Publisher's summary
When the leader of the ruthless Technic League calls in a favor, the mild-mannered alchemist Alaeron has no choice but to face a life he thought he'd left behind long ago. Accompanied by his only friend, a street-savvy thief named Skiver, Alaeron must head north into Numeria, a land where brilliant and evil arcanists rule over the local barbarian tribes with technology looted from a crashed spaceship. Can Alaeron and Skiver survive long enough to unlock the secrets of the stars? Or will the backstabbing scientists of the Technic League make Alaeron's curiosity his undoing?

Story
In the grim nation of Nidal, carefully chosen children are trained to practice dark magic, summoning forth creatures of horror and shadow. Isiem is one such student, a promising young shadowcaster whose powers are the envy of his peers. Upon coming of age, he's dispatched on a mission of genocide against the winged humanoids of Devii's Perch. Yet as the body count rises and Isiem comes face to face with the people he's exterminating, lines begin to blur, and the shadowcaster must ask himself who the real monsters are....

Story
With strength, wit, rakish charm, and a talking sword named Hrym, Rodrick has all the makings of a classic hero - except for the conscience. Instead, he and Hrym live a high life as scoundrels, pulling cons and parting the weak from their gold. When a mysterious woman invites them along on a quest into the frozen north in pursuit of a legendary artifact, it seems like a prime opportunity to make some easy coin - especially if there's a chance for a double-cross.

In the deep forests of Kyonin, elves live secretively among their own kind, far from the prying eyes of other races. Few of impure blood are allowed beyond the nation's borders, and thus it's a great honor for the half-elven Count Varian Jeggare and his hellspawn bodyguard, Radovan, to be allowed inside. Yet all is not well in the elven kingdom: Demons stir in its depths, and an intricate web of politics seems destined to catch the two travelers in its snares.

Story
You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Story
Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

Not a bad read for a fan of Pathfinder
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would absolutely recommend this book to a friend especially one who is a fan of pathfinder. The setting chosen for the book is most likely the one least used in the games usually and the reason for this is that it has futuristic technology as you can tell from the cover art and the summary of the book. This is such an interesting idea to mesh fantasy with sci fi but its also very daunting and does not sit well with all players and for this reason it is often unused. This book provides a glimpse into this mysterious setting through the eyes of two amazingly fun characters.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Reign of Stars?
The most memorable moments from this book are honestly the moments where one of the main protagonists Skiver basically steals the show. I can’t really detail them without some spoilers but honestly they keep mentioning this other adventure the pair went on prior to this one which really just helped me decide which audio book I will be choosing next month. Their chemistry and quirks were just that fun to me. I would however recommend looking up a reading order for the pathfinder tales series. I had always assumed each was a standalone story and they are to a large extent. This book made perfect sense without having read the other one but it did spoil major plots for that book. I will be sure to do my research next time before I delve into another one.
What about Victor Bevine’s performance did you like?
The narrators performance was excellent in this book. Each character has their own voice to an extent and he even picks up on some of the strange speech patterns described in this book. Top notch as I have come to expect from audible books.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
If I were to make a film of this movie I believe the tag line would be something like “Lord of the Rings meets Star Trek” or “Looks likes you brought a dagger to a laser rifle fight”
Any additional comments?
My only additional comments relate to the book itself. See the pathfinder tales books all seem to run nearly the same length which says to me there is some sort of mandated length for these books. This I feel puts the authors into a bit if a tight spot when it comes to giving the reader everything they want. This book really developed characters extremely well but defiantly at the sacrifice of the actual adventuring you might expect from a book based on pathfinder. I felt this one was especially lacking in the adventure part and really came down to political squabbling. There wasn’t even really a villain in the book which really threw me off. There were bad people doing bad things but mostly to each other. Honestly it didn’t ever feel like the main characters needed to be there really. In any other book this would be criminal but the author did such a good job of getting me invested in them that I didn’t really mind. All in all I would say this is worth a read but if you’re looking for a pathfinder novel there are better ones to be found. Hellknight would be one I would recommend thoroughly.
