[Carolyn · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just awful. We are starting to get recycled story lines from earlier books. Darius and Thor are almost the same. Erec/Alistair (still think its a boys name) are facing almost identical circumstances as Thor/Gwen from a few books earlier. Who is Reece's great love? Is it Selese or Stara? The answer is, whomever he is with. It is getting annoying. Andronicus/Romulus/Volusia are like the last Caesars of Rome. A new one every few months. I am sure that is on purpose. I really hope he/she throws in the towel on this soon. I prefer to see series through to the end, but I'm not sure I can stand much more of this.

[Rodney · Rating 2 out of 5]

As with all the others, bad editing, easily-predictable plotline, and blatant stealing from other works. That said, Rice does always leave the plot hanging, almost forcing you to read the next one. Of course, only because the plot is dragged out through the myriad of sub-plots, almost to the point of making things absurd. Why I continue to punish myself, I don't know. Fortunately, I always check it out from the library, so I at least don't regret having spent any money! I absolutely don't recommend this series. The writing is bad. At this point, I've read too much not to see it through, but I won't rush to get the next book.

[Jeffrey Nadelman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just end already please. I am so vested in this story line I need to see how it ends. But seriously, enough is enough. Stop adding characters and elongating a story that is long enough already. Make the next one the last, please, please, please.
Don't ruin a good thing by dragging it out.

[Caillen Jenner]

It was probably the best book of the series. There were many unexpected twists and turns. But all the books sort of repeat themselves. It is always the same plot.

[Edwin · Rating 2 out of 5]

Het lijkt er op dat we nu gerecyclede verhalen krijgen. De persoon Darius lijkt heel veel op Thor; Erec en Alistair hebben nu haast dezelfde problemen als Thor en Gwen eerder; Andronicus/Romulus/Volusia lijken haast dezelfde persoon te zijn.

Net als eerdere delen bevat ook dit deel weer de nodige (ver)taalfouten en een voorspelbare plot-line.

Thor. In de eerste paar delen kon ik hem nog wel pruimen, maar hij begint me steeds meer te ergeren. Thor is aan het eind zo machtig dat hij het leger van de KONING der doden de baas kan, maar uitsluitend omdat hij zich weer eens op het laatste moment herinnerde dat hij krachten had.

Ik zal deze serie uitlezen, gewoon omdat ik nu al zo ver in het verhaal zit, maar het absoluut niet aanraden aan andere lezers.

Vraag me trouwens af hoe de serie zou zijn geworden als een betere schrijver dit had geschreven.

Proofread!

This author needs a proofreader so badly.

Repetitive sentences over and over again

Wish there was a way to get a refund

[Silvia · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have read every book in the series and it seems like there are more grammar errors the further the series goes. I would definitely recommend that an editor be hired to edit any future books as this is truly beginning to bother me. This book was just ok. I think it's time to wind the series up. There just can't be much more that can happen and the new characters are just not that interesting.

[Ashton Noel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Almost finished! I can't handle some of these storylines much longer.

[Jennifer · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is no longer a religious allegory, it's straight up religious propaganda. Did the author do no research about druids before writing this? Because druids believe in the magic of nature, not "the one true god" as Thor says when he commands the elements to transport him and his friends to the top of a volcano. Also, the author clearly knows nothing about tornadoes as one gently moves Thor and co. to the top of the volcano. Nothing about a tornado is gentle. Then we have the baby dragon that saves Gwain from the volcano, but nobody sees the dragon? Nobody? So Thor goes to the land of the dead, gets into a fight, pulls ANOTHER magic sword from a stone, and wins his freedom but btw he has to take 7 demons with him. Then there's Gwen. She lands in the empire and the town agrees to help her and her people hide in the mountains so they can recover. Oh, and Kendrick's boo is the older sister of magic Darius, who keeps getting into trouble because of his new girlfriend. They have now killed at least 4 empire men and he's ready to start a war. Gwen is going to help him with his war. And the new queen we met last book. She killed Romulus. Everyone is telling her to be worried about retribution and instead she declares herself a goddess. Then she goes to the Mad Prince and asks him for his army. He says he only grants requests after killing the asker so she changes tactics, steals his crown, and tells him her real request is that he spend the night with her and then kill her in the morning. Well, turns out she has a magical pussy and all of a sudden he is no longer plagued with madness and is completely sane. He does the only logical thing and asks her to stay with him and they can rule together. Instead of agreeing she decides that everything in her life has been hard, so gaining control of the empire has to be hard too so she throws him off of his balcony, announces who she is to the onlookers and claims power of his city. This is too much. I hate everything about this series and cannot listen to it fast enough so I can just be done with it. It's a good thing my mom lied when she said my eyes would get stuck if I didn't stop rolling them because the amount of times I eye roll while listening to this is ridiculous.

[Dr Anurag Jena · Rating 4 out of 5]

By A Rule of Queens, the series had become enormous.
Gwendolyn was leading the remnants of her people through the Empire, Thor and his Legion brothers were continuing their search for Guwayne through increasingly strange lands, Darius was fighting against slavery, and Volusia was becoming a major power in her own right.
There was certainly never any shortage of things happening.
In hindsight, though, I can understand one criticism other readers had: some of the newer storylines started resembling things we had already seen. Darius in particular sometimes feels like another version of the young underdog warrior story that originally made Thor so enjoyable. Even several relationship and political conflicts begin to echo earlier parts of the series.
I doubt I noticed that nearly as much back then.
At that stage I wasn't looking for extremely sophisticated world-building or a carefully constructed magic system. I wanted adventure. I wanted Thor and his friends travelling into dangerous places, armies fighting impossible battles, sorcerers, strange creatures and characters becoming stronger.
And Morgan Rice kept things moving so quickly that there was rarely enough time to become bored.
If I read it today, repetition would probably bother me considerably more. At the time, however, I was still having a lot of fun.

[Carola · Rating 3 out of 5]

Volusia är ju en karaktär för sig... Lite som en kvinnlig Ramsay Bolton (från Game of Thrones). Men samtidigt som hon känns ungefär lika grym känns hon mer galen än Ramsay, han kunde i alla fall planera sina grymheter. Volusia känns mer rörig i sitt agerande, vilket gör att hon blir svårare att ta på allvar. 
Jag upplever att det finns fler likheter mellan den här serien och Game of Thrones. Thors vandrande fram och tillbaka till exempel, det går att dra paralleller till Daenerys Targaryens vandrande. Men jag får ju säga att GoT är en bra mycket bättre serie än denna, även om denna är helt okej ändå. 

Betyg: 5/10

[Pepijn · Rating 2 out of 5]

The logic is missing in a lot of places Thor goes to the land of the dead but first he isn't planning on comming back just because his child is maybe there. He doesn't seem to care that his wife is still alive.
Then when he is luckly and finds out he can go back 7 demons are brought into the world while only 6 people go back to the word. It's weird because the king of the land of the dead first states that for every person that becomes alive again 1 demon goes too.(on of the stays behind so that should be one less)

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have the bundle, 13, 14, 15, but wanted to post a review for #13 whilst fresh in my mind.

This installment has many twists and turns, furthering the many adventures in this epic fantasy. We follow many of the characters and their choices, each fascinating and engaging. The themes of honour and love are still strong and power-hungry villains are forever thorns.

Action-packed, imaginative and philosophical.

Recommended but it's a long haul.

[Aleksandra · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wykreowanie bohatera idealnego nie zawsze jest dobrym pomysłem na fabułę. O tym zdaje się zapomniała Morgan Rice. Coraz bardziej denerwuje mnie nieskazitelność i nieomylność Thora, a także brak wad i zadziwiająca umiejętność przetrwania. Być może Thor ma po swojej stronie bogów i przepowiednie mówiące cały czas, że jego koniec jeszcze nie nadszedł, lecz każda jego walka z nie wiadomo jak wielkim przeciwnikiem nie daje czytelnikowi odpowiednich emocji.

[KK from KY · Rating 4 out of 5]

More of the same. Continuing on to the next. I do enjoy these stories. This one introduces a new evil queen into the mix and a new hero to be as well. We shall see what becomes of them and the original cast.

[Caron Aspinall · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

Worthy of being in this series. Just love this series and already purchased the next 4 books. Fetch on the rest. 😀

[Greyscotty · Rating 4 out of 5]

My usual comments about this series apply abundantly to this volume: not a bad story but absolutely lousy writing and editing. I don't know why I keep coming back to it. Moving on though.....

[Suki Rickey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book 13

Book 13 was a fun read and had errors throughout. The characters and plot development is ever changing with each book and each becomes more bold.

Once again I have found a good book in this story. I found it hard to put it down until the end.

Great series

I have enjoyed reading this series but they need to proof read better. Lots of mistakes. I would like for the ending to be happy so these poor people find love and peace.
