Publisher's summary

Ennek, the son of the Chief, and Miner, a former slave, have escaped the totalitarian city-state of Praesidium and remain fugitives. Having defeated two mighty wizards, they begin to realize complete freedom can be as dangerous as absolute power. Now Ennek and Miner must face battles, corruption, and further journeys through lands both new and familiar.

As they grow more secure in their relationship, they learn the greatest challenges sometimes come from very close to the heart and everything of value has a price. With the help of a few allies, they seek equipoise - a balance for themselves and for their world.

Nice ending for the series

First, let me say that the Ennek Trilogy exemplifies the magnitude of Kim Fielding’s immense world-building abilities as well as her gift with writing. She’s created compelling characters in a complex world and given them arduous and evocative hurdles to overcome. I really enjoyed books one and two and this is a lovely third installment that wraps up their journey beautifully.

I love that Miner and Ennek’s relationship is solid and in fact strengthens throughout this book. I love all the magic and usage of powers that we get as well. There were times when things did drag out a bit and there might have been some repetitive moments here and there, but all in all the story moved along at a lovely pace and came to nice ending for our MCs.

Joel Leslie, as he did in book 2, did a fantastic job with giving all these wide and varied characters in the story and I think he brings her world to life in a way that helps to support any of the lagging areas in the story with his own dramatic influence. I think listening to this is the absolute best way to enjoy this series and my only sadness is that he didn’t narrate book one as well.

Highly recommended!

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: good pace, likeable characters, nicely wrapped up conclusion.
Kim Fielding has a knack for detailed worldbuilding and well developed characters, add in Joel Leslie for the narration and I'm guaranteed hours of my senses and emotions being engaged while I'm transported into the lives of the characters.

*** ⚠️ my review contains spoilers ***

Equipoise picks up where Stasis left off, so is best listened to in order. It ties up the series nicely, building on the bond between Ennek and Miner and dealing with Ennek's growing power and literal inner demon. It held my interest from start to finish, there's always something going on, the characters have their strengths and vulnerable moments of insecurities, external forces are working against them, but ultimately these two are far stronger together than apart.

🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie is one of my favorite narrators and he has done a stellar performance on Equipoise. I had no problem distinguishing characters and the rhythm, inflections and intonations all worked to bring the book to life. The characters are consistent across the series and the multiple accents really work to enhance the "travel to foreign lands" adventure we're taken on.


📌 Where does it fall on my personal scale? 8 - This series will happily be added to my "relisten" list.
• 1 not my thing • 2 didn't like the narration • 3 didn't keep my attention • 4 was good, but once was enough • 5 enjoyed it • 6 will listen again if i'm in the mood for the narrator • 7 goes on the "re-listen" list [4⭐] • 8 kept me up past bed-time [4.5⭐] • 9 recommended to family/friends [4.75⭐] • 10 own it in multiple formats [5⭐] • 11 keep a copy with me at all times [5⭐]
