About this listen

2016 Ink and Insights Competition – Judges’ Favorite

2017 Readers' Favorite Award for Epic Fantasy

Second in the 2017 SPFBO

#1 Amazon Best Seller in Epic Fantasy

Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land for the radiant glory of their lord.

The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man.

But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.

In a small fishing village, a boy with strange powers comes of age....

A young queen rises in the west, fanning the long-smoldering embers of magic into a blaze once more....

Something of great importance is stolen – or freed – from the mysterious Empire of Swords and Flowers....

And the immortals who survived the ancient cataclysms bestir themselves, casting about for why the world is suddenly changing....

The complete, award-winning epic series in one volume.

Despite some of the other comments I think its a good book with a good story and the narrator did a good job.

good book

Story is very slow, sometimes feels disjointed like he wasn't sure where he was taking the characters.

The narration is amazing, the only reason I actually finished the series.

Slow and Underwhelming

The book is good but a bit slow paced. This is made worse by the slow cadence used by the narrator. He also tends to exaggerate the accents to the point that some of them are comical.

Great story very in depth and would like a sequel as it leave characters with more story

Great story

I found the story very difficult to follow. I like the overall plot, but the constant shifting between characters was confusing. I think just focusing on one main character would have made the stories better. Overall, it was okay.

It’s okay.

The performance is the only way I got through this. His unique and varied voicing of each character was a great benefit to this reading.
For me, there were too many characters to track and follow in each of the books. Lots of quick twists and unexpected left turn have left me quite confused several times. Almost like the writer got tired of a direction and killed someone off so he could write in another direction. So expect radical changes and somewhat strange or luke warm endings.
ADVICE: If you purchase the 3 book series, it might mentally work better if you finish a book and wait a few days to start the next.

Well done, not great, but well done series.

great imagination

This saga is one for the ages, for it so boldly blends aspects of fantasy and real life. While listening to this during preceding weeks of a national election, I realized many similarities between this literary universe and our own. A religion crusaded against specific people for how they were born, as well as those sympathetic to those people’s plight. This was done by fear and hatred. All the while, so many deeper histories are uncovered and realized.

This place of magic, monsters, and millennia is one of my new favorites.

Love this!!!

Story itself was good, not great. But a GREAT value considering you get the whole box set and definitely worth a listen

Good Performance

At first it takes some getting used to the narrator, but it’s grown on me. This is your general high fantasy, go for it if you’re like me and can listen to fantasy endlessly :P

P.s. audible should toss out every review that says “I made it to such and such chapter and hated it so you should too, blah blah blah blah.” I cannot stand people that express an opinion they don’t have any right to. Finish a title before you regurgitate your self entitled nonsense please. When the wheel turns again, I pray the dragon reborn smites you, cheers.

It takes a little time.
