Hammer of Time

The Reforged #3

by Erica Lindquist, Aron Christensen

Time heals all wounds. Duaal Sinnay may have banished Xartasia and the Devourers from Prianus, but they're not gone. Maeve has gone to warn the Central World Alliance, but they have no interest in fairy tales and stories of monsters. So when rumors start of a mysterious White Queen promising the return of Arcadia, the Alliance takes no notice. Now it falls to the crew of the Blue Phoenix to discover what is happening. Maeve has little doubt that Xartasia is this White Queen, but if that's true, then how can Devourers help her to bring back the kingdom that they themselves destroyed a century ago? Whatever the answer, it promises nothing good for the rest of the galaxy... Hammer of Time is the third book of the Reforged Trilogy. It may be cataloged here as #4 because the Forged short story collection is recommended to be read between Sword of Dreamsand Hammer of Time.

About the author

I never had any intention of writing. I loved reading, but had no ambition to write myself. But then, in college, the fever hit. I started writing and haven't stopped.

DON'T MISS THIS EXCELLENT TRILOGY!

This is the first books I have read by Author, Erica Lindquist and I am so glad I did.

The characters are well developed and it is easy to love the good guys and hate the bad guys. There is the basic good versus evil plot and many subplots that include everything anyone could want in a story. There is war, intrigue, sci-fy, fantasy, intrigue, romance and mystery and so much more.

Don't miss out on this exciting trilogy. KUDOS Ms. Lindquist on a tale well told.

Best of the trilogy. The scale of the story spans not only space but time, and the characters develop in new directions while remaining true to their essential natures. It's space opera, so don't expect long treatises of the gadgets or planetary geography. The world-building was meticulous and detailed, that's clear from the vivid descriptions, but there's just enough to set up a beautiful stage for the cast to play out their sweeping drama.

A satisfying end of the trilogy, although I was missing more of Maeve's epic battle scenes that we got in the first installment. Despite being the last, the plot line did not suffer. I like this book book the most as there were hardly any of those massive info-dump moments that we witnessed in the first novel. instead we got some more of that desired character development that everyone likes by the end of a story. Overall, an enjoyable read, although the grand resolution was a bit meak.

Wrapped it up.

This wrapped up the story nicely. It is a bit wordy and repetitious, keeps saying the same thing over and over again and goes into too much detail (kind of like this), but eventually gets around to telling the story. I don't think I would buy the series at full price but it was worth what I paid.
