The Third Scour

The Cycle of the Scour, Book 4

De: Edward W. Robertson

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds

The young sorcerer Cally has routed the Mallish invaders from Collen, the home of his love Myla. For the first time in a long time, the land is at peace.

But few believe it will last. Brought before Collen's highest authority, the Pastkeepers, Cally is told a deep secret: the Rod of the Devil's Tongue, the artifact he used to defeat the Mallish, has even greater powers than he knows. If he can unlock them, he can drive the Mallish out of Collen forever.

Under the Pastkeepers' watch, Cally and Myla travel to Ilonia, the city of canyons and canals. There, they learn that if they want to unleash the Rod's full strength, they will have to tame the soul of the Devil trapped inside it.

The Three Tamings are a dangerous task. Filled with dark mysteries and grotesque monsters, the ordeals threaten to drive Cally mad. As his mind frays, Mallon stirs. If Cally can't take the Devil's power for himself, Collen will fall.

A tale of war and love among two young sorcerers, The Third Scour is the boisterous finale of The Cycle of the Scour.

Loved learning about Calimadicus

I have truly enjoyed hearing about the life of Cali. He was such an interesting character in the other series. Makes me want to start all over again even though it’s daunting. Every one of the books in the cycle series is entertaining. I want to thank the author and narrator for their amazing work.

Satisfying conclusion

The four-book Scour series was quite different from the Cycle of Galand in that it did not drag on too long. The conclusion was not quite what I had hoped for, but it worked, nonetheless. The series is presented in the first person, which I personally prefer, and getting a glimpse of a young Callie was certainly fun and provided more context for Callie in the Cycle of Arawn. I am motivated to go back and re-listen to the Cycle of Arawn now. Overall, this conclusion was very entertaining with one implausible adventure after another as Callie and company try to undermine the Mallish empire. TGR was his usual fantastic self, adding depth and personality to each character as only he can. Another great performance.

good story and well written
