The Cup of the World Audiobook, by John Dickinson

Publisher Description

This stunning book opens 12 years after the end of The Cup of the World and tells the story of Ambrose, son of Phaedra and last in the king's line, who is living exiled with his mother in the dilapidated manor of Tarceny. Ambrose's life is threatened by the hooded priest of the Undercraft, an ancestral spirit of pure evil who must end Ambrose's life in order to survive himself. And even when Ambrose is hidden within the house of the Widow of Develin, a hallowed place of learning and haven of education, the priest and his minions slowly and subtly infiltrate within, subverting the minds of those most educated and powerful and leaving Ambrose in mortal danger.

"I thought this was much better than the first. Ambrose's language and thought process was quite simple in the beginning, but it evolved and made me happy :D I'm happy it wasn't a really whiny POV this time. Definitely better than I expected after the first book. Wish it had a more romantic element."

    " good but wanted to see the struggle ends with the Heron man better than it did. i wanted it to end by a great fight or something.. it was a good book anyway and the author totally improved his language and narrating skills. "

    " This didn't quite live up to the first book (The Cup of the World, I thought; the pacing was a little too slow, and the alternating POVs didn't hold me as well as Phaedra's sole POV, but the worldbuilding and atmosphere remained excellent. "
