About this listen

Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed the continent of Triton....

The prophecy has begun. The Beast has been stirred. And Triton is in turmoil.

Our four warriors and four witches, destined mates, have begun their adventure, knowing the fate of their world is at stake, but not having any idea there are other factions plotting against them.

Now they face political intrigues, religious zealotry, father against son, wife against husband, a mother’s plotting, a sister’s envy, grief, betrayal, and despair as the prophesied journey across the sands of Firenze into the lush green of Wodell.

The lovers are united, but their stories have just begun. They know the battle ahead will be a fierce one they cannot lose.

What they don’t know is a diabolical plan has commenced....

And no one is safe.

story = 4 1/2 stars

I found the storyline of The Plan Commences much easier to follow than The Beginning of Everything. I'm more familiar with all the couples, other characters, and locations. As with the first in the series, this was a really enjoyable performance to listen to from the full cast of narrators.

Silence & Mars, Cassius & Elena, True and Farah, and Aramus & Ha-Lah. The relationships all have issues early on in this instalment due to misunderstandings and lack of communication - but being typical KA alphas, the men all have strong, dominant personalities, and WHEN they fall in love, they fall hard.

I so badly wanted more from Ha-Lah's POV - she is such a fascinating character, and each time a chapter finished, I would be hoping that the next would be one from Ha-Lah. Hopefully we get more from her in The Dawn of the End. Once again there are some pretty brutal scenes that made me cringe a little, but overall The Plan Commences was a VERY addictive audio to listen to. I listened for 11 1/2 hours yesterday! I was enjoying the relationship progression of all the main couples, and yes - I really wanted more Ha-Lah and who knew when her next chapter would arrive?? Great ending - glad I waited until all 4 had been released to binge listen after that particular cliffhanger.

Repetitive nonsense

This book is much like the first. The 4 couples the book focuses on go back and forth between love and hate. Most chapters are an inner monologue of a woman who is supposed to be intelligent and strong, but is conflicted by her attraction to a man she hardly knows who’s trying to ‘claim’ her and doesn’t treat her well. It’s boring, lazy storytelling, and totally fails the bechdel test. The narrative could be so much better considering the premise of this book but it reads like an outdated harlequin novel (square peg) being forced into the epic, multi-novel fantasy genre (round hole). I had hoped it improved as the story moved along, it did not. Don’t waste your time
