Six rare powers govern the land of Adamah. Possessing one demands entrance to the king's army. To refuse means death.
For hundreds of years, dark clouds covered the skies of Adamah, and an ageless king ruled. Those who emerged with one of six extraordinary Shay powers were forced into the king's army, an unmatched force with inhuman strength, speed, accuracy, perception, empathy, and healing. With the army behind him, the king - a man who wields all six abilities - was invincible and unquestioned in his rule.
To most, serving the king was an honor. But for others, it was a fate worse than death. When 17-year-old Nolan Trividar witnesses the transformation of his brother from kind to cruel after entering the king's army, he vows never to follow the same path.
Powers of the Six take you to another world where the smallest person can do extraordinary things, the undead infest the night, and the sun emits more than just warmth and light.

It had a chance, but it just missed it. Its a bit boring, a bit predictable, and bit too outrageous. If you have nothing better to do with a credit, you could do worse....but also much better.It had a chance

This isn't the first story I know of to use 'magic' stones as the source of powers, but I like that the powers are what they are, and the idea of a tournament to find the gifted ones. I also like the way the 'power corrupts' theme is explored in the person of the king, versus the 'choices matter' theme embodied in Nolan and the choices he makes along with the fears he has about his powers.
Nolan is my favorite character, followed by Alec and then Emery. Nolan sees himself as weak, mostly because of his older brother, but he's actually a brave guy. Alec transforms from a cocky teen with a bit of spite to a trustworthy friend and finally learns valuable lessons about his own weakness. Emery seems to see a lot of himself in Nolan without realizing it. Emery helps Nolan see himself and his abilities more clearly, and Nolan does the same for him in the end.
Where's the sequel in audio form?

So, THIS! Holy moley it's been a long time since I read a magical epic adventure, and I found I was really craving one. And OH! Did this ever fit the bill! Intrigue, action, and a beautiful blend of different magical elements made for a fun, fast-paced read. Together with characters I came to care about (Yes, I cried at a point), this is a series I MUST continue, and is going to be added to my favorites of the year. Many of the elements were new to me, which always makes it more exciting, and the ones I was already familiar with had little twists to them to make them fresh. There were characters I loathed, those I loved, and those I pitied, and I thought they were very well written.
Now, for the narration. Dude. DUDE. This may be my new favorite narrator! Not only was his voice smooth and pleasing, but he seemed to know the story. The voices he did (I swear, one of them sounded just like Hagrid haha) were perfect and flawless, and it didn't feel forced in the slightest. There was no issue with switching to females speaking. The speed and tone were just...PERFECT! And yeah, I admit it, I'm a sucker for an accent. But even without, his reading voice is just amazing. I feel like he could read an encyclopedia entry on watching grass grow and it would be great LOL. I think I’ve become a total fangirl…
SO! Now that I’m finished gushing, here’s the lowdown: READ THIS. It is just so good! Anyone who likes epic adventures should thoroughly enjoy this. I definitely urge you to try the audiobook, but really, this book is amazing on its own.
Bob say: 5 Platypires because I’m not allowed to go higher!
Loved it!
