First off, fewer spelling and grammar mistakes. A better story than the the first two books. This story didn't feel as rushed. I now have some idea what might happen in future books. Finally, the character's charmed life seems to be over. I was getting tired of everything turning up roses for an untrained Mage that only has a rudimentary book of magical instruction.

The idea and plot of this book absolutely spectacular. I wish I hadn't messed up and bought this book instead of the first in the series. The reason I'm giving this book a 3 rather than a 4 or 5 is simply because of the spelling/grammar. I can ignore small things, but this book has a lot of errors. It has enough errors to make me wary of buying the books before this one.

This book was so tedious. It was honestly the same thing happening over and over again. Practicing enchantments, fighting, looking for food, blah blah blah. I was honestly looking forward to reading this one, because of the ending of book two. Now I kinda just want to stop even though I did enjoy the first two. Hopefully it gets better.

Still Mixed

I really am enjoying the storyline but truly wish more attention had been spent on editing. These novels are so full of grammar and spelling errors to the point that those errors become quite distracting to the fluidity of the novel. I will give the next one a go but if the errors get any worse, I'm not sure I can bring myself to pay out any more money to finish this series. That'd be sad because there is a promising storyline. Just wish a little extra care had been spent editing so that storyline could actually shine.

Underground Endlessnessly

Humans have a fear of being trapped underground for any long period of time. Imagine a book of being trapped without end. Thad eventually saves a dwarf and a "rock dog" (only way to describe it). They get into a set of fights that take up most of the book.
Thad finds that the known history that the humans have is seriously wrong and misleading.

I had a hard ti.e getting through this story of constant fighting and hiding. Thad has figured out how to use his magic much better, but without a teacher he is doing the best he can.

Read in 3 days

Jackson keeps the story rolling beautifully, adding complications and balancing out the whole thing perfectly.

Fun adventure

Exciting, adventuresome, full of surprises, a good read for anyone especially those of us who enjoy science fiction and fantasy

[Stephen Levesque · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thad has found himself trapped in the endless subterranean tunnels. not only must he contented with the suffocating darkness but many of the creatures he had only read about in stories now haunt his every step. his only link to the outside world is a small sending box that only works every few days.
Good characters, good story. If you can get past the grammer mistakes, this story os worth reading. It is a good book, not great but entertaining.

[Andrew Fielding · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had to give this book 5 starts because even though it was rife with bad grammar, Spelling and misused words I was so caught up in the story I could not put it down and had to immediately move on to the next book when finished.

[Will Wittmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was definitely surprised by this book. After the ending of book 2 I expected the underground adventure to be only a small step in the beginning of this instead of the entire book.

[Idan · Rating 3 out of 5]

a bit better than the previous book. the writing still showed improvement, but not by much. the story was still interesting, though..

[Len Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

excellent. I am still having trouble with men being slaves, and the women are free or citizen within the country. Otherwise the book is well writtien.

[Shady Lubbad · Rating 4 out of 5]
