Powers of the Six

Emissary of Light, Book 1

De: Kristal Shaff

Narrado por: Gary Furlong

Six rare powers govern the land of Adamah. Possessing one demands entrance to the king's army. To refuse means death.

For hundreds of years, dark clouds covered the skies of Adamah, and an ageless king ruled. Those who emerged with one of six extraordinary Shay powers were forced into the king's army, an unmatched force with inhuman strength, speed, accuracy, perception, empathy, and healing. With the army behind him, the king - a man who wields all six abilities - was invincible and unquestioned in his rule.

To most, serving the king was an honor. But for others, it was a fate worse than death. When 17-year-old Nolan Trividar witnesses the transformation of his brother from kind to cruel after entering the king's army, he vows never to follow the same path.

Powers of the Six take you to another world where the smallest person can do extraordinary things, the undead infest the night, and the sun emits more than just warmth and light.

Fantastic story

Really loved this book. Received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

The story sucked me in and the performance by Gary Furlong was amazing! His characterizations were spot on and so numerous you won't beki

It had a chance

Any additional comments?

It had a chance, but it just missed it. Its a bit boring, a bit predictable, and bit too outrageous. If you have nothing better to do with a credit, you could do worse....but also much better.

Interesting Story

I got this ARC via audiobook boom. When I first started listening to this story I was prepared to be bored but the author surprised me after the story took off. It took several chapters to get there but when it did it was awesome. The ending was a surprise and a slight cliffhanger although the book did come to a conclusion. You know that there is more to follow to complete the story. The plot twists and battle scenes were well done. The narrator fit the story as well.

An enthralling story.

The characters in this audiobook are fun to get to know and the story line is very powerful. It was a joy to listen to. I received this audiobook for free and voluntarily reviewed.

Powers of Six

Decent book. Seems to be meant for teens or young adults. Magic system was interesting and narration was well done.

Where's the sequel in audio form?

I love everything about this book, from the superpowers to the character relations to the promise of the next story. Which I really hope they use the same narrator for. Seriously, what's taking them so long to record it?
This isn't the first story I know of to use 'magic' stones as the source of powers, but I like that the powers are what they are, and the idea of a tournament to find the gifted ones. I also like the way the 'power corrupts' theme is explored in the person of the king, versus the 'choices matter' theme embodied in Nolan and the choices he makes along with the fears he has about his powers.
Nolan is my favorite character, followed by Alec and then Emery. Nolan sees himself as weak, mostly because of his older brother, but he's actually a brave guy. Alec transforms from a cocky teen with a bit of spite to a trustworthy friend and finally learns valuable lessons about his own weakness. Emery seems to see a lot of himself in Nolan without realizing it. Emery helps Nolan see himself and his abilities more clearly, and Nolan does the same for him in the end.

Fantastic performance by Gary Furlong

The story was gripping and amazing. I finish the story faster than I was planning. The depravity of one of the characters makes me hesitant to share with others, but it is definitely a story I wish to continue with book two.
