Mandate of Heaven

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons, Book 11

By: Selkie Myth

Narrated by: Andrea Emmes

Sentinel Dawn has returned.

As Sentinel, Elaine has no end of tasks. From a shakedown run to find a fellow Earther, to Iona's new kitsune [Squire] Nina, to a whole new set of skills and abilities from [Loremaster], Elaine is busy. Her name is starting to be known on the world stage, whether she likes it or not.

Through all that, Elaine is informed that the Sixth Legion is going to be deployed to the Han Empire, to put their thumb on the scale in the great civil war, with each of the factions claiming the Mandate of Heaven has fallen on their shoulders. From the thousands of men and women of the Sixth, engaged in deadly battle, to a low-level and vulnerable [Squire], Elaine has to shield and protect her allies and prevent them from coming to harm. As an Immortal, she's not supposed to interfere in mortal affairs. If the deadly Wardens catch wind of her, a swift execution is the best she can hope for.

The bigger question looms, her sacred [Oath] demanding a response—When does she heal her enemies?

Another great addition

Fenrir being a washed up personal investigator is by far my favoritist thing ever.
10/10 I need more. Where’s the next 11 books?

Ethics rehashing and missed opportunities

As others note in their reviews, the rehashing about the oath is really annoying, over the top, and doesn't really advance anything. Should have avoided several chapters worth of annoyance by just laying out the difference between her ranger duties and soldier duties. 2-3 paragraphs, done.

There are also a number of issues that Elaine just keeps suffering under so the plot can stay as is. This doesn't make sense. Why would Elaine spend literally years with out taking a few steps:

1) Give Iona & Nina healing gems & arcanite.
2) Giver herself some healing gems to deal with apples, or some potions?

Can’t wait!!!

Can’t wait for the next book in the series to come onto Audible really loving this series!!

the voice actress is great

The story is great, I actually enjoy it, but, I spend half the book fast forwarding through the constant moral mental arguments the MC repeats over, and over, and over... it gets really tedious when all you think is, my god get over it already.... it's completely unrealistic. But, if you get past that, then the story is actually really good!

Love This series

I absolutely love this entire series and hope it continues, I was drawing out the last book as much as possible in wait for this one, I can't wait to see what comes next I love it!
