Summary
"Ray Porter is the perfect book narrator. He submerges so completely into each character that they come alive as individuals. He allows the story to speak rather than making it his. He’s also fun to work with—and we have done a ton of projects together. It’s to the point that I hear his voice in my head when I’m writing. And even though he’s reading my work, his performance is so nuanced and entertaining that it allows me to listen to my own audiobooks as if they are brand new. It’s a fantastic working partnership."—Jonathan Maberry
Son of the Poison Rose marks the second installment of New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry's epic, swashbuckling Kagen the Damned series.
The Silver Empire is in ruins. War is in the wind. Kagen and his allies are on the run from the Witch-king. Wild magic is running rampant everywhere. Spies and secret cabals plot from the shadows of golden thrones.
Kagen Vale is the most wanted man in the world, with a death sentence on his head and a reward for him—dead or alive—that would tempt a saint.
The Witch-king has new allies who bring a terrible weapon—a cursed disease that drives people into a murderous rage. If the disease is allowed to spread, the whole of the West will tear itself apart.
In order to build an army of resistance fighters and unearth magical weapons of his own, Kagen and his friends have to survive attacks and storms at sea, brave the haunted wastelands of the snowy north, fight their way across the deadly Cathedral Mountains, and rediscover a lost city filled with cannibal warriors, old ghosts, and monsters from other worlds. Along with his reckless adventurer brothers, Kagen races against time to save more than the old empire… if he fails the world will be drenched in a tsunami of bloodshed and horror.
Son of the Poison Rose weaves politics and espionage, sorcery and swordplay, treachery and heroism as the damned outcast Kagen fights against the forces of ultimate darkness.

Fantastic Fantasy
The narrator was born for this. Although I wish female characters were voiced by eh uh females. The last 4-6 hours of this tipped the scales for me making this the best one so far. Some of the best writing and tension building I've had with a story in a while. Hope this planned trilogy finishes strong, bring on the next one.

Far better than book one!
Overall I enjoyed it. There is even more intresting world building in this one. Essentially we go from a grounded world - simialr to The Blade Itself univers, to one that's more close to The Lord Of the Rings. I'm loving the transition.
The only negative I have is around the final battle... it was rather bland, like something from a cheap young adult book.
Oh an please kill Tuc and Fillia in the next book, the sarcasam and non-stop cheese banter got old fast.
Narrator was spot on though 10/10.

Amazing Listen
Loved the first book but this one really gets the story going. You feel fully immersed with the characters! Kagan is a great character. Very much looking forward to the next instalment. Ray Porter as always is an outstaring narrator.
