The Frith Chronicles: ARC I

The Frith Chronicles Collection, Book 1

By: Shami Stovall

Narrated by: Brian Wiggins

This omnibus contains the first three novels of the Frith Chronicles, all of which are also sold separately:

• Book 1: Knightmare Arcanist
• Book 2: Dread Pirate Arcanist
• Book 3: Coliseum Arcanist

Volke Savan has always wanted to be an arcanist - someone who has bonded with a mystical creature and is capable of wielding magic. Phoenix arcanists can create fire and heal, hydra arcanists can create poison and recover from most injuries, and knightmare arcanists are masters of shadow and fear.

After bonding with a mystical creature, Volke travels to the mainland, fighting through pirates, tournaments, and dastardly scoundrels, all to follow in the footsteps of legendary swashbucklers and heroes alike.

Critic reviews

"Knightmare Arcanist by Shami Stovall was rollicking good fun! Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for." (Seattle Book Review)

"Dread Pirate Arcanist was everything I had hoped it would be, and then some." (Coffee Pot Book Club)

"Building on the fantastic story and characters of the previous installments, Coliseum Arcanist is a brilliant continuation of the Frith Chronicles as well as a triumph in its own right." (ManyBooks)

Wanting more!

The world building is great and the magic system is great. I like how all the Eldrins have different magic and abilities. If you like Pokemon and magic adventures then I recommend the arcanist series. I'm curious what other Eldrins the author can come up with. I do hope more people start liking this series. I want more people to talk to about this. Even some movie or TV show would be fun.

THIS IS A MUST READ

One of the best fantasy series I have ever read perfectly written and masterfully narrated I have listened to the whole series 5 times now and it just keeps getting better!! do yourself a favor and download this book

Amazing Books!

the storyline keeps you on your toes and leaves no loopholes. Very well thought out and the voice acting is like none other. I couldn't stop listening. ❤️

audio issues

A fantastic story for fantasy fantatics and those with a sense of wanderlust. Loving the story and the migcal mystical animals and their bonds with arcanist and all the colorful, unique and sometimes dark places they visit. My one major issue, was with random audio issues. Certain things like, chapter titled were very loud as well as certain very brief characters. I had a hard time listening due to the audio book after book 1 being significantly quieter... It was frustrating at times but I finished the arc. I'm glad I did and I will go onto the next book hoping the audio issues have been resolved.

patchy

I loved the books 1 through 3, and the reader was amazing. However, the narrator would constantly sound good and then suddenly be very loud, then suddenly very quiet. I keep my headphones at a set volume so I don't hurt my ears but it hurts when the narrator suddenly cuts in loud, almost shouting narrations.

I like the special effects for the combined voices of Vulc and Luthair.

Essentially everything was good, but the narrator needed to have a set volume and turn the gain down on whatever microphone he was using when shouting and turn it back up when speaking normally.

Great Magical & Monster Story

Saw a post on Insta from the author Shami Stovall basically saying she liked Pokémon as a kid but wanted something more mature. While that is an oversimplification of this series, it was enough to perk my interest and then the 1st book hooked me in. I’ve loved Brian Wiggins portal of the characters and the over all audible experience. Will def be listening to more from Shami and eventually happy to add the physical copies to my own book shelves.

Audio is a bit glitchy at times, but a good listen

The audio is a bit glitchy, super quiet at sometimes and super loud at others. But it is a good listen.

the best book I've ever listened too!

these three books in one audiobook were some of the best books I've ever listened to I didn't want the book to end I never wanted to stop listening. I'll admit when I first started the series the first half hour or so I did not like the narrator but then I did realize that he was portraying how young and naive the main character was when he was speaking and after that the book became a lot better. all the characters and the story lines really drew you in and I loved every moment!!

This was a good series

This was a good series. I waited till I finished them all before dropping a review. There were many reviews complaining about the main characters and how they were whiny and complained about their situation all the time. But that's just it these characters are young and their orphans with no positive out look on life. Which is exactly where you want them when your getting into an 8 book series. The character growth is great. Every book they grow and become more developed. Don't give up on them in the first book. There was alot of thought put into the magical creatures and their abilities. I would recommend this series.

The twist and turns really keep the story interesting.

I really liked that all characters in the story were highly fleshed out. With Volke having a unique connection with each one .
