13th Paladin, Book 7

De: Torsten Weitze, Tim Casey - translator

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

Time is running out for Ahren as he and Khara leave their companions under cover of darkness and make their way to the Eternal Empire. The Pall Cloud is spreading relentlessly, yet the full complement of 13 Paladins have still not gathered together. But the couple are finding it impossible to find a way through to the notoriously draconian and reclusive empress, and all their attempts to enlist her support in the war against the Adversary seem doomed to failure once Ahren falls into the clutches of Quin-Wa's Peace Sentinels. While his friends seek a way of evading the empress's charm net in their efforts to help, Ahren and Khara find themselves battling to stay alive.

i feel stifled for the main character, Ahren is too soft

Love the story, but don't get me wrong, I was disappointed that Ahren really doesn't get much by himself character growth (with no one from his group of friends around). It really disappointed me that right when the alter ego would win (temporarily or not). I found this book that I love the character more when they are by themselves and not babying or pampering eachother. Friends and lovers are great and all. But I as a reader feel stifled that he needs all this help. I'm going to hold out hope that that mysterious creature after Ahren, allows for what I wanted to happen with the alter ego.
I've read books where groups travel together to get strong and beat the bbeg, but none of them have felt this stifling. I have high hopes that the rest of the adventure doesn't have Ahrens companions and wolf making me want to unlive them for Ahrens growth. No good character growth can happen when being followed by 3 father figures, a mother figure, a wife, and aknow itnall wolf stuck in ones head 24/7 for almost 3y. this small reprieve didn't help when he was too damn excited, for help instead of solving his alter ego problems himself.

review

awesome character development, great action and magic. very good book. can't wait until I get my hands on the next one.

storyline

I enjoy the story in the book. I think separating Ahren and Cara for part of the story, was a jolly good idea

Character development.

Loved the characters. Every one of them have shown multiple personalities but there was always a cause for the change which always left you wondering which one will win out.

Wonderful Character Development

The characters in this book series have been so well defined that i feel like I really know them. The continuing saga has left me astonished on how well this story arc has been conceived. Although it may have been intended for young adult and up, I can’t get enough of it. Good clean adventures that people of all ages can appreciate.

decent

the story dosent disappoint just like the previous books. the only thing I disliked was the constant change of storys every 10 mins

I really enjoyed the characters in the story as well as the constant battle between good and evil.

Aside from poor editing in chapter 13 of Battle for Hjalgar and the constant unnecessary use of different forms of “orientate”, I have no complaints

The series is absolutely amazing!

The twist and turns in this book alone were amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat! And the more you go on the more you’re just like whoa! I love how much the characters have to overcome and develop to move on

Fantastic series, can't wait for the next one

Great performance of a great story. It is good when both come together, it makes for an enjoyable listen.

dark turn to our hero

this installment of the story sees our hero dealing with his inner demons which is fun
