    About this audiobook

    With the publication of his first novel, The Hound of Rowan, Henry H. Neff won a huge readership eager for more of his wildly imagined fantasy series. In this riveting sequel, Neff expands on the world of his first novel and pens a work of even greater scope and complexity. When evil forces conspire to wield the Book of Toth, chaos breaks out-leaving the only hope for the future in the hands of the Rowan Academy's Max McDaniels and his trusted friend David Menlo.

    • 4/5
      The first in the series was a little immature in the writing style. This one was great, equivalent to Impyrium
    • 1/5
      There are way too many skips in the audio book
    • 4/5
      The demon Astaroth, freed from his prison at the end of the first book, has declared war on humanity. He is after the Book of Thoth, a book that would allow him to change the world.Max and his roommate Daniel journey from their school to Spain, Germany, and the land of the Sidh to find the Book before Astaroth does. Max finally discovers his heritage and finds out what happened to his mother.

      GoodReads Synopsis: GRAVE FORCES ARE converging to seize control of the Book of Thoth, a hidden artifact whose pages hold the key to creating—or unraveling—the very threads of existence. Under the care and tutelage of Cooper, Rowan’s most lethal Agent, Max McDaniels and David Menlo embark on a quest to protect the book from the demon Astaroth, who would exploit its secrets with dire consequence. And with Astaroth free after centuries of imprisonment, the world outside Rowan’s gates has already become hostile.Far from home, cut off behind enemy lines, Max and his allies must journey across Europe, descend into the fabled Frankfurt Workshop, brave the tangled corners of the Black Forest . . . and cross beyond the veils of our very world.My Thoughts: This story starts out a very short time after “The Hound of Rowan” leaves off. Our heroes are a year old but seem more than a year wiser. The challenges they face in Second Siege are much darker and scarier.While Siege seemed to start kind of slowly for me, it did speed up. Taking me along on a journey to find the Book of Thoth before Asteroth can get his hands on it. I was very impressed with the tone of this installment. Initially I thought this series was going to be geared toward the Jr. High set…and I think the first book really is. Second Siege, takes a decidedly darker and more adult tone. Also Neff is the rare author that doesn’t feel the need to tie up all the loose strings into pretty little bows! The ending is anything but a pretty little bow and Max and David have had to learn some really hard lessons.I love the direction this series is taking and can’t wait to dive into the third book, “The Fiend and the Forge”.
    • 4/5
      The Second Siege continues the story begun in The Hound of Rowan. Max continues to learn more about himself, and continues to progress and improve at a super-accelerated pace. It was hard to see him as a thirteen-year-old boy. David similarly acts much older than his physical age would indicate. For the most part, however, this wasn't more than a minor issue.Still some rough bits in the writing, and places where characters (usually minor ones) were acting rather out of character for how they'd been portrayed up to that point. Overall, though, a good read.
    • 3/5
      Better than the first novel, this one ranges further from a Harry Potter wanna-be and into it's own space. Max McDaniels and roomate David Menlo join forces against Astaroth, both sides seeking the Book of Thoth for their own purposes. Neff gives Astaroth surprising depth and interest.
