Wizardborn

The Runelords, Book 3

De: David Farland

Narrado por: Ray Porter

Wizardborn continues the story of the struggle of Gaborn, now the Earth King, who has lost his powers but continues to lead his people. He must contend with the threat of the huge, inhuman Reavers, whose myriads Gaborn and his forces must now pursue across the nation. It has become Gaborn's fate to follow, even into the depths.

Raj Ahten, the great warlord endowed with the strength and qualities of thousands of men, once the primary threat to Gaborn, now struggles to retain his own empire. His war of conquest thwarted, his very life is now threatened by the Reaver thousands.

And a young girl, Averan, who has eaten a Reaver and absorbed some of its memories, becomes a keystone in the search for the dark Reaver lair.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Farland once again proves himself a wizard at storytelling….This latest is certain to summon past readers of the series back to bookstores.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Colorful, inventive magics, vigorous plotting, and gore aplenty.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Farland’s massive and compelling saga, which began with The Runelords, continues at a breakneck pace….As in the earlier books, the danger and violence are larger than life, and many die. But any grimness is leavened by the strong theme of love and respect for the earth and its denizens.” (Booklist)

keeps up fast pace

This is the best book in the series so far. I haven't listened to the 4th yet, but I liked Wizardborn more than the first two(I gave all 4 stars). David Farland blends deep philosophy with near thriller-style pacing. The Runelords is a very different fantasy series for those two reasons. I highly recommend giving them a try, but you've got to start with the first or you'll be lost.

A great 3rd story to this series

This story was a great story in the series. It did a great job setting readers up for the final battle that is sure to come in book four. Each beat, scene, and act was astounding, tugging on the emotions until the very end. I can't wait to read the next story in the series.

The series kinda slows down

1 and 2 were more engrossing this one lagged a bit. was still a good book and I'm enjoying the series immensely.

enthralling

I have enjoyed this chapter in the saga I've listened and learned a great deal the reality of jetty life is very engrossing. looking forward to the next chapter

Pretty descent book

This is a fast paced book, which I like. The characters are well developed and have deep personalities. Overall this book was thoroughly entertaining.

Great story

I love this line of stories and the voice actor is phenomenal. The only thing which is extremely small in my opinion is the amount of time that doesn’t pass lol all of this happening in like less than two weeks is crazy but they’re rune lords so doing all this without rest makes sense. Still great

wonderful continued story

farland continues the story of his runelords series. You. can see the story arch with raj attan turning away from the weavers while the earth king tries desperately to keep back the weavers.

The Story Continues...

This book continues the story of the new "Earth King-Gaborn as he follows the horde of Reavers. He has lost his powers and now questions whether or not the Earth will help in the upcoming fight in which man-kind will soon face. Raj Ahten who has more endowment and thus the most powerful man in the world is struggling just to keep his empire under his rule. This book is well written and bridges the gap between "Brotherhood of the Wolf" and "The Lair of Bones." The narrator Ray Porter does a good job of bring the book to life in this audible edition of the print book. I would recommend this book for any Epic Fantasy book readers.

Choices and Consequences

Where does Wizardborn rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Automatically among the top of my favorite books i've ever read. Absolutely loved it. I immediately went through the rest of the series and am now awaiting the final book!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sir Borenson is my favorite character, and I think it's because it was really engaging to watch his struggle with the terrible choices he had to make, not just in this book, but throughout the series. Wonderfully written, and I totally related to him on those levels, even though I am nothing like the character.

Any additional comments?

Fantasy novels usually base themselves in their world building and lore, and hang everything on that. Runelords, even though the world building and lore is absolutely amazing and among the best i've ever read, these book then go a step further. The story deals with choices, actions, and consequences. How would people react to these situations, and what then would the results of those reactions be? Full of wonderful characters, expertly written, and perfectly narrated, it doesn't get much better than this. I highly recommend this book (and the entire series).

Good continuation

I love that new interesting characters are added to the story as the main character losses some abilities.
