Great book, Outstanding narrator.

I literally buy books based first on the quality of the narrator, and Peter Kenny is my all-time #1 favorite narrator. I could listen to him narrate an instruction manual.
As for this book and series as a whole, don't expect the most in-depth plot or characters, but at least for me, that didn't take away from my level of enjoyment in the slightest. The magic system is a little underdeveloped, which leaves you wondering why someone allows themselves to be majorly inconvenienced when the clear and present solution is used in the very next example of the same problem (I'm looking at you, communications rings). But I don't want to make it sound like I'm trying to deter readers; my point is that these minor flaws are just that- minor, and that the overall story, action sequences, character developments, and beautifully written expositions are well worth some minor oversights.

Love this series and can't wait for more.

Another great book in wonderful series

I cannot get enough of this series and been so busy I had no idea the 5th was coming out. I love the world and the characters and the DRAGONS. Cannot wait for the next book! The story is only made better by the amazing performance by the narrator. A+++

Fun story!

Enjoyable and exciting story. I love the characters and the strong women especially. Can't wait for the next one!

Really fun read!

Writing this same review for the first 5 books:
The first 5 books were a lot of fun to read and a really good story. Some new twists to the fantasy genre to keep it fresh. As a 5 book series, this was well worth the read. For a 6th book..... well, see my review of that book.
Minor add to this: Book 5 was starting to feel a little worn but it was still a good read.
