Resumen del Editor

The Mage-King of Mars is dead. Chaos rocks Olympus Mons. A new monarch must rise - but she does not stand alone!

As the celebration of the victory at Legatus cools, a shuttle accident claims the lives of the Mage-King of Mars and his heir. The Crown and the Mountain fall to the Mage-King’s daughter, 16-year-old Kiera Alexander. She recalls Damien Montgomery, her father’s First Hand, to stand as her Lord Regent.

The pair are unprepared to govern but are thrust into the heart of Protectorate politics as the Mage-King had left behind everything from an unfinished war to an incomplete new Constitution.

Even as they get a handle on the list Kiera’s father left them, Damien is grimly certain of one thing: when it comes to the deaths of Kings, he doesn’t believe in accidents.

Jawdropping story

Jeffrey Kafer is an outstanding narrator he really brings Damien Montgomery and company to life.

narrator almost ruins story

I have enjoyed the entire series and look forward to book 9 coming out soon. I will tolerrate the narrator because I want to know what happens next. However, the narrator makes it difficult to enjoy the story. He delivers every other line as if he is MCing a big fight. Every sentance that Damien or the Mage King speak are emphasized in a way that make them sound like egotistical self- important idiots. Thnk of the line, "Frankly my dear, I dont give a damn." and imagine every line from a particular charactor spoken with that much passion. Sorry this review is more about the reader than the book. But, when I recomwnd the audio to friends, I have to warn them that if they cant tollerate bad narration then they ahould read it instead of listening.

Needs more battleships

OK, we had plenty of build up. Start with the human harvesting already. seriously, we are waiting

awesome

finally the fight I have been waiting for. nicely done. wish it was a bit longer. cant wait to see where the next book goes. please make book available sooner on audible.

Last book for me

Last book in the story for me... main cast is gone and we get the b-cast instead in the next book if you wanna know what happens next ask reddit

predictable

This entire entry in the book series was predictable

Overall It was enjoyable

I’ve noticed over this authors career in his later books he tends to insert little SJW Powerpoints
The popes a woman
The senator from earth is a token black man
The Mail general that screws up is replaced by a woman most of the warship captains are women

It’s so ham handed sometimes it’s almost laughable like an editor is going back and doing it after the fact
If it’s the author he should stop doing it if it’s the editor then they should stop doing it

If I want to hear political message i’ll go watch CNN or Fox News

Good but feels to set up...

This feels both to for told and way to rushed... Less then over book 5 and 6 we were told both the Mountain was vulnerable twice the fleet flag ships and The Hands and a conspiracy has put Damon as Acting King of Mars. When in chapter one why did Both Dezmands both get in a shuttle of any kind at once. They should have been on a Battleship.

A book about reclaiming Lagotess and tracking down The mastermind

This book needed to have something like DMA 3 should have the chose do the sacrifice to save his son or the man who can save them all and his daughter Damon.

Micheal is just way to good in this to fast for needing training wheels with Damion to start.

Fine Buildup to Final Volume

I have really enjoyed this series and look forward to its concluding volume. The forensic/detective focus of this volume only added to the story for me as detective procedurals are another of my favorite genres.

Bummer...

Except for the first chapter, the rest of the book was a detective story filled with the forensic discussion! I really like the previous books, especially at the very beginning, but the author seems to have lost the "magic" that was so enjoyable to read in previous books!

I may not purchase any more books from this series!

wow

great book. big shock. I guess that shows how invested I have gotten into the characters and the world.
