I adore Ryl!

My love affair with Ryl may have started when I met him in the first book in this series, A Tribute at the Gate: Catalyst... but it just grows stronger, page by page, as Fulcrum of Light unspools it's secrets. The first thing that happens is that Ryl and his... what, Mercenary? Bodyguard? Friend? have to find their way out of the outlands, and time is not on their side! This is a grueling trek of endurance and fighting, and it was just the thing my action loving heart thrives on! It's only after they find succor that the pacing slows down, and we learn so much more about Ryl and his blood magic, as he begins his training for real!
Soon after that, CJ Aaron pushes the "pedal to the metal" and zooms to an awesome finale!
I know that I've said this before, but Travis Baldree is absodamnlutely the perfect choice to tell us Ryl's story!!!

Great follow-up

Try to stop listening even when you get off work and go home. I bought all three can't wait for the 4th.

Fast Paced and Epic

I loved the first book in this series, and this one is just as good, it picks up right where the first one left off and goes at a great pace from start to finish, I cant wait for the third book to come out!

Great Sequel

I'm loving this series so far. I can not wait for the next book in the series. Great writing and narration.

amazing series.

this has been an awesome experience to listen to. the lows and highs were well thought out and written.

Excellent

Fantastic follow up after the first book. This is a great series so far, and I am highly anticipating the rest of the story.

Fantastic Continuation

Fulcrum of Light is a fun and fantastic continuation to the story started in Tribute at the Gates, picking up right where the original left off. The story continues to rise while still including more worldbuilding that reveals more, but not all, of the secret history that lead this world to present the situation. There are hints at deeper, darker truths to come about the origin of Ryl and the other Tributes powers. While Ryl attains a place of temporary safety in this portion of the story and continues to grow in power and as a person and leader, he faces very real and human challenges in addition to the monsters of the world. Ryl's story is not over yet, and I think the most interesting revelations are yet to come. Looking forward to the rest of this series and highly recommend it.

Very cool book!

Travis Baldree does this one justice. I read the first in this series and will probably listen to the next one. I follow along on Kindle Unlimited when I read and Travis does this better than I do when I read it in my own head. This is a great audiobook.

it continues

Ryk’s story continues and Baldree delivers Aaron’s amazing words. I maintain that this is a fantasy story unlike any other I’d read.

Medieval Jedi meets Medieval Sith

Awesome next book in the series and a great listen. Character development is awesome and amazing to see the main character grow and discover his abilities. The next book should be awesome and I can wait!!!
