Publisher's summary

With the demon dactyl and its foul minions defeated, the war-weary citizens of the kingdom of Honce-the-Bear wish only to begin rebuilding their broken lives. Yet the specter of civil war haunts the ravaged land - and a specter more fearsome still. For the demon, though defeated, was not destroyed. And now its vengeful spirit has found an unholy sanctuary.

The elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden presses north to reclaim the savage Timberlands from retreating goblin hordes. His companion, Pony, mistress of gemstone magic, turns south to the civilized - but no less perilous - streets of Palmaris. Suddenly they find themselves caught up in a ruthless power struggle to decide the fate of all Corona - a struggle that will push their courage and love to the breaking point...and beyond.

Ending lacking but still great.

Ending was a little anticlimactic and seemed like a series Ender even though there’s a ton more books. Wasn’t like I said god I have to get the next book to find out what happens.

Fun but wearisome at times.

I liked this book, and even though it’s not my favorite Tim Gerard Reynolds performance, it’s still better than 99% of those by anyone else.

My gripe is with story/pacing. I know setbacks are a key device in pretty much every story, but this seems to slog on with setback after setback, each accompanied by gross injustices perpetrated by cartoonishly evil villains. TGR’s voices for some villains even magnify this effect , and it’s the first time I can think of a TGR voice annoying me. Dialogue can seem a bit like you’d hear at high school drama club. Finally, can fantasy writers NOT make every elf a level 99 fighter/mage/rogue while most humans level 1 turd washers? It gets so old, as does the fawning language about their culture.

Anyway, good performance, good action w/good pacing, but a little heavy handed at times. I know I whined a lot, but I’m buying the next one now because I had fun listening to this.

DOESN'T START AT CHAPTER 1 BEWARE

Great book, unfortunately Audible did not place the chapters in the correct order. go to chapter selection and start at Chapter 16 and fast forward about 5 minutes in so the ending isn't ruined for you like it was for me.

Story taken to higher level

Book 3 clearly the best so far. Few monsters. Political battles. Human struggles. The series was obviously never meant to be a trilogy. Also, the series has never had a strong MC, which is why MC's keep getting replaced. This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Angry as hell

You got to be kidding me. The bad guys just keep getting away with everything. I honestly don’t even know what the point of fighting anymore. And the elves are selfish creatures they don’t help for crap. And yet, they still insert themselves to train rangers, hypocrites all of them. I’m about 5 hours from the end and I feel impotent just listening to the heroes just losing. The last book’s ending was already upsetting and now this book.

Bad Writing

This series had potential but like a lot of authors like this one they have no conception of human life. Even in a fantasy novel to make someone look completely stupid and then make them a hero.
Must be one author fallowing another in killing the lead roles

done with the saga

can't really stay invested in a story when you kill the main protagonist & make the unlikable, backwards developing character the lead. I'll stick to the Dark elf series.
