With Age of Myth, Age of Swords, and the New York Times best-selling Age of War, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan riveted fans with a tale of unlikely heroes locked in a desperate battle to save humankind. After years of warfare, humanity has gained the upper hand and has pushed the Fhrey to the edge of their homeland, but no farther. Now comes the pivotal moment.

Narrator too close to Mic?
Revisado: 02-07-23
The story is a step down from previous books in the series, somewhere between 3 and 4 ⭐️. Maybe due to the emotional ending it landed on 4 😂.
Unfortunately, often times it sounded like the air from the narration on the microphone. A side from that, great performance.

Historia
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Children book or pre-teen?
Revisado: 01-28-23
This seems to be a book for children set in a Halloweenish world (i.e. macabre but not really scary). I didn’t like the world it is set in, the characters or the plot. The narration annoyed me to begin with, but I believe it quite well fit the story. I stopped 2/3 into the story - I really gave it a try due to all the high ratings, but had to give up.

Historia
On the Day of Reckoning, the witches of Eileanan were outlawed - and violations of the new order were punishable by death. Eileanan’s Great Towers, once meccas of magic and learning, were left in ruins. And now, the entire land trembles in fear. Yet deep in the mountains, in the shadow of Dragonclaw, a young girl is being tutored in the old ways. Ignorant of her past, uncertain of her future, the foundling Isabeau will soon be forced down a dangerous path of prophecy, conspiracy, and magic.

It takes some time to get used to the accent
Revisado: 12-29-20
I almost put this book down, due to the narrators heavy accent and a 5 min history-of-the-land recap in the beginning of the book, that I had to re-listen, since my mind had wandered of. But I am glad I endured the beginning. From then on I just enjoyed every minute, even the accent ;-).

A blade fit for a hero. An army for a tyrant. A reckoning long awaited, and a tale reaching its end. The riveting conclusion to the Wolf of the North trilogy.

Disappointing ending
Revisado: 10-01-20
I would have given this story 4 stars had it not been for the ending. It was so out of place with regard to the rest of the plot. In 3 full books (beside the ending) challenges are easily overcome, and our great hero prevails. Given that the rest of the story was not as “realistic” or dark as other fantasy stories (e.g. by Martin, Lawrence, Abercrombie) this came as a complete surprise and took the joy out of the read.

Historia
They came against her as a child. Now they face the woman. The ice is advancing, the Corridor narrowing, and the empire is under siege from the Scithrowl in the east and the Durns in the west. Everywhere, the emperor’s armies are in retreat. Nona faces the final challenges that must be overcome if she is to become a full sister in the order of her choice. But it seems unlikely that Nona and her friends will have time to earn a nun’s habit before war is on their doorstep.

Same same - for audible listen at 1.25 speed

In this trilogy the story had more substance than his previous trilogies, but I missed the cheeky language, that made me love his previous books. Any way definitely worth a read 😊. Looking forward to Lawrence‘s next work 😋

Historia
The second novel in the brilliant new series from the best-selling author of Prince of Thorns. In Mystic Class, Nona Grey begins to learn the secrets of the universe. But so often even the deepest truths just make our choices harder. Before she leaves the Convent of Sweet Mercy, Nona must choose her path and take the red of a Martial Sister, the grey of a Sister of Discretion, the blue of a Mystic Sister or the simple black of a Bride of the Ancestor and a life of prayer and service.

I’m actually starting to like the narration (at 1.25 x speed, else it would be unbearable), so I have added one star for Performances since book 1 :-)

Historia
At the Convent of Sweet Mercy, young girls are raised to be killers. In a few the old bloods show, gifting talents rarely seen since the tribes beached their ships on Abeth. Sweet Mercy hones its novices' skills to deadly effect: it takes 10 years to educate a Red Sister in the ways of blade and fist. But even the mistresses of sword and shadow don't truly understand what they have purchased when Nona Grey is brought to their halls as a bloodstained child of eight, falsely accused of murder - guilty of worse.

I had a hard time with the speed and voice of this narration. Putting it on 1.25 speed saved it for me, and after half a book I got used to it.
The story is brilliant!
