Portals of Infinity

Demigods and Deities, Book Five

By: John Van Stry

Narrated by: Dusty Rhoades

Life can be complicated for those who the gods pick as their champions, and for William, it's really no different. Between dealing with issues at home for his god Feliogustus, to helping Queen Rachel defend Hiland against the growing threat of Barassa, to being loaned out to other gods in other spheres, William has been kept busy.

Many of these tasks have had consequences however. Some of those William expected, and for one of them the time has come to deal with it and a trip back to Sireen may soon be in order. Complicating that matter however are those who are holding a grudge against William for his thwarting of their actions. But when the followers of another god kidnap his youngest child, William's first question is, is this revenge, or is there something special about his child? With both his god, and the goddess Aryanna mostly mute on the issue, beyond their one command to keep the child "hidden", William wonders what it is they won't say, and why.

As always, there are things you need to take on faith when you work for a god, but sometimes their responses can be very frustrating. Especially when they order you not to ask questions, but the welfare of your own child is involved. Add to that some equally strange discoveries about his old foe Cenewyg back on Earth, which are also affecting his life and William is left with more questions than for which he has answers.

I love this series, but this audiobook was bad

Good story, nice character growth, expanding world. I love this series and looking forward to the next.

The audiobook version however was horrible!! Much shorter than what I normally listen to, even when it was obvious that the narrator was extending it artificially. There are many unreasonable pauses in the recording. And more than a few were so long that I checked to be sure that the audio didn't stop.

don't get me wrong I love the story

I completely love this series I've listened to the first couple of books multiple times but I almost almost stop listening to this book because of the huge pauses that the narrator kept taking at the beginning of the book after a while I stopped noticing it but still it was good I enjoyed it very much despite the narrator

Push through

Still hate the narrator he does a real crummy job on this book the pauses Really badd editing They used to have a good narrator But O well the series is still good Just have to push through it If you have done this far in the book series you're not going stop the book is great just crummy narrator

great story

the author in this book has a weird long pause between each sentence. Also thanks audible for Scamming me into buying this book twice by not labeling this book as bought even though I did yrs ago and forgot until I started listening again. that said this is a very good series.

Good

Great book! Another interesting book in the Portals of Infinity series! Great story, cool characters!

good story

really enjoyed this book. the narration still isnt perfect but the story is intersting enough to make up for it

I love this world

The narration felt slightly stilted like he was reading of a teleprompter that was going slightly too slow. So that would pull me out of the book at times. But overall I think Dusty Rhoades did a great job. Thanks for helping to bring the world John Van Stry has shared with us to life.

Excellent Story!

Another excellent step in the series! The characters are continuing to grow and becoming more and more interesting. As always I can’t wait for the next audiobook. Dusty takes a while to get into form in his narration and it certainly does detract from the first few chapters. After that he settles in and does an excellent job. I love this series and the characters in it which is pretty much what I say about each series of John-Van-Strys that I am currently following. So I sincerely recommend this series and book!

Another good book

Thos was a good continuation of the series. I really like this author and the series. The narrator has gotten better, but still not great. worth listening to.

Very disappointed

The voice acting of this book is horrible very disjointed and hard to follow because of the voice actor was very disappointed the previous books were great and was really looking forward to this book couldn’t even get past the first chapter due to how poorly it was read
