In Age of Myth, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan launched listeners on an epic journey of magic and adventure, heroism and betrayal, love and loss. Now the thrilling saga continues as the human uprising is threatened by powerful enemies from without — and bitter rivalries from within.  

Raithe, the God Killer, may have started the rebellion by killing a Fhrey, but long-standing enmities dividing the Rhunes make it all but impossible to unite against the common foe. And even if the clans can join forces, how will they defeat an enemy whose magical prowess renders them indistinguishable from gods?  

The answer lies across the sea in a faraway land populated by a reclusive and dour race who feel nothing but disdain for both Fhrey and mankind. With time running out, Persephone leads the gifted young seer Suri, the Fhrey sorceress Arion, and a small band of misfits in a desperate search for aid — a quest that will take them into the darkest depths of Elan. There, an ancient adversary waits, as fearsome as it is deadly.

Absolutely TERRIBLE Scottish accents ruined it for me. If you want Scottish voices then hire voice actors from Scotland, not English and American people pretending to be groundskeeper Willie. I'm just trying to survive this so I can go back to one narrator, it's ruining my enjoyment so much with these crappy accents I would quit if this was book one.

Listen, I don't mind reading books with female protagonists, but make it at least believable, if not realistic (just like the first book where Persephone was awesome).I thought this is a book about war between humans and elves, and not how men are weak, cowards stupid and women are the bestests of the best. In this one book some background characters from the Age of Myth invented reading and writing, the wheel, metallurgy, a bow (lol) and yeah, ...a pocket.
This reads like a parody.

not a lot really progresses in this book. Fine, I can live with that. Most of the characters are decent and the performances are good. My biggest issue thar I can't really get passed is people going from inventing a weapon to being a master of it able to hit a charging target in a high pressure situation in a matter of a few days. That coupled with discovering/inventing writing to being able to rediscover and interpret a lost language in the same couple of days.

If it had been a more reasonable time scale I'd have less issues with it

unreasonable expectations for suspension of disbelief
