About this listen

Two years have passed since the war. The Primate is dead, the machines at Stonewater have been destroyed, yet without essence the Empire's economy has collapsed. Trade is at a standstill, famine sets in, and, with no food and no essence, the people begin to riot.

In the midst of the growing unrest, Miro struggles to balance his life with Amber against his resolve to keep threats to the Empire at bay. His sister Ella helps to build the machinery the Empire desperately needs, but she longs to find Killian and believes his powers will be needed in the conflict to come.

News of a wedding brings a much - needed ray of hope to the weary people. But as citizens and leaders gather from afar for the festivities, an evil threat shatters the fragile peace: one of the Evermen has returned. And he will not rest until he has completely destroyed the humans he despises.

There is no lull in the story's pace and the feel for the characters is as strong as at the start.

Great listen

The central characters are still long-suffering in this third book in the series. Plot twists abound (some less predictable, even if it follows the same kind of template as the previous books). Very enjoyable, would recommend the audiobook for anyone enjoying the previous books.

Fun book, good production for audio

if it was a book it would be"unputdownable"- so as an audiobook I suppose it must be "unstoplisteningble!" great

brilliant

I love the narration, let's start there.
Storywise I once read that this series is almost like two two-book series and that's true, it's quite different from the first two, and actually I enjoyed it much more than book 2. It felt like the plot wasn't stunted by the author's attempt to "sexify" the story. I felt like the boundaries of "everything is going to work" were pushed farther and overall the pacing worked better than the two previous books.

Preferred this to book 2!

This book takes up two years after the war. Essence is in short supply and trade is almost at a standstill and the Empire is on its knees.

Miro and Amber set the wedding date and leaders from all over attend. However, their wedding is brought to an abrupt end when an explosion kills, maims and sends people, including Amber's son, into a deep coma.

Miro sets off to far lands to try to find a cure for their son. Amber, unintentionally, gets to go with him. With the crew mutinying and Miro and Amber stranded on far away shores, this is only the beginning of their trials.

Meanwhile, Ella is trying to bring Killian back to try to counteract the evil which the Everman, Lord of the Night, who crossed over is wreaking on everyone.

This certainly has a lot going on and there never seems to be a dull moment.

Enjoyable

I could not put this down, it enthralls you throughout. can"t wait to start the next book.

brilliant continuation of the story

Path of the Storm is the best of the trilogy so far, in my opinion. So often with trilogies the books get worse as the series progresses, but Maxwell seems hellbent on breaking that rule.

The aftermath of the war and realisation that one of the feared Evermen has returned adds a new dimension to the plot. Ella's insistence, even when others beg against it, to find a way to bring Killian back sees her gaining help from a source that, ordinarily would be seen as unthinkable.

In my last review I stated how Maxwell expanded his world, showing new lands and people. This time he's done it again, but on a far grander scale. The exploration into both the past and the present lands of his world make this book as enthralling as the plotline he has drummed up with the returning Everman.

All in all, this is a solid book and one that should not be missed.

Probably the best so far

Having read the earlier parts of the series I was uncertain about how I'd take to 'someone else's voices' but Simon Vance captured the characters well and as ever carried the narrative with his delivery.

A wonderful rendition of this powerful story
