Aether's Band

Aether's Revival, Book 12

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

The Magus posting in Krogga was over, and Gregory and his many wives had finished it with the quiet days they’d all wanted. It’d been an odd five years that’d seen them embroiled in wars, assassinations, political incidents, and far more. The majority had come during their first two years, making things fraught during that time.

Good times came for them, too, even if some were attached to dangerous potentials. Claudia Firetongue, protégé of Archmage Aliminus, was brought to Krogga to become the new ambassador for Buldoun. That pulled her back into the circle of the Pettits, who acknowledged her as their secret, hidden wife. Alminus felt placated that they weren’t trying to court her, giving them the minimal freedom to love her the way they all wanted to.

Elsa Bommet, their longtime friend, came with Yukiko’s family to visit, too, with more of her odd past being revealed to both them and her. In the end, she stayed true to her dreams, wanting to stay and be their maid and maybe their little sister. That set her on the path of staying in Krogga with Verka to take care of the Warlin’s home and business, meaning she’d eventually be tested for aether outside of the official channels.

Time slipped away from all of them with the happiness they had, and before they blinked, their posting was over; now, it was time to return to the empire to be posted as their clan required. This trip would be their last time as a nearly-full family for decades or centuries, so they’d treasure each day to tide them over until they could steal moments together with their loved ones.

With so many freshly-minted master magi, wheels would begin to turn. Their rise in power—and the growing power of all Aether’s Guard’s younger generation—was causing waves in the empire and powerful clans. If Aether’s Guard assisted and made alliances to share their power, it would cause problems that might only be solved with blood and death.

Fantastic

Great book, I need more though. This book has touched my soul and I'm fully committed to it.

Transition Book

I am reading this series for the plot and powers. Unfortunately, this book is almost entirely interpersonal. However, I understand that different arcs, so to speak, need a connector.

My only real complaint is that I think this should have been book 11.5 or just the first half of book 12, not its own book.

Such a great book!

I was so happy to revisit some of the characters I loved from the earlier books and cant wait till the next book comes out! I will eagerly be waiting for it!

Fantastic continuation

Loved the expansion of the family, the interactions of old friends & the direction of the storyline. Looking forward to the next book, in both print & audible, but hate the waiting!

Fantastic as always

This is book 12 and the series is still great. Now the long wait begins.
