Publisher's summary

Lynx and the rest of the Cards are heading south. There's money in their pockets, beer in their hands and a simple job ahead - sun, sea and not getting shot at much. Throw in the prospect of a bar fight and it's almost a holiday.

But the volatile Mage Islands are a powder keg, one just waiting for a spark. A bloody-handed exile perhaps, or the agent of a foreign power preparing for war. Maybe even a bunch of trigger-happy drunks who've upset the balance of magic across the Riven Kingdom. Or all three together, that'd definitely work....

Great Fantasy Novel

The Knight of Stars, the third book in The God Fragments series by Tom Lloyd was excellent. Tom Lloyd's stories and the characters incorporate everything that I look for in great adult fantasy novels - action, adventure, camaraderie, great world-building, relatable and interesting characters, and humor (essential). The system of magic introduced in this series is subtle and different, but interesting.

Tom Lloyd’s writing style for this series continues to start by jumping back and forth between the present-day and flashbacks, only to gradually transition to chronological order. This can be confusing, especially for an audio reader, but it adds depth to the story and I appreciate the care it must have taken to relate the story in this fashion. Lloyd's writing creates strong and interesting female characters, so much so, that if you forget a name, you cannot identify the gender of the character. One thing that is interesting about Tom Lloyd's writing is that he treats every character with detail and care, even those supporting characters that only briefly appear in the story. This style introduces a lot of characters to keep track of.

The publisher swapped the audio narrator for this book and that was a bit annoying, but Piers Hampton gave a solid performance and the transition was not too jarring. I am peeved with Audible that they have yet to publish the end of the series in audio format, and I may have to dust off my Kindle because I want to know how the story ends.

New Narrator!

Piers Hampton does a much better job at narrating this third instalment. Although for me this book has always been about the dialogue between characters.

While the plot is well thought out and I'm interested to see where the story eventually leads, the humorous dialogue between characters is what keeps bringing me back to this series.

I look forward to the next book.

I want more

Honestly just reviewing this because I want them to release the fourth book in this format.

Great series. Great characters. Unique and interesting world. I didn't like the change in reader but I'm not picky.
