This group just reads too many good books.
I just have a feeling I'm not going to be able to squeeze this one in haha. Too many books to read in September, and I'm really trying to stay invested in the Stormlight and Wheel of Time BRs =/.

I'm feeling the crunch too, although I'm already behind on both SA and WoT, so I might as well compound that, lol.

Glad your liking it Frank I'm further in to the book and there has been some interesting developments going on
(view spoiler)
I should get mine from the library in the next couple of days. Looking forward to it, but I know I will be slow.
I have started this one yesterday. Only read the 1syt chapter but I like where this is going so far!
