It’s been seven years since the end of the Naxid War. Sidelined for their unorthodox tactics by a rigid, tradition-bound military establishment, Captain Gareth Martinez and Captain Lady Sula are stewing in exile, frustrated and impatient to exercise the effective and lethal skills they were born to use in fighting the enemy. Yet after the ramshackle empire left by the Shaa conquerors is shaken by a series of hammer blows that threaten the foundations of the commonwealth, the result is a war no one planned, no one expected, and no one knows how to end.

The narrator sounds like AI

The narrator sounded like bad AI. Just need more words to fill this space to hit minimum.

It's been 10 years since the Battlemage War, where thousands died as mages sundered the earth and split the sky. Habreel believes eradicating magic is the only way to ensure a lasting peace. He will do anything to achieve his goal, even if it means murdering every child born with the ability. As deaths involving magic increase and the seat of magical learning - the Red Tower - falls under suspicion, two students and one lawbringer must do everything they can to combat Habreel and his followers before magic disappears from the world for good.

Should have followed Battlemage. Seriously. I thought that series lost its way at book 2 & concluded ok with 3.
But in this book, we get all our favorite characters, and some new interesting ones. It’s great. Look forward to reading the next.

Sssssooo much ssssssssibilancccccceeee
Revisado: 10-15-17
The book is great but Micheal Kraemer, as usual, has an annoying amount of sibilance in his recordings, and I've listened to *many*. Someone needs to help him set up his audio equipment to mitigate against sibilance. Please.

In the wake of a devastating attack, an amnesty has been declared for all Augurs - finally allowing them to emerge from hiding and openly oppose the dark forces massing against the land of Andarra. As the Augur Davian and his new allies hurry north toward the ever-weakening Boundary, however, fresh horrors along their path suggest that their reprieve may have come far too late. His ally in the Capital, the new Northwarden, contends with assassins and politicians and uncovers a dangerous political secret.

Solid sequel
Revisado: 09-11-17
Would you consider the audio edition of An Echo of Things to Come to be better than the print version?
I enjoyed the sequel to what I thought was an amazing first book. Listening to the audiobook is sort of difficult to follow at times because of Caden's nonlinear storyline. It's an interesting narrative choice to have one of the main character's storyline be told through flashbacks. Then you get a slew of new characters, places, and names that are different than everything you've been hearing up to that point.
I also thought that there was a lot of sibilance in Kramer's reading which could be jarring at times.
