Publisher's summary

He left behind the Northern Kingdoms, tired of their wars and schemes. The golden waves of the Sea of Sand didn't drown him in fire, but the Evening Stars ultimately didn't bless him with their light. Despite his many adventures, despite the fact he's already endured enough hardship to last him several lifetimes, his soul was restless. Finally, Hadjar Darkhan and his friend, Einen the Islander, reached the capital of the Darnassus Empire - Dahanatan.

They managed to do something most other outsiders would deem impossible - they became disciples of "The Holy Sky" School of martial arts. What adventures await the former general and pirate? How will the very heart of the vast Empire treat them? What dangers lurk where the best of the Empire's warriors are forged?

Hadjar had no idea. Still, he continued to follow the call of his dragon heart. Wherever it took him....

Next Please

My plan is simple, Start reading the series again in hopes that next installment will be released. Keep up the great work!

thrilling

Loved it. Love the whole series. I am not able to put them down.

so awesome to see this level of magic the series

Really enjoying this series. It continues to have a great story line, with unique support characters and an enjoyable path for the MC. I hope that Kevin Collins stays the narrator of this series as he's done such a great job so far. I do wish the opposition characters had a little more variety in the "I'm mad, let's fight" voices. The "lower your voice and yell" voice that's associated with everyone makes it tough in larger fights. It would nice to hear more variety. That said, I'm certain none of us can really understand how difficult narration is and I hope Collins continues to be the narrator of this and many other series.
** I admit I'm doing a copy/paste on this series. I didn't review them when I listened to them but felt these books deserved a review.

addicted

absolutely loved it! finished in less than two days, I couldn't stop listening. already craving the next book!

The developing plot

The plot continues to build as people who were in the background of other books slowly find their way back into the story. This series continues to deliver on a thrilling and captivating adventure through what is honestly a fairly dark world. Our main protagonist goes through a lot and as he sees what is expected of him he only learns things will get harder. My only complaint and it’s been their since the beginning is the narrator needs to find his voice. A lot of scenes where the narrator imitates yelling when he should just yell. It kills the dramatics and shows how much better someone like Neil Hellegers can truly bring a story to life.

In my top 3 favorite series

So to start off - I’m up to book 9 in this series. I’ve read them via kindle and patreon.
I’ve enjoyed every single book in this series. It is so absurdly hard to find a series that continues to be good book after book. Each new book draws you into the story. Your left wondering what else will Hadjar have to endure. I don’t want to go into the story due to the fact I’m several books ahead of this one and don’t want to drop a spoiler by mistake.
I look forward to the next book in this series so much so that I buy - Audible and the Kindle versions plus support this author on Patreon as well. There is only one other series I look forward to as much - Beginning After The End.
Dragon Heart - Is a book that has a good pace. It definitely pulls you in - It’s difficult to stop reading this series once you start. The author doesn’t drone on with same phrases or with the MC inner monologuing about his miserable life or how unfair life is to him . The story constantly moves forward. All I can say is - I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do!

This is a pretty good book, I liked it

But seriously, that’s a massive d*** move to end the last book with the neuronet finally rebooting and then go the entire next book without it coming online…. It feels lazy and misleading when you ended the last book on that cliffhanger and then say it’s “recalibrating” for this whole book. Either way, not a bad book not great either. It feels like the author wants to introduce new characters but is really struggling with how to tie in their relationship. Character progression continues to be an issue, as the author can write interesting characters, but doesn’t understand how to progress their character (outside of the power grab) in any meaningful way, so Hadjar always talks about how he wishes his relationships with others could be different, but never is because the character gets killed off or some other excuse to disallow Hadjar to get to know them and make the author use their brain to invent new interesting people that are capable of developing over time.

A Pleasurable Listen

Kirill has outdone himself with this, his latest audible release. No spoilers, but let it be known that there are epic battles, a bit of history and an actual ton of mayhem.Kirill and Kevin have combined to make something great. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series.

Amazing series

I have been listening to this fantastic story for a year now and can say Kirill's work is simply amazing deep thought out story evolving characters and proper growth.

Enthralled

I started to listen to this series a while ago and I still find it interesting and very captivating. I has yet to let my mind wander far from what is happening in the book. When I listen to some series, that are good, but there are some points that make zone out and then have to come back and rewind to understand what is going on. Not in this series. It keeps you interested and wanting more. I have enjoyed this journey so far and wish to see what will happen.
