A Necessary Heresy

Instrument of Omens, Book 3

De: Davis Ashura

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

Prophesized heroes are reborn. The burden they bear is as terrible as it is necessary.

The dead city of Mahadev. In 3,000 years, none who have entered those ageless walls have returned to bear word of what evil lurks within. And yet it is there that Cinder and Anya must journey. A hard road with mysteries and dangers abounding.

And the greatest of those perils is imprisoned within the ruined temple at the very center of the necropolis’ dark heart. There, Cinder and Anya are given insight into the terrifying truth the world faces. It is an evil so vast that even the dark god Shet must bow before its will. It is the bringer of apocalypse, the ender of civilizations. If ever freed, the world will be helpless before its horrific power.

Forging an alliance all would have rather avoided, Cinder and Anya have no choice but to work with Shet to take on this greater enemy. Worse, it is a pact that will see them give away that which they hold most precious.

whens the next one?

cant wait, kept me enternained enough, nick p has a great range , 5 stars

Vivid and Detailed, can't say enough great

If you loved how Mercedes Lackey could bring together character from different series you will love this one. It takes a deft hand to weave together multiple stories, plots and time lines so fluidly.
Like all his works the details and vivid. I can not say enough good about this book.
*there are some flash back sequences so do pay attention and not zone out.

Very good progression fantasy with romance elements

This series continues to be a very solid progression fantasy with heavy elements of romance that are done tastefully and right. Knocked to 4 stars due to the large number of changing POVs to characters who ultimately do little more than provide exposition. Still well worth the credit/cash. Looking forward to the 4th!

Books one and two were great !

I did not enjoy Book 3 as much as 1 and 2. Hopefully book 4 will be better

I Cannot Believe This Series Keeps Getting Better!

I love how the character development has grown from one book to the next. I love that the growth of each character feels natural. They do a great job of expanding their powers without them being overpowered. The progression feels natural and you look forward to each unlocking of a new talent.

It's a great story but...

It's a great Story but my only issue is that the main character despite choosing the path of a warrior complains so much about having to kill. Even when the ones who have to die are murderers, rapists, and those who would enslave the innocent. I find th main character's whining to be very annoying in this regard. \\\\\\\SPOILER ALERT////////// especially for man whos lived as long as this man and has killed as much. Eventually you become cold and callus or you learn to compartmentalize. As a combat vet myself I know the type of guilt that comes with war and though conflict is often not a preferred outcome, I don't know any man who regrets putting an end to those the world are better without.

Fantastic!!

loved this book and series!! Nick is incredible 👏 He makes all his work very enjoyable!!

Strange choice in the story but good overall

spoilers ahead

Most of the story was enjoyable. The action scenes and most character interactions are a joy. Before a critical point in the story, for me there was way too much mushy gushy love between Cinder and Anya. Then the reason for them forgetting many of their memories seemed unnecessary and annoying. It was obvious they should not trust this demon but they did anyway.

Good series utterly ruined by sound effects

I love Nick as a narrator and have never once had cause to complain. until now. I won't even finish the book. the disgusting and grating noises attached to a witch and demon are so offensive and irritating that I had a physical reaction. I could not rip the headphones out of my ears fast enough. the sounds are things obnoxious 10 year Olds would do to annoy someone. story is good. if you liked the previous books, this one is a great advancement of the story. all the previous series finally starting to be woven together and they are very well done excepting the unoriginal names of things such as weaves. but omg what were you thinking???? those noises are unacceptable. at the least you should have used real sound effects of some kind and not made disgusting idiotic noises from your mouth. pathetic. I say again, I love nick. listened to dozens of his narrations. ditching this series since I can't finish this book. let's not let this happen again.

What a great ride and it's not over yet.

What a great ride and it's not over yet. Great characters and a great story. Nick is great as well, can't wait for more.
