Order of Valxiron: A Sword and Sorcery Epic Fantasy

Chronicles of Pelenor, Book Three

By: Meg Cowley

Narrated by: Jack Voraces

Betrayal rules Pelenor - but will Harper betray herself to save those she loves?

Saradon rules Pelenor with an iron fist. The Court of Tournai is beholden to him. A new Order, loyal to the Dark One of Altarea, rises under his dominion.

Trapped under his control, Harper and Dimitri are forced to ally to survive, but neither can protect the other from Saradon's orders. Harper finds herself drawn into a darkness from which she cannot escape. Love and friendship endure even in the darkest times, but they may not be enough to turn the tide.

Her former companions cannot hope to save her, stranded in the dwarven realm of Valtivar. Korrin is determined to wrest control of the mountains back from Saradon and the goblin scourge, but the cost will be high, and the dwarves cannot prevail alone. Ragnar must decide where his loyalties lay; with the family he has chosen, or the kin bound to him by blood.

The companions know Erendriel's edicts; the only scraps of faint hope any of them can cling to, but Pelenor is without allies and falls from within. Aedon only sees one choice. He must journey far to beseech help from an unlikely ally - one who would sooner see Aedon dead than treat with him.

War comes for Pelenor. The Dark One of Altarea will have his dominion. Will Pelenor be the first to fall, or can Harper and her far-flung companions somehow avert catastrophe?

Continue the thrilling epic tale of the Chronicles of Pelenor in the penultimate Order of Valxiron to discover Pelenor's fate.

Things get a bit side trackex

The story gets a bit slogged down as the story jumps fr perspective to perspective that slows down the story, but series characters continue to get more fleshed out.

Another Winner!

Let me open with saying that i was under the impression this series was a trilogy, but at the end of Book three there is still so much story left for Mrs. Cowley to expand on, meaning im excited for the future of the series. Overall the development and paths of the characters took interesting turns to say the least. In my opinion the lets say "teased" main love focus for harper, that began to unfold in the last novel is not my favorite, I ship the goldenhearted Ex-Dragon Rider with a troubled past personally. This being said the story and development will overcome any personal choices the characters make that you may or may not agree with and if you sit tight till the end you'll be pleasantly surprised on what she leaves us with, or very upset. But either way the story is emotionally enthralling.

As Always Jack Voraces Continues to improve with every performance and will soon be one of the big Names in Narration, so far he has only gone forward and given his current body of work, i see that continuing for the long haul. I would highly suggest any novel he is the narrator of.

A great next step in the series

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

TLDR; Lighter in the action, and heavier in the world-building.

I really enjoy this series, it's not a series overly heavy in battles and combat, but still has a really great fantasy world built out of it. So far this might be the weakest book, it's not bad by any means, but it's a bit of a lull in the overall action. This has the feel of putting all the pieces in order and getting them where they need to be. You get a lot of world-building here, characters fleshing out their roles, meeting new allies/kinda allies. Building out the secret society, and the feel of the common folks. This adds a lot more depth to the world and gives things a more global perspective.

Overall, if you've enjoyed the rest of the series this is a great addition.

amazing series

this series is already amazing but the narrator just does an excellent job making an already great series into a masterpiece you want to listen to over and over again.

Great

Wow what an unlikely pair of allies! Harper and her nemesis pair up to survive. These stories just keep getting better. Full of action and suspense throughout the story.
