Publisher's Summary
Prophecy and magic combine in The Name of All Things, Jenn Lyons' powerful epic of imperial politics, dragons, gods and demons.
You can have everything you want. If you sacrifice everything you believe . . .
Kihrin D’Mon is a wanted man after killing the Emperor of Quur – and not in a good way. So he heads for Jorat, to find the fourth person named in prophesy, who will either save or damn the world.
He meets Janel Theranon, who claims she already knows him. And she wants Kihrin’s help in saving Jorat’s capital from a dragon, who can only be slain with his sword’s magic. Unwittingly, Kirin also finds himself at the centre of a rebellion. One which puts him in direct opposition to Relos Var, his old enemy.
For too long, Janel’s battled the wizard alone – even betraying her ideals to bring him down. However, Var owns one of the world’s most powerful artefacts: the Name of All Things. It bestows knowledge, which Var uses to gain what he wants most. This is now Kihrin D’Mon – and the world may not survive the consequences.
The Name of All Things is book two in Jenn Lyons' thrilling epic fantasy series, A Chorus of Dragons, which begins with The Ruin of Kings. Continue the action with The Memory of Souls.
'What an extraordinary book . . . everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply deeply satisfying. I loved it' – Lev Grossman on The Ruin of Kings

a book about a book recanting a book
This is the second book in the series, I read the first one. The narration is different to other audio books, as we have 1 character recanting stories read by 2 other characters. So we have 3 characters imitating all the other characters, and each other. Takes a little while to get used to the different imitations of the same characters.
Story wise, it is basically a fresh start. New characters and their back story is the focus for 90% of this book. The last handful of chapters continues the overall story.
Not to say the first 90% is meaningless though, but it does seem to lack the same sense of adventure or epic tale that the first did.
That being said, I want to know what happens next!

boring, could not follow the story
I got to chapter 47 and had decided to stop. enough is enough. the story was too intertwined. there were different rules of magic and the for universe seemingly on each page. the story is disjointed and i desided i really wasnt interested in how the book will end. one of the very few books I couldn't finish.
