Story
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Story
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Story
It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs - once thought of almost as gods - were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Publisher's Summary
Second in the age of Madness trilogy, The Trouble with Peace is the next instalment of a series which is revolutionising fantasy....
Conspiracy. Betrayal. Rebellion.
Peace is just another kind of battlefield....
Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way.
For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye...before it kills her.
Unrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply.
The old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace, lasts forever.

Great Story and Narration
Steven Pacey is by far my favourite narrator and he truly brings this story to life. The book itself is incredible.

warning listen with care !
if you love joes other books im sorry to inform you but after listening to this book there comes a point in time when it ends. and you realise you need to find something else to take you away into a fantasy world that is oddly mirrored in reality another great book full with flawed characters that you want all to fail and all to succeed at the same time.

just when you think it's over
Another in this excellent series. Here we see the culmination of the plans of the Young Lion and those of the Great Wolf. Twists and turns galore will keep you riveted right up to the closing credits. looking forward to next in the series.

Once again. Truly amazing
This second book in the series is even better than the first, by a long way actually. It builds up, and then the last 6 or 7 chapters go so quick with so many Revelations that you're left wanting more when says "this is audible" at the end. Amazing

The usual excellence
The usual mix if dark humour and violence. Mr Abercrombie keeps going from strength to strength and Mr Pacey knocks it out of the park.
