Bound

Alex Verus Series, Book 8

By: Benedict Jacka

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Right now I wasn't seeing Richard as the teacher out of my nightmares; he was just another Dark mage, and I looked into the future to see what would happen if I turned that knife on him instead....

Alex Verus is still haunted by his time apprenticed to Richard Drakh. He's been free of him for many years, but now the only way to keep his friends from being harmed is to again work for Richard and his deadly ally. Even worse, he's forced to bring the Light mage Anne into this servitude as well. After weeks of being hunted and finally cornered into what he thought was his last stand, Alex never thought his life would be spared - and never anticipated at what price. This time, the diviner can see no way out.

Great as always

Thoroughly enjoyed Bound! Another consistent winner from Mr. Jacka. Looking forward to the next one!

Bit sloppy on narration but good story

The narration in this book was a bit uneven. Character voices change, and cuts were really obvious as they change in tone and volume. Not the level of excellence we’ve come to expect. Shouldn’t stop you from buying / reading, but it is disappointing.

I can't wait until the next book is out.

One of the best Quotes From the book.
Lunna: to Veray I think you broke Alex.

love all these books

all of these books are constructed so well and complete. would suggest fit 13+ it can get a little dark

Please stop being so predictable

It seems like Alex and his friends are just being bullied again. After countless assassination attempts, burning of homes, kidnappings, torture and much more, these people just can seem to fight back. the last book was filler and this one is too. I would like to see these characters play offense and stop being stuck in reaction mode. This is good writing but the character development has gotten stuck somewhere. I am disappointed, because i feel like these characters are alive by pure luck.
