bloody hell!

Revisado: 11-28-24

if you've been reading or listening, or both from the beginning, this is an unexpected turn to get Calidor saved from the withering light. I forsee interesting avenues to restore a celestial mother to the Vandal. Arch Mage? Well, step one.

Why in the ever hateful hell did they cast a damned ENGLISHMAN to narrate a story framed in America?

oh the first book was so laborious. the second book was tolerable. this one was at least a cap on the whole affair. This was like " Charmed " for me. enteryaining but not worth a second look. Not a waste of money but not something you're going to revisit over the next decades like you do Tolkien or Hickman.

eh, Craig isn't OSC. he's stretching writing this.

it's good but not great. Honestly I find the blooper reels from R.C. to be at least funny. I HATED Independence Day. Yet I kept reading and listening to subsequent books. I do have faith in Craig's talent. I do think this series will improve. but sometimes I feel like Duke, The Gin and Boots are just Skippy having a psychotic break.

Heath Miller is an excellent narrator for this.

Revisado: 04-22-23

However Travis is meh as an author. I'm surprised he finally produced a book worthy of more than ten hours of audio. Seriously Travis, don't give Heath too much shade for making your books more interesting than your writing deserves. But like Asano, you have potential. Keep at it. As long as you don't muck it up too badly with current events I'll keep buying your books. I do recommend you read " The Goulog Archipelago " by Solzhenitsyn. Jason is obviously under educated. Though I am impressed by his reserve in taking on Stalinist authority.

Well it's not bad for a muckraker book.

The narrator did an excellent job. My issue is with the Author. He being of Indian descent obviously has an axe to grind with Europe over colonialism. What is happening, has as much to do with the culture of the Congolese as it does with the supply chain. Africa has been with the exception of Egypt largely aimless. There are hundreds of races and thousands of disparate tribal factions. I am not excusing Leopold or the big corporations. However, what is happening there is not a fault of capitalism. This is an example of the old mercantilism. And it only exists with the cooperation of the Congolese. Their self immolation will not end until they stand up as India did with the guidance of Ghandi. The whole continent suffers from corruption, religious fanaticism, and racism. Some places are better than others. But remember, the Congo was a mess before Leopold. The slaving was what brought the Europeans, not started by them. If the Chinese stay involved things will definitely get worse. If we could somehow encourage and get an honest government, even one like we see in the UAE then investment in schools and safe working environments would make more sense.

A worthy continuation of the Saga.

Revisado: 12-09-22

Terry Mancour has been imagining and writing his ass off for a better part of a decade and a half on this world. He has exceeded Stephen R Donaldson and Orson Scott Card in this genre. And unlike George R R Martin he stays committed to a universe and doesn't leave an audience in suspense for years, or in some cases forever. I suppose Terry isn't as obese as George. But I've never seen a picture of the former. Terry makes John Lee's performance as narrator much easier with a compelling script. My only criticism of Lee is that he's lost track somewhat of how he presents some characters. Otherwise he's a delightful voice actor who I hope may sometime consent to narrating one of my works if I can ever get them into a state worth publishing. If not there's always Brick... he'll narrate anything.

much better than I thought it would be.

Derrick Perkins is a narrator to whom it is easy to listen. This story doesn't get too obtuse like many authors trying to be clever inevitably write. I will probably listen to the whole series.

It's a fun series if not literarily significant.

Revisado: 07-01-22

laughs, plot twists, infantile humor. It's amazing how Shirtaloon has enough creative talent to cover for his elementary mindset. But this is an RPG novel series. I could see someone having a D&D group behaving much the same as characters here. It's a fun distracting listen.

Best one of the bunch .. so far.

Revisado: 06-27-22

I struggled through the first book, did better on the 2nd but this one made the story complete and made some more sense. Plot twists galore happen throughout the series. This book somewhat redeemed the series. I hate half the magic system (endowments).

Those giving bad reviews should be ashamed!

ORC wrote himself into a corner in previous novels and this ties everything up nicely. If you are a fan of the enderverse this is a must final read.
