Magelands Eternal Siege Series, Book 1

De: Christopher Mitchell

Narrado por: Shaun Grindell

A city ruled by Gods, a mortal champion, a misfit girl, and a disobedient dragon....

Stolen from his home, Corthie Holdfast has arrived in the City of the Eternal Siege as a new champion.

He must fight alongside the Blades, whose lives are dedicated to the defense of the city against the hordes of monstrous Greenhides; or die at the hands of the Gods who rule.

Maddie Jackdaw, a young Blade, faces her last chance. Thrown out of every unit defending the city, either she takes on a new role, or she will be sent to the Rats, a company of misfits given the perilous tasks beyond the Great Walls.

Her new role, if she takes it, will bring her face to face with her deepest fears, for beneath the walls, in a secret and hidden lair, lies a dragon, imprisoned and waiting....

intriguing

I liked the constant flow of the story and the characters. I mom forward to the next book and having more inclusion of the dragons.

The ending gets very interesting

The development of the characters and story was quite long and a bit hard to follow. I lost the thread between the main characters and few times. The narration is sometimes like a news cast. The ending got very interesting so I may get the next book in the series to hear more about the dragons and a couple main characters

Great story

I have listened to all 6 books that have been uploaded and love them all.

Decent, if formulaic story

Fairly entertaining, but the narrator was not great. Character development was shallow, but the dragons are cool.

CLIFF HANGERS for 17 books DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

This is a great story, but it ends on a cliffhanger. Book 2 isn't even a cliffhanger; it just ends with NOTHING resolved. It just flat hangs you out to dry. I discovered there are 17 books and 11 of them aren't even available. Good grief. Neither of the books I've listened to so far tie anything up so you can feel just a little gratification for listening to 27 hours of a great story with no ending. It would help me want to move on to the next one if there was a smidgen of satisfaction but there is NONE.

DON'T WASTE YOU TIME unless that's all you have is time because I fear there is no ending whatsoever in any of the books.

Unreasonably stupid characters.

The premise, world building, and general delivery of the story are quite good. The narrator is also very good.

The only problem I have with the story is that every character we get as a PoV is makes obviously objectively bad decisions in pretty much every scene they are in. The story is mostly propelled by the blundering of the main characters which I find infuriating

Exciting

I liked how there were different stories going on all at the same time. Each character added to the story as a whole. Great read!

Black rose

The entire story line was attention grabbing from start to finish. extremely exiting read. Can't wait to read next book

Great Story!!

Awesome story as well as the performance of the guy reading it aloud.. He has a beautiful way of bringing the story to life.. Thank you

I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to listen to the second one!!
