5.0 out of 5 stars I love this series so much... Don't wait! Get it now!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019
I would consider myself an old school fantasy lover and spent much of my youth reading Tolkien, McKiernan, McCaffrey, Tad Williams and pretty much anyone else I could get my hands on. Recently I have dove into indie fantasy and let me tell you, JA Andrews is leaps and bounds ahead of the field, her story telling is phenomenal and you can't help but get sucked in and feel fully immersed while reading. Once you hit that 30% point of each book you can't help but get swept up in the story, you have to pick up the book every free minute you have until you finish it.Getting a little fatigued by all the grimdark books? Looking for something to rekindle that same passion you had as a kid the first time you read about dragons? This is it, this is the story. She will make you laugh, she will make you cheer, she will make you send her messages about how your wife asks what's going on in the story because you are crying into your coffee mug while reading!Her side story (and bonus story) fit in so well with the main trilogy that I have tremendously high hopes for future novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Summer (or anytime) Best Read

When a book or series is good, you find yourself willing to continue reading. When a book or series is very good, you find yourself eager and drawn in to read more. But, when a book or series is awesome, you stay up late at night reading, read over lunch hour, forsake watching TV, and ignore your spouse and kids in order to finish. That’s how I’d describe JA Andrew’s The Keeper Chronicles (and the prequel series, The Keeper Origins).

Unlike many fantasy books where the characters mimic unbelievable superheroes with god-like magical powers, Andrew’s characters are someone you might meet any day. And refreshingly enough magic, though integral to the story, isn’t a central character in and of itself but a background element woven as a gold thread in a tapestry.

In fact, the magic is actually in the way Andrew’s weaves the twists and turns of the journeys her characters are on. And as with any good story (just ask Will from The Pursuit of Shadows), you’ll find yourself drawn in before you know it.

So come to Tallus and Queensland. Wander with Will. Share in Aleric’s desperation; Sini’s frustration. And maybe find you have something in common with the Keepers.

After reading several less than impressive series this one was a delight. Great plot, characters that were 3dimentional with hopes,fears,bravery and uncertainties. It fit together and sucked me into the tale. I would put this on par with Terry Brookes original Shanara series - excellent read. There was no filler in this just great storytelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one had more action in it and also broke my heart!

Book 3 complete! And it was delightfully epic! It took me longer than I wanted to get through it due to my crazy schedule, but I did it.

I really enjoyed Sini as a character. Normally, I'm all about male main characters. Females are not my first choice (with exceptions), because finding a female I like is hard. Sini was a great choice for a lead and her perspective and powers were intriguing and unique. She was gifted, but still made mistakes. She was humble, yet incredible in her talents. She had a good balance.

Though Will holds my heart and I would've have loved to see some of the scenes of this book from his point of view, I enjoyed the story very much.

This is a great fantasy setting and JA Andrews is an excellent writer. I could picture the scenes so well and she does a wonderful job giving character development and her world is beautifully established. This one had more action in it and also broke my heart more than once. If I hadn't been at work, I would've have cried for sure. I certainly felt the emotions well up.

What's so great about these books is that I still got the first characters that I loved from the start, but the adventure in each one is always fresh. It has all the elements of enjoyable fantasy, but in a unique way.

There are dragons, elves, dwarves, magic users, magical objects, bad guys, redemption, betrayal, battles, darkness and the heroes finding something inside of themselves that makes them better. You laugh and cry and cheer and that makes a great story.

Yet, with all these familiar elements, they are all uniquely done, in a clean, often surprising way. There was blood, but not gore. No language, no sexual content, no crude humor. I appreciated that very much, because that's what I prefer. A story that can hold its own without the need for all of that rubbish. And even though I predicted what was happening, I found delight in the reveals.

I also appreciated the unique twist on familiar tropes. The elves were so delightfully elvish...until they weren't. They were different from the norm. The Dwarves weren't crude, boarish characters that belched and were always drinking. They were intelligent and funny (probably the reason I laughed the most throughout). The magic users were each unique, with limits to their skills that made them relatable, yet their talents were so cool when used. The villains were also very well thought out.

I was thrilled with this wonderful trilogy and it had a great ending. Sini's story was really interesting. There were a few personal preferences that I would've liked to see, but that's a "me" thing and it did not in anyway detract from the enjoyment I had!

I highly recommend this to lovers of fantasy everywhere!

"...Fears can overcome almost everything else. But love can overpower things too, as can the truth that we are not hopeless or alone. Breathe deeply."

P.S. Will has some of the BEST lines. Very quote worthy. I just had to thrown that out there! 😁👌

Now on to the next project!

I REALLY enjoyed this series. As I began the first book I wasn’t sure I’d like it. The more I read, I was hooked. I know this is just my opinion, but the characters almost breathed. I loved the plot lines. The variety of characters kept the story fresh. The plot flowed. I could go on, but I’ll stop here. GOOD read for fantasy fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant series - and I rarely leave reviews...
Reviewed in Australia on July 7, 2019

This was the first I’ve read by the author, but I’m so glad I did. There are often so many repeated themes and characters in fantasy novels that I find myself frequently starting a book then thinking..hang on, have I already read this?

This series is definitely full of fresh imaginings and the story, across 3 very full-length novels, is masterfully interwoven and told. I admit to being completely and utterly absorbed and captivated by the stories of Keepers Alaric, Will and Sini. So much that everyday life had to take a back seat, including feeding the family. They know where the pantry is.

The depth of the primary AND secondary characters was astonishing, and I haven’t read many villains who were so multi-faceted and heroes so complex and compelling. If you want a synopsis of the stories, read the blurbs or someone else’s review - I want to encourage readers to grab the trilogy immediately and just start reading.

The themes are so thoroughly explored, you feel there was no part of the story left to chance. The trilogy is chronological, and really must be read in order to understand it fully.

There are humans, dragons, elves, dwarves, and magic-wielders of various types. But the humanity of all the different human types is so relatable - old feuds and mistaken grudges, shifting alliances, greed, slavery, but above all the stories show always that there is hope.

The relationships are so beautifully developed, and so unexpected in many ways, it was deeply satisfying to read them all. No being is all good or all bad, but the choices we make must be owned and the consequences lived with. Through adversity we find strength and hope.

This is not a one night read. I consider I’m a fast reader, but this trilogy took a couple of days. It was worth every minute. The light and hope are always there in glimmers, not so much that it’s a HEA obviously, but it does ultimately have a positive end. The story to get there truly is epic. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thanks for a great read & cheers to the family for giving you the time to write it!

PS - huge bonus points for being extremely well edited. I think there was 1 typo in the entire saga, which is no mean feat these days! I might have appreciated slightly shorter chapters enabling more mental breaks, but honestly, I would have plowed on through the next one anyway desperate to find out what happens next, so it’s not a big issue. Just read it & you’ll see!
