Resumen del Editor

The entity of Nolost has racked Rale with plagues, disasters, and armies of demons.

Dante, Blays, and Gladdic's final effort to defeat him has failed. Within weeks—if not days—Rale will be destroyed. One last hope remains.

They can't kill Nolost, but they may be able to eject him from Rale before he can complete his work. To do so, though, they'll have to destroy a world themselves: Olastar, the home of the portals that link all other places together.

Even with a guide to help them through it, Olastar seems bent on killing them by assaulting them with grotesquely warped animals and malevolent spirits.

As they work toward the world's core, they learn something horrifying: this strange realm isn't unpopulated like they'd assumed; it's inhabited by millions of people. If Dante and Blays want their own world to live, they'll have to kill every last one of them.

Simply Stellar

Galand is back and the writing is more amazing than ever. In some of the recent books the dynamic between Galand and Blaze was so overly sarcastic it was getting caustic and more like a sideshow but now it's much more balanced, the action is consistent and feels different and not like repeat performances. I never saw anything coming and so many plot questions and God interactions I had hoped for occurred. Get this!

Great Epic following a few characters

I love his works and sarcastic characters. This is a must-read if you like long last stories. Don't forget to read the first series.

Absolutely fantastic

Loved this book. All the twisty turns were delightful. Always excited when this author publishes books

Wild ride so far!

The worst part is waiting for the next book. This book is so good!

great popcorn fantasy

this is great mindless fantasy entertainment. the author doesn't get bogged down with too many characters, points of views or complex political machinations. just a fun trip with Dante and Blaze as they travel through this truly unique universe.

Great read

This is an excellent story as always! I can't wait to see where it goes.

Good story, but getting painful

Though they tried desperately to save Rale in the previous book, The Twelve Plagues, Dante, Blays, and Gladdic missed their deadline. Now they have only days, or at most weeks, to save their world. And they can’t kill the entity, Nolost, who is responsible for carrying out its destruction.

But Carvahal, the trickster god who is Blays’ patron, offers them one final possibility – not of killing Nolost, but of sealing the portals he is using to bring in monsters from the hellish place known as the Becoming.

Sealing these portals will require them to destroy another world, however, and to kill another god – one they hadn’t previously known existed.

To do this they have to go to this other world, which seems to be a series of nested worlds. It is just as dangerous as all the places they visited in the previous books.

The most interesting part of the entire book is when the king of this world gets them addicted to this strange drug they use to control their slaves (most of the population). The masters and nobles of this world maintain that keeping slaves is not immoral because their slaves are happy. They never mention that it is because they have them drugged. Dante and his friends very much enjoy the drug, but have a difficult time escaping its effects. But only when they do so can they find the place where the god they have to kill is being held captive – yet another world inside the others.

Though they hurt him, all their power is insufficient to kill this other god. They think if they had the power of the White Lich they could do it though. You know this is going to be a bad move, but they travel back to Tanar Attain, where they found the Lich to begin with. By the time they get there, you are about ready to destroy Rale yourself, just to get it over with. Of course, the Lich gets loose. They have to kill him something like three times before they can get him to agree to come back with them to kill Wessen, this thirteenth god.

The Lich does make an effort to kill the god when he gets there. Even that doesn’t help, though, and they finally destabilize the place so much that they are forced to leave. But in the confusion at the end, Wessen manages to close all the portals without dying. So now all they have to do is defeat Nolost.

After all this trouble, I hope they make it this time.

Tim Gerard Reynolds is once again a great narrator for Dante and Blays.

good

This series is good, has lots of magic and action that goes from one crisis to another.

Love this series

Tim does an amazing job at performing this series.
The only thing I hate is that I have to wait for the next one!

Keeping getting better!

Edward W Robertson is responsible for getting me to love Audio books along with Tim Gerard Reynolds of course and “The 13 God” didn’t disappoint to say the least. Eighth book of this series down plus two prequels and I don’t want it to ever end!
