Love the series, this one was a great installment.

Unfortunately the narration was not for me.

It's not fair to say things were "mispronounced" in a fantasy series with a bunch of made up magical words... but when the previous narrator has established a way to say a word it's jarring to hear it said differently. Magocracy with a hard G being the worst, which gets "fixed" half way through when suddenly the soft G makes a triumphant return.

In addition the halting cadence is difficult listen to, 1.7x speed helps.

The story is worth it though.

It came off like a "10 ways" article... and more than half is stocks.

I've been wavering about reading this book. Not sure why, but so glad I did! It was great, as was the narrator!

This was incredible, I hope they don't screw up the movie.

There's a movie? There'd better be!

The only flaw is not having more. That's it.

I made it to the middle of the book before I found out I was in the third installment.

Still happy with it... going to look for book 4.

Great take on "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court" meets "The Patriot"

Great series so far, it manages to play out the whole "passing of the mantle" theme without being overly corny.

There are enough grim and dark stories where all the characters die and you're left saying "Well now what!?" This whole series from the beginning plays out like a 90s TV show where you know all the main characters have long contracts. Pure, satisfying "cheer for the good guys" steam punk & magic action.

Personal Prediction: The power of mages relies on their ability to sleep while conscious. To focus and dream while they are mostly awake. It explains some of how they manipulate the world Illusion. You saw it here first!

Excellent dark-ish story. Bit of a batman feel to it. I find it challenging for authors to keep things interesting when the hero is so amazing. Kel kept it on point and I'm impressed. I could have done without the "Predator" nod... but we all get our inspiration from somewhere.

Onto Nick, this guy could read soup labels and I would buy them on audible. I will stay with this story as the books continue, hopefully Nick will stay on the series too!

65 hours is a big commitment but I found it was worth it. I normally see plot turns a mile away... this book had a good mix of "Martin" wtf moments and "Tolkien" style triumphs. I loved how there was a clear dark side (nether) and light side (ether) of magic but there was no particular alignment or morality attached to the use of any magic. Casting is uncomplicated which is great. Some ethermancers are slavers while our hero will gladly animate the dead in order to free the enslaved and protect his city state.

Good/bad/life/death/righteousness/fury... it all gets jumbled in a very human experience full of narrow escapes and stupid smirks...
