This review is for books 1-9. Let’s just say I can’t wait for the next book. Lucky for me the first 8 were included in my Audible Membership. Wow! I had 9 books I listened to in quick order so I had no problem remember I got earlier details. The story is unlike any I had read before and learning how each person advanced through their training to grow their skills and strength was so interesting. Dross is my favorite character. I bet the author had a blast injecting his comments with the humor and wit. I laughed out loud so many times. I hope to hear more of his funny little voice. The narrator did a great job showing the emotions and the personality. I don’t think Dross would have had the impact if I had just read it. My only issue was it took a long time for me to associate with parallel story with the judges and I think these 2 stories will only come together more as each book emerges. I sure hope there is another book. I need my Dross fix.
