Bright Steel

De: Miles Cameron

Narrado por: Mark Meadows

A young mage-in-training is unwittingly pulled into a violent political upheaval, in the third book of this epic fantasy trilogy by Miles Cameron, author of the Traitor Son Cycle.
Aranthur and his friends have come together across different continents and realms with one purpose: to strike back against the forces that have torn a hole in the heavens and threaten to rip the world apart.
Ultimate victory will require enemies to trust one another, old foes to fight together, spies to reveal the truth, and steadfast allies to betray long-corrupt rules. But will Aranthur, a twenty-year-old student, really be able to bring them all together? And what will they do when their plans inevitably fall to pieces?

A great conclusion To a trilogy

An enjoyable conclusion to a book series

It wrapped up all the major and secondary plot lines well

I would recommend this book series to anybody who enjoys adventure fantasy

I enjoyed all three books in the series
And recommend this author to anyone who enjoys stories with a little more grit and fantasy worlds that seem Like real places And characters with real world problems

Just as good on the third listen

An epic fantasy series with a good plot, and good character development. It left me wanting more in the best way. Mark Meadows was excellent. One of my favorite narrations.

Miles Cameron is the Best …

fantasy novelist of his generation. I’ve read 100s of fantasy novels in the last few years. Mr Cameron is the best. His Traitor Son series and this Masters and Mages series are the both in the top 5 series of the 2000s. And probably ever.

His ability to build complex multi-book plots with numerous important characters that consistently develop and evolve is second to none.

And his description of combat and magery is unparalleled. He clearly has a deep background in pre-firearm combat and warfare. His description of both one on one combat and large scale warfare is … Art…. and a reason alone to read his books.

If only he could produce a novel a month… I might be satisfied.

Great Renaissance fantasy

I love Miles Cameron; his strengths are definitely his colorful side characters, his incredible understanding and description of sword combat, and his flavorful, albeit inconsistent, magic system. I recently finished his Traitor Son cycle, where you see all of the above elements combined with a rich world, incredible history, and a master plan five books in the making.

In this series, you get all of the above, but…less of it? I feel like all the nuts and bolts are present, and you get a satisfying and fun series, but it is not the masterwork that the Traitor Son cycle is. It’s still a lot of fun, and you’ll love every moment of it. Much better than any other Renaissance/Napoleonic fantasy I’ve read.

love it!

loved it. I love the way Cameron uses words and writes characters. there's just something about it that makes me unable to pull away.
