Dawn Razed

Ethereal Earth, Book 4

By: Josh Erikson

Narrated by: Josh Erikson

After barely surviving an onslaught of elves and Templars and assorted monsters—not to mention the devilish machinations of an old god—Gabe and his friends had hoped for some time to recover. But when an overwhelming threat shows up on their doorstep far ahead of schedule, they quickly discover that time is yet one more force stacked against them. Along with practically everything else.

So together with old friends and new, Gabe searches desperately for more allies to form an unprecedented coalition to stand against the coming End—all the while being careful not to mention that it’s at least partially his fault.

But even Gabe’s rock-bottom expectations are thwarted when the shaky path he envisions for their future suddenly crumbles beneath him, and he’s taken on a wild ride far from home...straight into the grasping claws of his own nightmares.

Dawn Razed is the fourth book in the Ethereal Earth series, an ongoing saga about identity and imagination...and how dangerous it is to have one without the other.

Best of the series

The fourth book really a lot of fun. Great characters that by book 4 become a part of you.
I like the writer and his humility. You get a sense that this was his passion a he pursued it. His vocal range is amazing for someone who must be new at narration.
Great series with wonderful characters. Look forward to the next book.

These never disappoint!

I have nothing to add. This series has been one hit after another for me and just gets everything...right. What I want say that the author taking a step back to revise is incredibly admirable. Wish more writers were able to do that nowadays.

Great story

This story is a story within a story and both are good. The main story is fun and light but sitting on the edge kind of more. It’s the book you don’t want to put down. The second story line is more therapeutic but in an honest open and fresh way and makes you think or reflect at moments.
Together they make a great book. Can’t wait for the next one!

Restored my hope for the series

I was growing more skeptical about this series after the last book, not that it was a bad book by any means but there were parts that drag on just a little too long, and the author seems to have a despair-kink that might need some therapy and when i saw the length of this book compared to the last I feared it was going to be constant gut-punches mixed in with some comical one-liners.

And while this book does tend to drag on in spots, and some spots could probably have been written out entirely, and if i hear "the bond" one more time before the next book I may star to crack. All of that aside I really liked how I couldn't predict what was going to happen next (in most cases, its still a book series after all, you know the good guy is going to "win" in the end).

The characterization of Gabe is getting better along with the new characters he has written. I was also thrilled to see <insert bad guy name here> again.

Overall I hope the series continues with these stenghts in mind...and maybe a little less "the bond" every 2 or 3 sentences :)

Great narrator and writer

Please keep up the great work. I loved every minute of this series. Not to mention you have nothing to apologize for. Please keep them coming.
