Magefall

The Kingfall Histories, Book 3

By: David Estes

Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds

Be bright but do not burn. Embrace the darkness but do not live in the shadows.

The secrets of Kingfall's mage prison, Lockspell, have been buried for far too long. When mages Quill and Rondo are sentenced to a lifetime of hallucinations in Lockspell, only their mettle, desire for justice, and a chance encounter can help them escape. But what they discover in doing so may leave them wishing they'd stayed.

In the north, King Jarrod Gaard faces an unexpected threat from the mages at Aeromand. Meanwhile, his counterpart in Solarii, Queen Rose Ontarii, must combat an even graver danger - one living within the bounds of her palace. To the east, Prince Sampson must adapt to the realities of losing his shadowblade and returning to the darkness, while his lifelong guardian, Roman, seeks to destroy the blade before it can destroy his ward. On the Lost Plains, Grym fights to maintain unity amongst the Grizari's Scattered Tribes as war brews with Avadon.

To the south, Dragonmaster Dane is reunited with someone from his past, someone from his present, and someone from his future, each of whom may shed light on the shadows that have clouded his mind ever since his bonding day. Unbeknownst to Dane, his bondmate, Dragonmistress Peony launches a rebellion to retake the dragon throne and tear down the dragon-human crossbreeds responsible for the destruction of Chrysallis. Finally, Ando seeks a new life for him and his men only to crash headlong into his worst enemy yet. Lurking in the shadows are the Thousands and their Unforgiven overseers. If the creatures that once plagued Kingfall find the light, none are likely to survive.

A little slow in places - but overall worth it!

Wonderful voices by Reynolds as always - I’m not sure the story would quite come alive as much - or be as easy to follow without him. Can’t wait for the next installment, even if it can drag a bit at times.

So-So

The interludes and prologues are like listening to a different book. It's parts of the story never brought up before or pays of the story that have never been explained, you just have to write notes to hopefully connect the dots. If I have to write notes to follow a story, I'm not interested. I'm listening to the prologue right now. I'm listening to a story about someone named Charlotte, this is my first time hearing about this character. I don't know where this character fits in the story. I enjoy many aspects of the series but there's also too much that really is like listening to a different book altogether and I do not like that. Don't know if I'll continue on.

continued excellence

really been loving this series! every book continues to entertain and leaves me wanting more

Great continuation

Strong character and world building experience enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for Nightfall next in this series.

Still great!

The story line is very good with one exception. The fall of the mages occurs w/o script. It goes from the fight at the isle of mages to the end w/o how it occured....unless the download skipped a chapter. Otherwise, this is one of the best epic tales I have ever read.

Great

Another 5 star book added to my favorite collection. Deep, tragic, suspenseful and joyous. can't wait for nightfall

Excellent series!

Clean, interesting and well fleshed-out characters and plot! This is a really enjoyable book that I highly recommend.

Fantastic

Love this series more than the fatemarked series. Much more gripping and entertaining! Can’t wait to listen to nightfall!

Great books

I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Make me want to ride a dragon.

very good

Audible requires at least fifteen words and so as an obedient servant of the Audible Empire, I repeat... very good.
