Whale watching will never seem the same!

Fantastic.
Very few books have ever made me weep.

But the chorus of men upon the Waveblade holding true to their promise to repay the orcas for their help was so moving. I won’t spoil it for anyone …. All I will say is that I am glad I was listening to this as an audiobook. It brought me to tears for a good 15 minutes.

I had to stop listening and gather my wits before I could continue again. Beautiful writing, moving and certainly like nothing I have ever read before in a epic fantasy.

Bravo.
Ben Galley has a new fan girl.

Looking forward to starting the Scalussen series

Farden may be my new favorite antihero

Revisado: 09-27-23

Some early reviews may have suggested that the books or the writing or the story is simply rehashing the same old fantasy tropes… I dare anyone to read through this entire series and maintain that claim.

I LOVE these stories and these characters and each book draws them closer to my heart regardless if they are like able or not. I am attached emotionally.

The world of Emaneska would make for SUCH a great DnD campaign I can’t wait to read the Scalussen series.

And it continues …

Diving right back in after finishing the first book in this series I continued to enjoy Galley’s take on the genre and world building.

As relationships are formed and strengthened (or weakened) I have enjoyed discovering more about the characters and the magic, the territories and the alliances that exist in Emaneska.

The narrator is fabulous!

I can’t say enough great things about Ben Galley and his Emaneska Series starting with “The Written.” I am a long time fantasy/mythic fiction lover (Tolkien, Martin, Rothfuss, Gaiman). Galley’s writing style and take on the genre is engaging and immersive. His characters feel dimensional in a way that allows the reader to become attached to them emotionally and the world he has created feels as though there is so much more one could explore if given the time and opportunity to linger.

Thank you Ben Galley for welcoming me into this new world!

Great sci-fi/horror twists on a traditional copper thriller.

Love the genre bending in this well written novel. This was the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed her nuanced and delicate handling of the emotional aspects of each character as well as her ability to deftly carve large swaths of gruesome horror and anticipatory curiosity.

I must say however, this audiobook, I think was especially enjoyable due to the work of it's narrator, Tristan Gemmill. I listen to a good deal of audio books, including full cast narration, and I don't think I have ever heard a performance that has been as good as this. He read each character with such depth and emotion and the accents and voices we all so very different. It really was a PERFORMANCE.

Truly outstanding !
I'm looking forward to book 2.
