The Sanctuary of Eldon

World of Samar, Book 5

By: M.L. Hamilton

Narrated by: Kelley Hazen

Talar doesn’t believe in prophecies and he certainly doesn’t believe he is the subject of one. He wants nothing more than to be a husband and a father, but the world has other expectations. When the Kazden Cult bring him information that his son is in the hands of the despotic King of Sarkisian, Talar realizes that nothing he desires counts any longer. He must brave the dragon’s maw and rescue him, no matter what the prophecy says.

And yet Terra Antiguo beckons—the hope that one day he might find a safe haven, perhaps not for the people of Nevaisser, but for himself and his family. Can he ignore the call of his father’s legacy and be simply a man?

Continue the adventure with the fifth installment in the World of Samar series.

Great Read

The Sanctuary of Eldon (World of Samar #5) was a great read by M.L. Hamilton. Tamar not only doesn’t believe in prophecies but he doesn’t believe he is the subject of one either. He just wants to be a husband and father, but the world expects more. The Kazden Cult brings him information that his son is in the hands of the King of Sarkisian. Talk realizes he must rescue his son, no matter what the prophecy says. Terra Antigua beckons, the hope that he may find a safe haven one day for himself and his family. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Excellent Read from the World of Samar

I find that whenever I start one of these books things start to happen in my house that are extremely un-natural.....like dust bunnies the size of my German Shepard start running across the floor, dishes start spilling out of the sink, and clothes start creeping out of the hamper like they've given up hope and are going to crawl to the washer on their own. These books are so good, I lose all track of time!

The 5th book in the series is no exception. I loved the characters brought over from the 4th book even more than the previous books main characters (these are their children). If you don't call yourself a fan of Fantasy Fiction, but you love all of ML Hamilton's other series.....READ THIS SERIES!!!!! I have never been a fan of this genre, but I read it because it was given to me and I didn't have anything else to read at the time. I am a HUGE fan of ML's books and this series is no exception.

Kelley Hazen is one of my favorite narrators. She does an excellent job of pulling you into the story. She's very good about giving the character's their own voices, so you know exactly who is speaking at the time. I've had books where the narrator reads the character's voices in the same tone and it makes it hard to follow along with who is saying what. Kelley is an amazing narrator and you will definitely not have that issue when she's telling the story. I can't wait for the 6th book to be released!!!!!

An Awesome Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it to be my new favourite of the series. Talar is a changed man, and he has one mission to get all his family together and find Terra Antiguo and live in peace. But first he must fix his marriage to Shara. As his small party of travelers grows, he gets closer to dream, but he also has to face all his fears. The growth of the characters and the plot in this book pulls you into the story to the point where it is hard to turn it off. This series has something for everyone, suspense, drama, mystery, humour and a touch of romance. This combination of author and narrator creates pure enjoyment. Looking forward to next book.

Wow! Just Wow!

Talar has traveled for years, studied under The Kazden Cult, and has been living his life in a nomad-like manner. Now he longs for nothing more than to settle down and be a husband and a father. To accomplish this, he must first rescue his son from an evil tyrannical King. Then he must find and settle down in Terra Antiguo to raise his family. There’s some unfinished business from his past that has something else planned.

M.L. Hamilton has carefully woven a story focused on several strong characters and an equally strong plot with unique twists. With each book, Hamilton has not only captured the attention of her listeners/fans but activated their imagination as they explore and experience this world. Filled with adventure and action, one cannot help but be drawn into the story. As a storyteller, Hamilton is a rare author that is both entertaining and delivers powerful messages.

As narrator, Kelley Hazen is magnificent. She is consistent from book to book with individualized voices that reflect the true essence of each character. She projects the emotions of each character in rich tones and steady cadence. With each situation in this book, Hazen maintained a smooth delivery and kept the story moving forward.

The collaborative work between Hamilton and Hazen has proven, once again, that they are a powerful team. The contributions of Hamilton and Hazen continue to provide an intense, adventure/fantasy. Both handle those jaw-dropping moments with grace and professionalism.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and crisp.

Fascinating

Once again the author and the Narrator have done an amazing job. Talar just wants to live a quiet life with his family. Unfortunately there’s danger instead.
