Description

"All things are composed of patterns...." And within the pattern of the realm of Alorin, three strands must cross.

In Alorin...300 years after the genocidal Adept Wars, the realm is dying, and the blessed Adept race dies with it. One man holds the secret to reverting this decline: Bjorn van Gelderan, a dangerous and enigmatic man whose shocking betrayal three centuries past earned him a traitor's brand. It is the Adept Vestal Raine D'Lacourte's mission to learn what Bjorn knows in the hope of salvaging his race. But first he'll have to find him....

In the kingdom of Dannym...the young Prince Ean val Lorian faces a tenuous future as the last living heir to the coveted Eagle Throne. When his blood brother is slain during a failed assassination, Ean embarks on a desperate hunt for the man responsible. Yet his advisors have their own agendas, and his quest for vengeance leads him ever deeper into a sinuous plot masterminded by a mysterious and powerful man, the one they call First Lord.

In the Nadori desert...tormented by the missing pieces of his life, a soldier named Trell heads off to uncover the truth of his shadowed past. But when disaster places him in the debt of Wildlings sworn to the First Lord, Trell begins to suspect a deadlier, darker secret motivating them.

one of the better book series out there

Everything about this series is amazing. it evokes emotions in you making you consider wise words of beings centuries of years old that the author does an amazing job at making you love and respect like you a sage. The way this wisdom applies to every day life is something to be appreciated. there aren't many books series I would recommend more highly.

Meh

Nick Podehl's performance is without reproach. I will not buy the next book because the story and character just did not do it for me. Be ready for 6-7 hrs of character introductions. The cast act like they are mentally challenged fourteen years old while being described as gifted. The sex scenes are cringy. Liking Sanderson, Jordan, or Tolkien are not signs you will like this book.

Overuse of Romance/Sex as a Plot Device Ruins It

These novels could have been outstanding, but I can no longer bear them. I read 2 3/4 of them before I grew sick of the endless, insipid romance, or the overuse/misuse of sex as a mechanism to achieve goals lofty or otherwise. It seems each interesting character must have their entire personality subverted by a Great Love, usually one that is utterly nonsensical. Romantic love is a wonderful thing, to be sure, but it does not trump everything else and it shouldn’t be allowed to ruin otherwise exceptional fiction. It is possible for good and likeable characters to have motivation rooted on other values. It is possible for two characters to form a powerful bond without making love to do so. It is possible for an evil magic user to induce the worst possible torture without repeatedly raping their victim (thankfully, these rapes were man-on-man and woman-on-man, so at the very least I didn’t have to endure horrific scenes of women being raped).

For those who think they can listen to these parts of the story without going mad, here are some of the good parts. The system of magic is very cool. The generation of suspense in having characters discover their origins through trials and tribulations is captivating. The ethnic diversity is fabulous. The conception of various kinds of rebirth and immortality is imaginative and compelling. If all of this sounds like enough to keep you going through the tiresome BS, then I wish you the best. For my part, I will satisfy myself with some synopses and move on with something more worth my time.

A lot of scene setting and Character Introduction

I took a long time to get to the story and find out how we're the main characters. However, once the story took off it was really good.

Totally captivating

I am a hardcore long time, old school fantasy/sci-fi lover. And this book was a great adventure for me. It took a few chapters to really get into the story. I love Nick Podehl as a narrator. That’s actually how I found this series; I searched books narrated by him. But by the end of the book I found myself totally enthralled. I am really looking forward to the next book!

Originally returned this book!

Good, very good

I had originally returned this book for reasons currently unknown to me because unfortunately I'm currently writing this review after 6 months finishing the entire series, not entirely sure why I returned this book but I'm glad I decided to give it another go.

First off Nick Podehl, this guy is the best narrator on audible

This series is amazing, masterful world building, interesting and organized character development, great plot development and story pacing, little to no story repetition, great use of various person’s perspectives and various character perspectives.

It amazing how this author tells many stories throughout this series and masterfully brings them all together while still keeping the world its self and the main plot interesting and organized.
