Critic reviews

"Phenomenal from beginning to end!" (Zack Argyle, author of Threadlight)

Average

I saw tan advertisement for this book on facebook comparing it to Wheel of Time. It’s nowhere close. Character development was sporadic and didn’t follow a gradual increase in power and knowledge of main characters. If I had it to do over again I probably wouldn’t listen to this.

Meh

Story might be ok with a different narrator. Just can’t get past it. Just seems flat. Missing emotional connection to the characters.

No other book can match the plot twists and turns

The plot twists and turns.. the constant surprises. Thinking the characters will do one thing and they do the complete opposite plus a feigned right turn that is actually a left turn. it's fantastic. The evolution of the story really kept me interestered in the plot (I listenedto it virtually non stop between work and sleep. Really I picked it up.

Good story

A little slow moving but a good story. Worth the credit. I enjoyed the books.

First 2/3 are great

First 2 books are great! Last book I couldn't get past the first hour. Departed from the interesting story and plot lines to dive into personal relationships with the obligatory modern themes that had to be inserted. *eye roll*

Descent story TERRIBLE narrator.

The story is interesting, not overly GRANDIOSE.. but solid. Cool twists and turns to keep you interested. I think at times way too much introspection... over explaining simple concepts and feelings.. again and again.

Narrator ruins the books on Audio.. Monotone reading.. Same level of energy stiring the left over morning porridge as the intemse battles... none. Flat line.

Good as a value bundle for 1 credit.

Narrator is whispering through the entire thing

Listen while I'm at work and had to boost the volume by 50 percent just to hear the narrator

Great story line kept me wondering what the end would be

Loved the story and characters also how the author used history to develop the story line. Wished we learned more about the villains history. Overall a great story and enjoyable listen.

Good story, but some things seem backwards

This has been a good story, but somethings seem backwards to our own world. I know this is fiction come But the very last quote I heard about not bowing to our suppressors seems backwards to our own world. Why are we doing so now, Like china. It doesn't make sense that the fictional world here is becoming more free, and we are losing our freedoms everyday. Thank you for the story, but I think the narrator also needs to change to something more fitting. Thank you again

it's OK

the narrator sounds like he would be better suited for dark horror stories. There are times when it seems like he is whispering but the characters are just talking normal its very confusing. Couldnonly get through about 1/3 of the book and turned it off bored. The Story feels like a rip off of other fantasy stories like The way of kings, LOTR, game of thrones but not as interesting with similar vocabulary references even in chapter titles like "Part 5 the night of fire and ice" like really come on man. Might come back around to try again but not right now.
