Resumen del Editor

This omnibus contains the first three novels of the Frith Chronicles, all of which are also sold separately:

• Book 1: Knightmare Arcanist
• Book 2: Dread Pirate Arcanist
• Book 3: Coliseum Arcanist

Volke Savan has always wanted to be an arcanist - someone who has bonded with a mystical creature and is capable of wielding magic. Phoenix arcanists can create fire and heal, hydra arcanists can create poison and recover from most injuries, and knightmare arcanists are masters of shadow and fear.

After bonding with a mystical creature, Volke travels to the mainland, fighting through pirates, tournaments, and dastardly scoundrels, all to follow in the footsteps of legendary swashbucklers and heroes alike.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Knightmare Arcanist by Shami Stovall was rollicking good fun! Perfect for those who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series and the Harry Potter series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for." (Seattle Book Review)

"Dread Pirate Arcanist was everything I had hoped it would be, and then some." (Coffee Pot Book Club)

"Building on the fantastic story and characters of the previous installments, Coliseum Arcanist is a brilliant continuation of the Frith Chronicles as well as a triumph in its own right." (ManyBooks)

THIS IS A MUST READ

One of the best fantasy series I have ever read perfectly written and masterfully narrated I have listened to the whole series 5 times now and it just keeps getting better!! do yourself a favor and download this book

audio issues

A fantastic story for fantasy fantatics and those with a sense of wanderlust. Loving the story and the migcal mystical animals and their bonds with arcanist and all the colorful, unique and sometimes dark places they visit. My one major issue, was with random audio issues. Certain things like, chapter titled were very loud as well as certain very brief characters. I had a hard time listening due to the audio book after book 1 being significantly quieter... It was frustrating at times but I finished the arc. I'm glad I did and I will go onto the next book hoping the audio issues have been resolved.

patchy

I loved the books 1 through 3, and the reader was amazing. However, the narrator would constantly sound good and then suddenly be very loud, then suddenly very quiet. I keep my headphones at a set volume so I don't hurt my ears but it hurts when the narrator suddenly cuts in loud, almost shouting narrations.

I like the special effects for the combined voices of Vulc and Luthair.

Essentially everything was good, but the narrator needed to have a set volume and turn the gain down on whatever microphone he was using when shouting and turn it back up when speaking normally.

A wonderful young adult adventure

The main character is a young gravedigger apprentice. His parents are long gone, one was a thief, the other a murderer. More than anything else, he wants to be an arcanist -- one bonded to a magical creature.

The main characters are likeable, the villains are annoying but not disastrously so, the magic is fun and magical, the action is fast paced. As I went through it, I thought I saw the arc of the whole series shaping up ... but instead, I only saw where the first book was going. That's all a good set-up for the second book, and then the third book. The action is consistently well done -- but there's a bit of YA convenience about various plots. Still, I enjoyed it.

Highly recommended.

I enjoy character growth

As someone who's already read the whole series. Time does move and characters grow. I enjoyed the books more as the characters grew from children to adults. The narrator does a beautiful job of bringing the characters to life. I love this series! I can't wait to learn more about this beautiful world.

Huh...

it's a really good book, but I have so many issues with the choices the hero takes. there are so many things he could have done differently and gotten better outcomes.

the characters are barely readable

the main character in general is not a good decision maker just in general will let you down alot. and the character Zacsus or whatever is the most insufferable character ever written I have never hated a character more. He is worse than even the villains in the story if the character wasn't in the book I would like this book a lot more.

Great Magical & Monster Story

Saw a post on Insta from the author Shami Stovall basically saying she liked Pokémon as a kid but wanted something more mature. While that is an oversimplification of this series, it was enough to perk my interest and then the 1st book hooked me in. I’ve loved Brian Wiggins portal of the characters and the over all audible experience. Will def be listening to more from Shami and eventually happy to add the physical copies to my own book shelves.

Audio is a bit glitchy at times, but a good listen

The audio is a bit glitchy, super quiet at sometimes and super loud at others. But it is a good listen.

the best book I've ever listened too!

these three books in one audiobook were some of the best books I've ever listened to I didn't want the book to end I never wanted to stop listening. I'll admit when I first started the series the first half hour or so I did not like the narrator but then I did realize that he was portraying how young and naive the main character was when he was speaking and after that the book became a lot better. all the characters and the story lines really drew you in and I loved every moment!!
