This series continues to dazzle as we follow our heroes in their journey through adversity and advancement. Will Wight breathes so much life and individuality to the major characters, adding to the realism of the story. But what dazzles most of all is the world he creates and the magic system that’s both fascinating and complex. Of course, you likely already know this if your reading the review for a book this far into the series. If you are new to the story, don’t start here. You will have a challenging time trying to understand what is happening. Begin with Book 1, you won’t regret it.

This the first book of this series I tried in audiobook format. I found the narration well done. Travis Baldree doesn’t put a tremendous amount of energy into scenes, rather it gives much more the feeling of a grandfather sharing a story. It seems to work with the story.
