Resumen del Editor

The long-awaited sequel to Green Rider, First Rider's Call, and The High King's Tomb.

Once a simple student, Karigan G'ladheon finds herself in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand when she becomes a legendary Green Rider - one of the magical messengers of the king. Forced by magic to accept a dangerous fate she would never have chosen, headstrong Karigan has become completely devoted to the king and her fellow Riders.

But now, an insurrection led by dark magicians threatens to break the boundaries of ancient, evil Blackveil Forest-releasing powerful dark magics that have been shut away for a millennium.

Ellen Archer is a master audio book performer!

I would not hesitate to buy anything Ellen Archer performs. The Green Rider books are wonderful with or without audio.That said Ellen Archers performance brings the characters alive and adds even more to make the series perfection.

Enjoyable series

Any additional comments?

This is a wonderful series. It first reminded me of Mercedes Lacky and Robert Jordan but then evolved.

Great Book

Where does Blackveil rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I read these books and enjoyed the story and can't wait for each addition. When I heard that they were doing an audio book I was a bit Leary. Some are done horribly, but Ellen Archer did a tremendous job. I have enjoyed listening to her and can't wait for the next.

Good but weird at one point

If you have read my other reviews, you know I have loved this series so far. But I have to say the weird ritual rape scene kind of threw me for a loop. There has been nothing like that so far in the series. It was handled as gracefully as possible but...really?

Other than that, I love the characters and the situations they get into. So this book is a continuation of the greatness of the previous books minus that one weird blemish.

Ellen Archer does her usual excellent job portraying these characters.

I would still recommend the series as Karigan gets thrust into the most amazing circumstances as a member of the Green Riders. I have very much enjoyed reading them so far.

Cliff hanger really??

What did you love best about Blackveil?

I liked the team work with the elves and that you can feel that Grandmother is about at the end of her run.

What did you like best about this story?

I like that kari keeps moving forward even when it looks like the end is upon her.

What does Ellen Archer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She help to bring more life to each player in the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The king just piss me off by the way he keeps giving into the politics, he seems to forget that while he may need his allies they also need him more as a leader and as the one who can take away their rank and standing if found untrustworthy to the kingdom.

very good.

great narrator. love Kristen britian's world building and the pace of her books. blackviel let's us get a more detailed glimpse at another aspect of her world (blackviel). she also adds just the right amount of interpersonal side stories. great fantasy book with another great epic journey by britian!

Keeps getting better

Probably my favorite out of the series so far. The Amberhill story line seemed out of place.

will read forever

I have read this book and fallen in love with the characters and now that i have the audio for it make me love them even more.

So much!

I've really enjoyed the twists this story has taken! As much as I love a start to finish "good old happy ending", this story has the taste of a solid ending with a lot of surprises along the way!

excellant

loved it could not stop listening can't wait for the next book starting it now
