After the war that cost him so much, Kylar Stern is broken and alone. He's determined not to kill again, but an impending amnesty will pardon the one murderer he can't let walk free. He promises himself this is the last time. One last hit to tie up the loose ends of his old, lost life. But Kylar's best—and maybe only—friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan’s new kingdom, and the king’s twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war.

Two things...
Reviewed: 06-21-23
First, this book is a tragedy, I know it says action adventure, but don't be fooled.
Second, Kylar is going to disappoint you throughout the entire book, especially if you read the original trilogy. Kylar is barely recognizable to me, but it has been awhile since I read the original three books.

Good overall but a few issues.

Just a few hangups that might bother some people. I'll probably continue with the series... I'm three books in, and I need to vent. I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum, but stop here if you don't want anything given away.
First off, Op Sec is a mess. Halfdan, for example, is well known among the ghost circles despite the fact that each ghost should only know 2 other ghosts in their circle. The exception is circle masters who know everyone in the circle. Halfdan knows multiple circle masters and several operatives... Why then is Halfdan allowed to work as a field operative, the possibility of him being captured is a MASSIVE security risk.
Second, Cayna is supposed to be smart and observant. When a thrown dagger is deflected by a magus and the magus then tells her he's warded himself against steel weapon. Cayna should not respond with sneaking up behind him and attempting to stab him in the back with a steel dagger less than 2 minutes later.
Lastly, if you know you're going to be fighting someone with steel deflection, come up with a counter measure beforehand. There are other metals that hold an edge other than Iron and Iron alloys. Hell make a stone knife if that's what it takes.

Gryff never knew he was the most powerful summoner in the world until a rogue monster attacked his village. Now he's been recruited into the top magical academy, beautiful women are breaking down his dorm-room door, and the headmaster has big, big plans for him. Instead of summoners being maligned by society, Gryff is in a position to make them revered and honored.

story not very good

Very meh... mild spoilers ahead

I Can't really get behind Griff. He has a bit of a cocky/bratty attitude that makes me wish I could punch him more often than not. The "school bully" isn't much of a bully he just spouts some elitist BS most of the time and walks off. Griff and his friends do worse things to said "bully" and it kinda makes me wonder who is suppose to be the bad guy in the story. Further more, Griff seems to be a bit of a mary sue, no real mistakes made or lessons learned on his part that jump to mind. That said I do get a chuckle here and there and I do enjoy power fantasy stories once in awhile.

Interesting Characters and a good amount of twists
Reviewed: 12-14-17
I like a book that keeps me guessing, this book achieved that. Characters felt like the had depth rather than one emotion that defines them. This book is more intrigue oriented than action oriented. You action junkies have been warned.

In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

Lot better than I thought it would be

Summary as a little vague, but not a bad story
Reviewed: 08-10-17
* Jeff Hays does a great job as usual.
* I did enjoy this book even though it took a few chapters to get going.
* Not all characters are developed equally but I felt they were unique enough to pass muster.
* Action is sprinkled about at regular intervals.
* The main character has a pretty insane power but is more or less balanced out by the fact that he's nearly useless on is own.
* I think it is safe to assume there will be a sequel since a good deal of questions remain unanswered at the end.
