This is a Romance Series

Revisado: 12-16-24

I occasionally enjoy a good romance book. But, I was expecting an epic fantasy. I listened to the entire trilogy, I admit to more than a little eye rolling, but the story held my attention enough to finish. The last book, which is written by the main male characters perspective really didn't fill in all the holes I thought it would. If you are a big romance fan and don't mind a little bloody fighting, this is for you. If you are looking for a great epic fantasy story, give it a pass.

stunning twists,

Revisado: 11-28-24

Handmaid's Tale on steroids! This sounds like end future of J. D. Vance views. Pretty heavy stuff. Be ready for some horrific moment, some heartbreaking, some uplifting! I'm recommends this one ,and The One.

I didn't finish this book. Too Sci-Fi for me. But, this author is so fantastic, if you like Sci-Fi, I'm sure it will be a great read.

I Had To Check Authors Ages!

Revisado: 11-24-24

I spent my time re-reading the previous books while waiting for this one. After reading this one I guugled the authors ages to ensure they had enough time left to continue this series! Thankfully, they are both my age, mid 60's. So we should still have many years left to enjoy these 2 geniuses. I have been reading their Pendergast books for many years and must say, THIS one is the absolute best. Everything came together for a beautiful ending, I am worried the authors are closing out Pendergast... Please continur this series!. There are many complaints about the narrator, I think he gives a wonderful performance. He had to step into some huge shoes owing to the death of the prev narrator, and he portrays each charater so well I can see them in my mind as I listen. My only complaint, as another reviewer said, is I hope by the next book he learns how to pronounce D'Gosta's (sp?) name. Still kudos to this fantastic narrator.

Children's Book?

Revisado: 11-07-24

I'm not sure if this seemed like a children's story because the MC is a child, or because the narrator portrayed her so young. I checked the preview of the next book to see if the MC is older, no. I enjoy many young adult fantasy books, but honestly felt like this is a book I would have purchased for my grandchild.

Read in CRONILOGICAL order.

Revisado: 09-09-24

I stumbled upon this series when I read the Empress of the Empire trilogy that is part of this 31 book series. I then compounded the problem by using the publication date order. These can be read out of order because this ingenious author has the ability to not slip any serious plot lines. However, I still found myself asking What happened to so and so, and how did this character become this Lord? I'm on track now and thoroughly enjoying this series! This story about Jimmy The Hand is good, and I am so happy I did not skip it. But note this is more like a character fill in, with profoundly moving moments. My husband thought I'd lost my mind when I would suddenly burst out laughing while listening. I have to say I think this is the best narrator of all the books. Each character has their own voice, and I felt like I was listening to a movie. Once I finish this long series, I will read everything I can find by this author!

OUTSTANDING!

Revisado: 08-22-24

Usually by book 3 I'm finding myself with wandering thoughts. But I was spellbound until the very last word with this series. Magic comes late into the series, but wow, when it does it is phenomenal. if you look up the order of the books it is confusing. They are trilogies within a long series. Now that I understand, I will start the series properly. So happy to have discovered this author so late.

Not As Engaging

Revisado: 07-30-24

I loved the Red Sister series. This is engaging enough for me to maybe continue the series, but no where near like the other series. Narration was excellent. Very easy to differentiate character voices.

Lots of world and magic system building.

Revisado: 07-24-24

This is an introductory novel. All of the explaining how the magic worked got somewhat tedious. But I think the story will take off now, so I'm looking forward to starting the next book!

Def YA, but still ok.

Revisado: 07-08-24

The story held my attention. This is not an epic fantasy with twists and turns like some of Kate Elliot or Michael Winehart's book, but I enjoyed it enough to download the next book!
