The Threshold

Alastair Stone Chronicles, Book 3

De: R. L. King

Narrado por: Will M. Watt

It's been less than a month since Alastair Stone, Jason Thayer, and Jason's sister Verity discovered a monstrous conspiracy to take over our world one mind at a time. The battle in San Francisco struck a major blow - but it didn't eliminate the threat.

Not even close.

Where do the Evil come from? How did they get here? As Stone, Jason, and Verity dig deeper into these questions, they make a shocking discovery about the nature of the Evil - and what happened that opened the door into our dimension. What they find sends them on a desperate cross-country race from the wilds of West Virginia to the dark neon wonderland of Las Vegas as they attempt to stop the Evil at its source before it's too late.

From a new colony of Forgotten to a powerful and mysterious gray mage with unclear motives, they will find help in their efforts - but will it be enough?

Magicks and spells

I really love the storytelling and that I love the narration. I would always love this series.

such an engrossing world!

love everything about the story and the performance! if you like urban fantasy, read this series.

OH MY GOODNESS, SO GOOD

Thus far, it has been the best book. I really hope she brings Harris back. I would really like to know what kind of Mage he was because Alastair was not in the same league.!

I liked with the new character that you couldn’t tell if he was good or bad all the way to the end.

I liked that the new mage character was a plus for the story. I love this series and hope there are many more to come.

Maybe too much death.

loved this book and all in the series this far. However, I feel like there may be too much death. not with main characters but characters that have opportunities to become recurrent characters later on die off really fast. you meet a character and start to learn about them BOOM dead.

another fantastic piece of the Stone story!!

i love everything aBout Alistair Stone!! he, Jason, and Verity are my heroes!😁
can’t wait to see what happens next!!

Still not convinced

I am still not convinced that I’m going to like the series enough to read all 40 books. I can’t get over the fact that there is no mage governance in charge of keeping magic secret but there is a country spanning organization of magic hobos that mages don’t know about and seemingly no other magical species besides the Evil, which is a stupid name.

The first half of this book was good, and the setting of the second half was as well, but the location of the second portal makes no sense.

Spoilers beyond this point.

How in the heck did Stone’s ex setup a portal in the middle of a military base in Vegas when the other end is in a cave in the middle of nowhere? It makes no sense. Sure for a thematic fight at the end it was fun-ish, but it made no sense at all from a plot standpoint and ruined this book for me. It may have made at least a little sense if they discovered the base because Stone’s ex turned out to have been working for the government the whole time but then why the heck would the first portal be in some random cave in some remote town in the middle of nowhere and not another military base? But no, a bus of kids goes conveniently missing from the exact casino where his new ally is when they could have used a casino they already control since the Evil was supposedly pervasive in the city. Clearly we still have at least one more book with the Evil but I really hope after that it moves onto something more interesting or else I’ll be dropping the series. I doubt I’ll make it to book 10 unless things get wildly better.

GOOD. THE PLOT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE INTERESTING.

Alastair Stone, Jason and Verity are busy trying to find the portals and closing them to prevent more evils from coming through. There are lots of action and dangers facing them. They get to meet new allies and enemies. Enjoyable. Well written and well performed.
