I enjoyed this, though less so than the first book.
One of the problems with Book 2 of a fantasy series that's planned to be at least a trilogy is that it can contract Two Towers Syndrome, and be about people moving around and getting in position for the next book. We've had our introductions in Book 1, now Book 2 is "people travelling and their adventures along the way".

Ok, so I listened for free on librivox and I wouldn't say it's the best book I've ever read, but for a free one...it's great. It's interesting and a bit of a different take on magic and elves. I still love the idea of the Right and Left Hand. The narration (by the author) is honestly the best part and he may actually be one of my favorite narrators, the first two being Jim Dale and RC Bray (two of the very best IMO). That ending though...Dang you, Meagher!

This book was enjoyably slow, taking it's time to describe the legends, the science, and the action of the events that happen. I was slightly disappointed that the timeline of the book was so short, but the action described on their journey fascinated me and the twists in the book was exciting. I greatly enjoyed this book and I recommend it for a great fantasy adventure. I'm really glad to head John is continuing with his world.

The worst thing about this book is that the next one doesn't appear to be available yet! I thoroughly enjoyed this second book--it's a fine followup to the first one. I'm hoping Book 3 is not far off...

This book was awesome. I laughed. I got all teary and I even embarrassed the fool out of myself by shouting in celebration with the characters. All things I haven't done in nearly 18 years of reading. The last time was all the way back in 7th grade. Lol I loved this book.

John is a graphic designer and voice-over artist, who started writing Tales of the Left Hand as a side project to give himself practice narrating longer pieces of work, such as audiobooks. The demo he put together using excerpts from Book One has led to a number of professional narration jobs, now available on Audible. But he also discovered that Left Hand had taken on a life of its own, and there
