Crownbreaker

De: Sebastien de Castell

Narrado por: Sebastien de Castell, Joe Jameson

A failed mage learns that just because he's not the chosen one it doesn't mean he can't be a hero in final book of the Spellslinger series.
Once an outlaw spellslinger, Kellen Argos has made a life for himself as the Daroman Queen's protector. A little magic and a handful of tricks are all it takes to deal with the constant threats to her reign. But when rumors of an empire-shattering war begin to stir, Kellen is asked to commit an unimaginable act to protect his queen.
Inside enemy territory, he quickly realizes something is amiss. Someone is playing a dangerous game. And to discover their secrets, Kellen will have to challenge the greatest spellcaster who's ever lived.
Kellen's misadventures concludes in Crownbreaker, the riveting finale to the adventure fantasy series that began with Spellslinger.

Magic is a con finale!

Like I said in my first update when I started this novel, I put off reading this book for as long as I could. I wasn't ready to part ways with Kellen, Reichs, Ferius & the rest of the characters of this wondrous series. The writing in this series (like in the Greatcoats series) had kept me guessing as to how Kellen would be changed by the end of this series, but I also knew it wouldn't be in the ways I thought.

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this novel & will continue to read any novel Sebastien de Castell writes. Speaking as a son & having a father (& stepfather) that I didn't meet their expectations of the type of boy they wanted. The writing of this hit such a tone within me by Mr. de Castell's writing style.

Great Ending to the Series!

Be sure to listen through to the very end. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Please let us renew our acquaintance with the Gang

This series is serious fun: the characters grab and don't let go, yet they do change and grow ( well, maybe not Reichus). While I enjoy de Castell's Greatcoat series, Spellslinger is more lighthearted and fun. I'll listen again in a while.

A good end to a wonderful series

This series has been a fun and thoughtful ride. While the protagonist can be rather whiny what teenager thrown into this kind of situation wouldn’t be? The arts of the Argosi are thoughtful little “tricks” that one can carry with them going forward. I loved this series!

love it

I loved this series. you get trapped in their world and get attached to the characters.
