But he is burdened with secrets and purpose, and then there’s the little fact that he might be the most powerful wizard the world has ever known. Sam is the first-person narrator in this series and he is so pure and full of love. Where TLSH we got the story of Sam and Ryan finding and confessing their love for one another, this book is rich in prophecy and destiny for the wizard’s apprentice, Sam of Wilds. And that’s not a bad thing, but it is a tone change from book one. It’s not all fun and games with the crew making sarcastic or sexual quips all the time. It’s a bit more nasal in this book, so that’s just something to be aware of with the audiobooks.ĪS FOR THE STORY. Most of the voices evened out as the audiobook went on, but the most noticeable difference, I think, is Gary’s voice. I don’t think most listeners would notice the difference if they don’t listen to the audiobooks back-to-back, but while the audiobooks have the same narrators, the voices for some of the characters are slightly different between book 1 and book 2.

I was already on my fourth listen of the audiobook of TLSH by the time this book came out, and realistically, it’s been three years between the audiobooks. Well, by the time ADOD came out, I was borderline addicted with TLSH by then.

Or at least, listening to the audiobook of A Destiny of Dragons, because I had fallen so in love with the audiobook with The Lightning-Struck Heart, that it seemed like the natural thing to do while waiting for book three to be released. I’d been looking forward to reading this book for ages. Ruv, who Vadoma says is Sam’s true cornerstone. His parents are happy, Gary and Tiggy still eat sass for breakfast, Randall is somehow alive despite being older than the gods, the King rules with a gentle hand, Kevin the dragon is as gross as ever, Morgan sighs a lot, Ryan continues to be dashing and immaculate, and Sam is close to convincing Prince Justin they will be best friends forever.īecause Vadoma, the leader of the Gypsy clan and Sam’s grandmother, has come to the City of Lockes with a dire prophecy written in the stars: a man of shadows is rising and will consume the world unless Sam faces his destiny and gathers the five dragons of Verania at his side.Īnd she brings along her second-in-command, a man named Ruv. A year has passed, and while Sam’s been captured five or six more times since then, things are pretty great. Once upon a time, the wizard’s apprentice Sam of Wilds got his happily ever after in the arms of his cornerstone, Knight Commander Ryan Foxheart.
