About this listen
The weather magic that holds Lur safe is failing, and the earth feels broken to those with the power to see. Among Lur's sorcerers, only Asher has the skill to mend the antique weather map that governs the seasons, keeping the land from being crushed by natural forces. Yet, when Asher risks his life to meddle with these dangerous magics, the crisis is merely delayed, not averted.
Asher's son Rafel has inherited the father's talents, but has been forbidden to use them. Many died in the last Mage War and these abilities aren't to be loosed lightly into the world. But when Asher's last desperate attempt to repair the damage leaves him on his deathbed, Rafel's powers may not be denied. For his countrymen are facing famine, devastation, and a rift in the very fabric of their land.

Slow but satisfying
I discovered this sequel after rereading Miller’s Godspeaker trilogy. She writes wonderfully conflicted characters and relishes in impressing the weight of the decisions they have to make.
Unfortunately this has a downside as over 20 hours it feels like very little happens. More often than not, while reading this book you are witnessing an argument about what needs to be done and how horrible the consequences will be for the main characters no matter how they choose to proceed. Still, I consider this to be a wonderful sequel to the Innocent Mage series, so long as Miller sticks the landing with the second book in this series.
The performance was fine, only I had to try and stop figuring out what the narrator’s natural accent might be. It’s all over the place.

intriguing
I really like the world building here. There's a mounting tension that leaves one waiting on tenterhooks for the sequel.
I really like Scott Brick's narrating here and in other books like Michael Crighton's work. Brick's sober ominous voice bring a sense of weight to the dilemmas which Miller's characters are facing
