About this listen

The highly anticipated sequel to The Frost Eater, a post-apocalyptic YA fantasy novel reviewers called “a wild ride” that “sizzles along to an unexpected end” with “heavy-hitting action,” “magic and dragons,” and “a touch of romance.”

•••

Nora, Krey, and Ovrun rescued vine eater Zeisha Dennivan from magical enslavement. But none of them are truly free.

They’re stuck in the ancient city of Deroga. Together, they must protect the city’s trogs from the vengeful king.

The ongoing conflict is changing them all. Krey and Zeisha don’t truly know each other anymore — he hungers for battle, while she dreads it. Nora and Ovrun are closer than ever, but with her destined to take the crown, their futures are at odds.

And one of the four friends is keeping a terrible secret that will alter everything when it comes to light.

The king expands his army, preparing to vanquish Deroga. Even with two dragons on their side, the teens and trogs will be hard-pressed to defend themselves.

It’s not just the city at stake. It’s the future of Cellerin…and the fates of four hearts.

The Vine Eater takes what you loved about The Frost Eater and kicks it up a notch, with more magical action, heart-pounding romance, and thrilling flights with dragons.

Devour it today.

Unexpected Twists

I liked the first book, but I REALLY enjoyed this one! There were quite a few unexpected twists that completely threw me off. The story progressed well and I liked some of the character development. Worth a listen!

Fantastic continuation of the trilogy!

As the story continues, it becomes painfully clear that the King of Cellerin has completely lost his mind. The King decides he wants to completely destroy Deroga, the home of the Trogs, and the battle for their survival ensues. The world building is fantastic and the book is so well written that even when I wasn't listening to it, I was wondering what was going to happen next. The narration is superb and the character inflection brings each character to life. I can't wait to see how this ends! Great story!

The adventure continues and just keeps getting better!

We've got a second installment of the Magic Eaters Trilogy that doesn't disappoint.
The world that kept having more details and intriguing characteristics was still there with still more magic to uncover. The characters and their experiences came back to tell us more about each of them (and some had pretty big secrets!) and how they were dealing with the aftermath of the first book events. The writing that sometimes is very relatable, others very powerful and can even make us think about important things. The dragons! The trogs! The seer and her dilemma! Cruine! The cover! I could go on and on...

Listening to the book read by the author makes for a different experience. For one, you know how to pronounce all the names right and, secondly, this may be t he author of the book but she’s also a very good narrator.

And now I need to know what happens next! Like, I really need to know!

I was just a little sad the excerpts at the beginning of each capter weren't from the Diary as in The Frost Eater because I didn't found this ones so interesting but that's a minor thing. I also didn't get as sucked in at first but after getting more into the story I read almost the whole thing in 2 days!

All in all, a book that deserves a lot of exclamation marks from this reader who's not the greatest fan of Fantasy.

An exciting follow up to The Frost Eater

This was an exciting follow up to The Frost Eater. Nora, Krey, Ovrun and Zeisha are stuck in Deroga with the trogs, hiding from Nora's father, the King. But the King isn't just going to leave them in peace and when he starts destroying the trog clans' home, the four plan to fight for everyone's freedom.
I really enjoyed the Darogan Chronicle snippets and how they gave a little insight into the past.
It ended quite suddenly but the epilogue leaves you wanting to read book 3, The Stone Eater as soon as possible.

Plenty of action

Book 2 in the series gives us plenty of action, with a dash of romance. If listening on audio be sure to pay attention to which chapter of which character is talking because it can get confusing for just a second. I can’t wait to hear book 3!
