Excellent in every way!

what can I say, the storyline, the character development, the performance, the narrator, on every level this book absolutely captivated me! the first one was just as powerful. a must read! if you are a fan of fantasy, saga and epic tales, you will absolutely love this book. and note it is not like the humdrum myriad of other fantasy books that are all pretty much the exact same just reinsed and done again. this is real creativity!

Again...

I love this series. The world building and characters are amazing, including watching them grow.
I was worried this would be another coming of age regurgitation, but I don't see that at all.
The performance and voices are very well done in the audio, and reminds me of the acting in Michael G Manning books.
I anxiously await the third book.

The other Way

I really liked it. Good story. it followed the previous story nicely. I'd like more like them.

Good story, but...

it's a good story. I enjoyed the first book and the second book both. the problem is, you can't get the third one on audible! that's ridiculous. I can't hear the rest of the story. this is causing great irritation.

Still jumping

The way this book jumped from character to character the character is a little aggravating but the story itself is doing the wind up together this last bit the novella to gain the sash again jumping
