Story was good because the series is good

Dark Soul did go dark, but not where I thought it would. I was hoping for a more streamline interactions with Forest. I wanted to see Forrest struggle a little more with the moral components of her new job. With that said, the story that was crafted nicely. Especially the Bale/Netrit relationship. That was a surprising way to include Bale, who was horrible and I am glad he got his due in the end. I disliked that man very much, but strong feelings towards a character means a good story. The people of the fair and Cyrus’s appearances made my heart warm and that cliffhanger……… OMG Tenaya Jayne… you are driving me crazy, but I guess it is alright and a smart thing to do. Over all I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading the nice one.

Dark Soul Lives Up To Its Name

What did you love best about Dark Soul?

Dark Soul moves into a world dark and gritty -- one that at times scared me and others made my skin crawl -- I loved it!Netriet and Merrick are far from typical, yet their love and redemption is even better because of the pain in their lives before.As always, Jayne left me wanting more. I can't wait for the next book to hit the shelves

What other book might you compare Dark Soul to and why?

Maybe some of the darkest fantasy, like Game of Thrones, in the matter-of-fact brutality of this character's life.Only Stephen King and Peter Straub ever disturbed me like Jayne has. I want to know what happens, but the pain of witnessing it through the character's eyes is so very real.

good transitional volume

Some storylines ended, some began, some expand, some contracted, nothing too place, a lot took place. Like most transitional volumes in a series this one is ending some things and preparing for the rest of the series. So gave it a 4 star as this volumes seemed to do that better than other series I have read, where you left wondering why the author didn't add a chapter or two on the beginning or end of the volumes between this volume you just wasted good time reading or listening to.

This volume does seem to have a purpose and is not just to sell more books. Its a 4 star because its a transitional volume and I usually give them 3 or less depending on how they are written. this being above average.

if the author was fishing, she just set the hook.

This the best written in the series thus far. You really begin to feel for the characters, not just observe them.

So-so

The only story I care about is Forest and Syrus. All others I skip through.

Great Fantasy Series

I have really enjoyed the books leading to this one and may have overlooked the one about Shi but I found it important to the series. Many characters and never a dull moment. It's seems as though Forest has grown a lot in the fourth book although not much time has passed. 5 stars. Narrators make audiobooks better. Enjoy.

Another great continuation of this story!:)

This one took a look into aka "Netty" or her actual name Netrete who was brought back to life by Shy and suffers from an unknown entity she calls the "shadow " that entered originally into her eye and continues to talk to her and causes her to do things that darken her soul she has a hard time trying to fighting the shadow at times she try everything from ignoring it trying to kill herself to end the nightmare but even that is out of her control.

Full of surprises!

I couldn't wait for each book, as they are so exciting ! Each book has been better and better!

Fabulous

The best narration of the series yet! The story is amazing in print, and read well here too. The flow of this particular story itself allows it to translate well to reading, whereas, if we're honest, some books can't. I recommend!
