About this listen
Crowns come with a steep price.
On the surface, Reshner is experiencing a time of peace and prosperity, but trouble is brewing.
Reshner’s Royal Ranger: Prince Terosh goes on an epic journey to prove himself as a man. Reia Antellio does everything in her power to protect the prince.
Reshner’s Royal Threat: The political threats facing the royals spill over into violence.
Reshner’s Royal Guard: The Royal House falters, but hope remains.
The Royal House faces threats from without and within. Even the anotechs - fabled god-machines - will be hard-pressed to save the royals this time.
The Anotech Chronicles series is epic science fiction. We’re talking maps, glossaries, a whole new world, and a lot of characters. If that scares you, check out some of my tamer series. If this is your thing, give it a go.

Story
It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

Story
Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Story
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Anotech Chronicles: Books 1-3
A unique set of stories with so many characters and details. I have to admit, there were times I felt a little lost, but it was so worth it to stick with it. I’m sure I missed things along the way, and I’m looking forward to listening again to capture it all.
I have been a fan of Julie C. Gilbert’s writing for years. She knows how to really build a detailed and complex setting with great characters.
Liz Brand did a great job with the narration. Her pacing and different voices for the characters made for an entertaining listen.

Sci-fi with an epic fantasty feel
Intriguing and unique premise and world building combined with a rich cast of characters and loads of exciting action make this a noteworthy read. The first book focuses on Prince Terosh's Kireshana—or “renewing fire journey”. He is accompanied by Reia, a royal ranger. This reads much like a classic fantasy quest, except for the nanobots, or anotechs, which are sufficiently advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic and their weapons. Danger, forbidden love, and burgeoning political intrigue that goes far beyond what the young prince and his ranger suspect.
Book 2 and 3 bring in far more technology and have more of a galactic spanning feel. All that groundwork that was laid in book 1 comes to fruition here, often in unexpected ways. In some ways it reminds me of Star Wars in how the individual planets vary so much with their technological levels but were still integral playing pieces in the political machinations of the star system. As a note, anotechs are nothing like metacholrians and this is in no way a derivative work, just the technological contrasts and struck me as being similar.
This is epic storytelling spanning generations, and there is a lot of information to absorb, especially in the beginning, but as you continue on it starts to fill in and make sense and the complexity keeps growing. Once it started to come together I was hooked and deeply drawn into this world.
Liz Brand's narration suits the book well. She uses a variety of voices and accents so that it is always easy to tell who is talking. Just don't try to identify the accents, think of them as alien and that is that. I like the emotion and excitement she brings to the book too. This is an honest and voluntary review of an ARC

Anotech
Anotech Chronicles are futuristic/other worldly stories. I can see a lot of work went into the world building and character development. At times I got lost, but keep going, and got sucked back in. I recommend reading/listening to these stories when you can be fully focused, these are not for multitasking, you will miss important details. There is a sense of political intrigue suspense, and romance. I love the concept of anotech, and can just imagine how it could impact lives, and how others would want it for themselves. Anotech are like nanobots which can perform some amazing things, functioning to heal, as weapons, and like magic. Anotech secrets are carefully guarded, as not everyone has them. The narration was well done. It was easy to identify the speakers due to different tones and accents. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

An interesting read
I found this to be a box set of intriguing stories. It gave a sort of star wars feel. I did get a little lost at times but was soon put back on track. I also loved the fact that not only was it science fiction but it had romantic aspects to it & als at time very fast paced. Awesome characters & I loved the god machines called anotechs. If you love action and surprising twists, I recommend this on. Also loved the narrator, she did a fantastic job with all the voices.

Wonderful Sci-Fi
Wow! This was just the greatest science fiction collection I've ever listened to. It is adventurous, romantic, and fast moving. I loved the concept of the Anotechs--tiny machines--only certain people were given. It's difficult to summarize this wonderful collection without giving away too much of the story. So I just will say that if you enjoy good science fiction you must get this series! I wish there were more books in this series.
Liz Brand is an awesome narrator. She has a phenomenal library of voices that fit the characters so well.

Fantastic Space Opera
Julie C Gilbert has written a convoluted space opera adventure that has it all: a world with a complex society and rules, fantastic characters, legendary god-machines called anotechs, and a forbidden love. Each story in the series is interesting. All the books are full of action and surprising twists. I recommend this series to anyone who has an interest in this genre. Liz Brand's narration is fine, although she does stop a second too long at the end of each sentence. Once the reader becomes accustomed to this though, the series is very entertaining.

An initially difficult but interesting read
This is a very good value for the money / credit. It is a complex and well thought through Space Opera. I thought hat the character development and world building were excellent and it shows that the Author really thought through how the people and societies function.
I personally had a really difficult time getting into these stories as you are dropped into the world in the manner of William Gibson, etc. Usually, I am able to roll along with this but for some reason the first book in the series really gave me trouble. I stuck with it and the payoff at the end is worth the wait in my opinion.
The narrator did an excellent job and this is the first book I have read with them. I will be investigating what else they have narrated. I do recommend that you give this series ago if you like Space Operas with a lot of character and world building.
I voluntarily requested a copy from the Author and I am leaving this review of my own volition.
