Critic reviews

"This is epic fantasy for readers who appreciate extra helpings of carnage with their backstabbing."—Publishers Weekly on Battlemage

"Stephen Aryan puts the epic into Epic Fantasy. This is a ground-shaking debut, full of fiery promise."—DenPatrick, author of The Boy with the Porcelain Blade on Battlemage

"A vivid and rousing adventure with the kind of magic that punches you right in the face."
—JenWilliams, author of The Copper Promise on Battlemage

"Aryan's battle scenes are visceral masterpieces that transport the reader deep into the melee. Read. This. Book."
—TaranMatharu, author of the Summoner series on Battlemage

a completely different story in the same series.

so this story was very well written and fun to listen to. it seems almost too just connected from the previous book, battlemage.. it's as if the author wanted you right a detective fantasy novel and stuck it in his series. with a couple different names it could have been a completely different story in its own series. It was a little bit too disconnected from the series for me.

Fantastic

The narrators voice is the best I've ever heard!! His tone and character voices are very pleasing to the ear

Great book

Well read and we’ll written . I was pleasantly surprised with the 2nd book in the series

pretty average

The narration is quite monotone, as far as character variances go. That may have added to the slight boringness of the story, although I did notice some relatively large info dumps disguised as thought it whatever it was supposed to be, pretty much straight into dump. it could have been very interesting and still wasn't bad, but didn't move quickly enough or carry a consistent enough arc to keep my attention.
