Rise of Cithria #3
The Breaking
Part three of an epic five-part fantasy adventure!
The depths called. Our heroes answered.
Aiden and his Calderan allies descended into the Endless Caves, only for one of their own to face death, while another faced a brother sworn to kill him. Cadman led the beleaguered Anduains on a search for Eilidh, who mysteriously reunited with her beloved Ruaidhri. And a trip into the caves by Pjodarr and his Bergsbor companions ended with near-tragic consequences for them all.
But after surviving these daunting personal journeys, the ragged, outcast soldiers of these warring kingdoms finally confronted each other, only to learn that a new enemy comes for them. An enemy who draws no line between Andua, Bergmark, and Caldera.
This unstoppable army fights only for Cithria, the city of gods long thought dead. From the depths of a subterranean prison, the city rises, seeking to reclaim its former glory.
Will the combined forces of Andua, Caldera, and the Mark prove strong enough to repel the imminent invasion? Or will they succumb to the decades of civil war that led them to Cithria in the first place? Find out, in THE BREAKING.
The sequel to The Descent, and part 3 of The Rise of Cithria, an epic fantasy series from Kris Kramer, Alistair McIntyre, and Patrick Underhill. Catch the beginning of an innovative new sword and sorcery adventure with elves, dwarves, dragons, and much, much more. Visit the4threalm.com for more details!

This book series is taken to another level with the addition of The Breaking. After reading the first two books I felt a little lost with some details concerning the world and the various races. This edition certainly cleared all of that up and made me go back and look at the first two books again to make sure I didn't miss any other critical details.
The previous books were split into three separate stories following groups of people that were not directly tied to one another, or that's the way it seemed to me but I might have read them a little too fast. If that format bothered you the good news is this time around it jumps back and forth between people in sections so everyone is progressing at the same time. And if the previous format didn't bother you, well the story is still well written and has a few surprises for you. Also, I think the action sequences have been stepped up.
For me it seems the pace has picked up since we now have a better idea concerning characters backgrounds. I found the new interactions between people who aren't allies to be entertaining as well. I find myself already pulling for certain characters while hoping some annoying ones get a smacking around. Thankfully the annoying ones are just written well and help deepen the story not make me pull out my non-existent hair. Now the only problem I have is waiting to see what happens next.

I'm still not sure why Goodreads lets me rate my own books, but I love this story!
