After a year of fighting across three different lands, Dante and Blays have finally brought Gladdic to justice - and in the process, they've unleashed a horror beyond all reckoning.

The enemy is known as the White Lich. He is ancient. He is immensely powerful. And Gladdic believes he will soon enslave all of Tanar Atain.

Their only chance to defeat him is to strike fast, before the lich has regained his power. But attacking him directly would be suicide. Instead, Gladdic has an alternative. Once upon a time, the lich was human, with a mortal body. Gladdic believes that original body is still out there, hidden somewhere in the swamps.

If they can find it and kill it, then the lich should die with it. But if they fail, the White Lich will rip the souls from the people of Tanar Atain - and turn his gaze on the rest of the world.

Any additional comments?

I've enjoyed all the Cycle of Arawn and Galand books so far, with some more than others. The Light of Life has been my least favorite book of the two series so far.It was nice to be back on an adventure with Dante and Blayze again, but this book starts out with the two trying to figure out how to kill the White Liche, and ends in pretty much the same place. The book is mostly comprised of Dante and Blayze leading their crew paddling here and there in the swamps, with a break for a few chapters of sitting in the grass trying to learn a new form of magic, and then back to paddling around.

And what ever happened to Rosha? The last three books spent a large portion of each book to build up a secondary character and story for Rosha, only to end anti-climatically with her being sent away and not given even a small part in this book. What was the point of the build up? Perhaps she will turn up later, but it seemed a missed opportunity to bring some more action to this book.

Overall, I'm sure that there were some building blocks laid in this book to help the plot of the final book of the Cycle of Galand, but this book seems to be mostly filler to extend the series. The Narration of Tim Gerald Reynolds was perfect.

Good, But Not Best In Series

As always Ed brings us an exciting tale of the adventures of Dante and Blays, with the addition of old enemies turned hesitant allies. With a mix of Dante's dark sarcasm and the Laconic wit of Blays, The Light of Life manages to elicit laughter without sacrificing the tension of perilous situations.

Constantly getting closer to the edge of my seat!

Well, once again I am overwhelmed at how great a writer Ed is. And of course Tim Gerard Reynolds the Great makes it come completely alive with his narrative skillz!!! You will be furious, happy, scared as hell, sad to tears, then shocked, then back to furious and then you will be satisfied yet dying to read more once it's over. Just another great read thanks to Edward W Robertson! I see why TJR is such a highly sought after narrator. Great Job! And my boys love for me to turn this book on when im in the kitchen cooking, they will come i and listen for an hour sometimes, that's during video game time!!!! They could be gaming on their consoles playing Red Dead 2 or the Witcher but instead they are asking questions about ether and nether and blighted and Star Eaters.... Lol it's great!

Freaking Great! (As usual)

Great book!

Story continues fluidly and is well written, a bit dull and long winded at times. Performance by Mr Reynolds is once again top quality.

Really good

I read earlier that it just keeps getting better but thought I’d judge for myself and as unlikely as it is it really does just keep getting better... the story the suspense the narration... it’s so much more to my delight than even I expected. Thanks is all I can say !!!

Surprised

I hope the author and narrator read this. My son introduced me to the first trilogy and I have been hooked since! I have already purchased the 5th book and will start it immediately. I just want to thank you for these books I love everything about them!! The narrator is awesome as well and really sells the story! I am dreading completing the next book because there isn’t another one as of yet. Just wanted to say I appreciate these books and the narrator a lot I have laughed out loud and held my breath in suspense! Thank you Mr. Robertson and Mr. Reynolds you are a great team! By the way does anyone else see “the dread pirate Robert “ in your head (minus the mask of course) when you picture Blays?

The best one yet!
