Dark Tales of Randamor the Recluse #7
The Invisible Hands - Part 4: Mate
Anaxantis, prince of Ximerion…
In the aftermath of the fall of their city, the fortunes of several Naodymans are turned upside down. If the insurrection of Trachia against the Lorsanthian occupation is to succeed, Prince Phrademys needs to be its focal point. However, he first wants to find out what happened to Thenoclon. There is hope he may still be alive, since Commander-General Meri is selling off the entire Naodyman population into slavery.
Antybion has concluded his mission with success, but before he can be offered a new challenge, an unexpected death occurs.
While the Rhonoman general, Hirmon Marradar, confidently continues his march to meet Lorsanthia’s largest army yet, Anaxantis seems to tarry and steer his small force away from all possible confrontations with a far stronger enemy. That is, until he explains his plans to his officers.
In the Highlands of Great Renuvia the patience of the hardliners of the Mahpodah is running out. While Lady Brynda tries to play for time, several of the rebel lords entertain their own ambitions. Even some of Ehandar’s squires are involved in this dangerous game. But Count Cynbenor will have none of it and he means to force a decision. For the Highlands to be free again, Anaxantis must never return home, in his opinion. If the warlord doesn’t fall in battle, he and his brother, must be killed.
Ehandar is unaware of how dangerous the situation has become. He learns that some of his squires are involved, and as a result he is about to sink into a depression. Once again he feels he is at the mercy of circumstances he can’t control, and his old demons resurface. When a mortally wounded squire tells him Anaxantis’s life is in danger, he snaps out of his morose mood…

I'm a huge fan of this series, which has just gotten better with every book. It's long, super complex, basically a total geek-out for fantasy fans, Game of Thrones for M/M readers, but unlike its more famous counterpart in Westeros, the world of Anaxantis and Ehandar has never lost my interest over the seven volumes published so far. Andrew Ashling does an especially terrific job with the dynastic/political elements, weaving together a crazily involved plot over four volumes to deliver a series of thrilling and satisfying denouements. Special praise goes to the battle scenes, which are just riveting--Ashling has a real talent for explicating macro-level military strategies and then dramatizing how they succeed or fail, always interspersed with the micro-stories, both tragic and triumphant, of beloved characters and feared enemies, ordinary soldiers and generals alike.
Over all of this the character of Anaxantis looms as the author's surrogate, plotting and predicting, manipulating and adapting--to the point that the story is his at the most concrete level of being put in motion and created by him. It's a fantastic device, one of my favorites, and crucially, Ashling has created a character that is worthy of it. Oddly, I can't say as a reader that I ever identify with Anaxantis--rather like the rest of the novel's main characters I find myself caught up in, even seduced by his brilliance and charisma and overall glamor.
I don't mean it as a criticism, more an observation that this volume provided less of a definitive ending than I expected, with several characters' destinies and political crises still up in the air. Hopefully this means that the author is working (expeditiously I pray) on yet more volumes set in this world.
I'll put in a word here on my one major complaint in the hopes that subsequent volumes might address it. This book falls into the Tolkien trap of providing depressingly limited roles for women, who barely register in entire realms (there is literally not a single female character, named or unnamed, of any class in the entirety of the section focused on Lorsanthia). In their exceedingly rare appearances in other sections, female characters are almost always either servants or mothers of major male characters. The main exception to this is an intelligent, beautiful woman, also a strong leader, who ooops, falls hopelessly in love with an openly gay and otherwise totally unavailable man. This is such a common problem in fantasy and sci-fi, that I'm finding it hard to penalize a series that for better or worse I enjoyed immensely. But this is an old, tiresome problem, and keeping within the admittedly militaristic patriarchal society he has imagined, one that I sincerely hope Ashling rectifies.
Bottom line, that annoyance notwithstanding, this is probably my favorite M/M fantasy series and I was very happy to see that despite the satisfying resolutions offered here, Ashling appears far from done with his tremendous world.

3.5 stars!
Mate was an entertaining read for me, although not as much as the previous book. As a conclusion to Anaxantis' campaign, this book ended well and the turn of events were rather unexpected. Again, I really admire Anaxantis' cleverness and his smart mind. I like how Anaxantis outsmarted a lot of people, highly experienced or not, to achieve his goals without sacrificing a lot of blood.
Knowing more about Ehandar and Anaxantis, as different individual, and as a whole made me happy enough. I've witnessed how their relationship started, deteriorated and regenerated, their love becoming solid and more compassionate. It was a challenge for not every moment of it were good but I came to understood, if not accept them.
As for other matters, this book left a lot to wonder. Is this the end? Or just a start for another journey? Whatever it is, I'll surely want to read more about Ehandar and Anaxantis. The same goes for the other tales untold in this book. I would love to read more about Antybion too.
And the book covers...whoever created the new covers of The Invisible Hands series did a great job!
“I just rearranged the pieces on the board, as you call it. How the players move them is their responsibility, not mine. Whatever differences they have can be settled in a peaceful manner. If only they so desire.”

“What would I be without you? There was a time I looked up to you and there was a time I hated you. But even when I wasn’t looking up to you, I kept looking for you. Neither in awe, nor in hate, and most certainly not in love could I ever live without you.”

Reread 1/2016
5 stars!!! This series is full of books that are so far above all others that it makes you want to go back and change your ratings for everything else you’ve ever read.
The last line of the book suggests there might be more to come but as the last book of 'The Invisible Hands', it was perfect! This story is not slowing down at all. Most series deteriorate after a few books but this series just keeps going. The complexity of the story is amazing and the subtlety (the moving of peaces on the board) is absolutely brilliant!
The other reason I rate this book higher is we got to spend more time with Anaxantis. I adore him and getting glimpses of his plans in his mind and seeing the results - just witnessing the machinations of this one 18 year old boy is wonderful!
Thank you author for another great addition to this series which I LOVE!
And please give us more :)

Progress (1%)
One of THE most underhyped series out there in my opinion. Such a complex and well developed story full of political intrigue, humor, suspense, military machinations.. deserves so much more! At times the scope of the many people with their own perspectives and motivations, and the twists and turns have reminded me of an M/M Game of Thrones

Loved this book, loved both series. Ashling can really spin a tale. I liked the way the ending left a door open for possibly more...

11/29/14 - EDIT: Mr. Ashling commented below that the original version of Mate has been re-edited and the corrected version is now available.
3.5 stars - Another wonderful addition full of all the things I've come to love and expect from this author, as well as some surprises, after following this series for over 4 years purely from a storytelling standpoint. However, the editing became an issue for me this time around. It was challenging enough trying to keep up with the ever growing ginormous cast of characters, places and all the events going on around them to then have to deal with editing errors that became too numerous and glaring to ignore. I had to screech to a halt more than a few times to fix sentences in my head so they made sense. Something that surprised me tremendously as I don't remember this being an issue before. Another round of editing would've made for a smother read. Bumped up to four stars since I've been invested in these guys for years and I loved how it all worked out...so far?

The best review I can give a book is that i closed the cover feeling fulfilled. I closed this cover feeling fulfilled. It would be hard to not enjoy this series.

A Good Read That's a MUST READ!!,
The end of the Invisible Hands Trilogy (in.four parts) is all that I could hope for.
There were so many story lines in play, I couldn't imagine how he would finish them all. But he did it without missing a beat. Some didn't end as I expected, but that makes it even better. The best part of all is that he left several lines wide open so there could be room for another series.

The best truly adult fantasy series I've read, so far! A gritty, raw & often ruthless world, sometimes humorous, (sometimes weirdly humorous), with steamy realistic sex, (that often doesn't go exactly as planned), and through it all the growth of an M/M love story, forever timeless.

Way To Tell A Story!
So many unanswered questions, I need to know more! When does the adventure begin again? I'm ready to get lose in this world again.

I read Pawn Storm in January and then I opened Mate in my reader and noticed it had some 550 pages (according to my reader) and I was like there is no way in hell that the author will be able to give this book a good ending with the innumerable loose ends some of which were created in the previous books itself. It felt like the loose ends from six books had accumulated into a crushing pile which would bury any hope for a decent end to this series. So I didn’t read this book but now almost 4 months later the story that I had left incomplete started nagging me and I felt I had removed myself away from the series enough to not be horribly disappointed if it all went to hell.
But the author came through and I must commend him on the ending of this saga, even if the ending is more open ended than I would be comfortable with personally but I am a 100% convinced that it was the perfect ending for Anaxantis.
I wanted to give this book four stars but this book deserves those five stars. The author was facing some insurmountable odds but he managed to give a very satisfying ending to all the major plot-lines even though there was one that was left for now (remember the open ending) and it was the story line that actually heralded the beginning of this saga, but that last line really blew me away, but it was very unsettling.
What I loved was that the ending gave us enough time to reconcile with the end and we got lots of Ehandar and Anaxantis. So that was good.
Overall this book was a hit and I am very sure that this book would have been better if I had read it right after Pawn Storm.
But while the author managed to give us an awesome story there are minor plot-lines that were left hanging, of the top of my head –
1. The incest question, is Anaxantis really Tenaxos’ son? – but atleast it was talked about so even though I respect the author’s choice, this is one question I wanted a concrete answer to, because in some ways Ehandar and Anaxantis don’t look anywhere near the stability a relationship requires.
2. Antybion – I for one wanted to know if he had really been the one who killed Termannyar’s son, the servant who did something wrong and the prisoner but I guess now that I sit typing this I just realised that we actually did get the answer to this… huh? But the answer still leaves many interesting stories to be told...
3. But I guess the most unfinished story line would have to that of the high priestesses I mean what was their purpose and what did they get out meddling in Ximerion’s affairs, I mean personally there just didn’t seem to be any way they could have ever achieved any of their highfalutin ideas.
4. Lee-Lack Scarminckle and Norri-Nack Scarminckle- there introduction in this story made no sense and continues to not do so, I mean were they ever significant but the fact is that they were and I want to know more about the fate of these characters especially because the fact Noori survived is going to be detrimental to Lee's plan.
5. Garth, Bortram and Marak - we never did get to know what happened to these three charcters who were quite important early on in the series. But especially Garth, I would have loved to see his story get completed especially because he was mentioned to be in distress and I wanted to see him restored. Also Anaxantis’ pages Obaynn, Ry and Rahendo but while it would have been nice to see them again, I agree the role of these three characters for the most was over.
6. The Devil’s Crown…?
But surprisingly while I thought I had a lot of points and yes there are a lot of things this story got embroiled in that it never gave us to the conclusion to but more or less the author satisfied all of our curiosities. I guess this book has earned those five stars.
EDIT: Okay this might not be the last in this series, also the author has a free story on his site about Lee-Lack's gold and also if there are to be future books one thing I definitely want explained is the identity of Randamor the Recluse.

Truely a magnificent book and series of books. I have enjoyed them all though at times there where story lines I did not like. There are so many lovely MM. Couples here they could each have their own set of books, perhaps in some distant time they will.
One of the niggles I have about the main romance story line is it still is one sided. The hero is anaxantis! And yes I am a big fan and what he experienced was horrific but to me the biggest victim is Ehandar. In one of the last dialogues between Anaxantis and Ehandar when it is Ehandar who is opening up, they go down the feelings of his imprisonment and rape of anaxantis but there is no ref of the equally horrific if not worse treatment of Ehandar ( perhaps that was what upset anaxantis so much when he saw the dungeons in the Devine palace) by anaxantis. Perhaps the storyline in the future was/is to further develop this relationship. If ever it happens can I put in my tuppence worth of advice - if the relationship is real then make it equal. Anaxantis has to own up (honestly and openly) to Ehandar, until then anaxantis can not say "I love you".
But Andrew thank you for a great journey. I will keep in touch with your website

I really loved this last book of the Invisible Hands series. It kept my interest from the very first page until the end. The series of 7 books as a whole was excellent. Actually ended up being much,much better than I originally expected. I love all of the various plot lines and how each of them were resolved. The bad guys got what they had coming to them, which is always nice. The editing could have been a bit more thorough. There were incorrect or missing words here and there. But all in all, I loved the book and hope that maybe the author will write another series that perhaps takes place in a few years from the end of this story. I really love Anaxanthis and Ehandar and their relationship with each other. I really liked how the author didn't skip over the battle scenes and included the planning of how Anazanthis' army would maneuver. The author made these parts really easy to visualize. But I do really hope to be able to read some more about these characters in another story or series.

This m/m series is one of the best I've read. I enjoyed reading them all immensely.
Ehandar and Anaxantis <3 arrrggg one of the best love stories EVER! >.< the hardship, battles, misunderstandings, nightmares, monsters, backstabbers, everything you could think of, they got through it all and came to truly find one another from within and the author made them so through this amazing story. And the ending. Loved it. I truly loved reading this series, and stayed up two days and nights practically reading from book 1 to 5 the first time I discovered this series and author. I never took a break from reading from book 7, and it's quite a long read. That just shows how much I could not part from this book till I got to end because it was soo good and you get practically drawn into it ;) It seemed like this was the last book of the series, and if it is, I think this was a good end. If not, Im down for MORE ^^ or maybe a new series =D ***.
