Fyelrath & the Coven's Curse

The Reemergence #3

by Chris Philbrook

Welcome to the Third Novel in The Reemergence. Baby Astrid and the magic that she is grows older, and around her all things ancient awaken, changing the modern world, and not always for the better. Abe Fellows--recent graduate of Quantico and newly minted agent of Tapper--is sent to London to investigate a series of bizarre mutations that seem to have been infected by an arcane virus. All creatures great and small flee the waters of the eastern Atlantic, fleeing panicked and mindless to escape an unknown threat that comes from an unknown place and time, and Fyelrath brooks no assault on her domain. The dragon of water joins Abraham in his hunt for answers as threats emerge from the city as well as the deep. And it's only a matter of time before the eldritch threat rises up from its slumber, and consumes Earth. Again.

Sad to say that this is my least favorite book in the series so far. I thought Ambryn was okay because it was at least coherent until the ending when it felt rushed. Fyelrath lacked focus and reasoning. Often, I questioned a character's purpose in a scene. Why are they here besides being a side character until the very end? I thought the ending was worse than Ambryn; it felt unfinished. Fyelrath herself didn't have as much charm as Tesser or Ambryn, which I understand could be because of her lack of interaction with humans (at least from my perspective). I asked a lot of questions, received very few answers, and left feeling confused. I will say this, though: I listened to the audiobook. I didn't mind the new narrator (not as good as the original, but still decent), but I think that I could have had a better understanding of the book if I could go back and read the text myself. Let's hope that Tesser: A Father Enraged goes back to the roots and charm of the Reemergence series.

So far, I'm sad to say this has been my least favorite of the series. Tesser is my favorite so far, but I think Ambryn probably had the best and most solid plot. Fyelrath left me confused and feeling like the author left a lot of the plot and detail in his head. I still intend to follow the series, but I feel like the history and backstory of the dragons and who they are needs to be fleshed out some more. I'm afraid the books will make less and less sense without more explanation and detail.

I loved the first book of this series, but found both of the follow-up books to be a chore to read.

[C Phil · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was OK. I think the problem is that building these novels around the seven dragons means that there is a real lack of tangible threat. Because the dragons are pretty much omnipotent its hard to take any threat to those dragons seriously.

I also think that the only reason Chris Philbrook established the fact that two of the lead characters were WoW players was so they could use the phrase "Leroy Jenkins" as they charged into the final battle.

I also love the twists and spins that Philbrook has done with both the Dragons and the creatures of each book. This remains true for this book, Abraham and Fyelrath definitely take center stage and shine, but the attention given to the story of the antagonist is also very engaging.

Can't wait to start the next one!

Loved it!

While I always enjoy Philbrook's writing, this one was beyond exceptional. I couldn't bring myself to step away from the story, far too often for getting anything else done.

Another great story.

3 book in this series was just as good as the 1st 2. Please let there be a book 4 in the works chris!

[Eric Loflin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, but not as good as the first 2. Tesser only made a brief appearance for 2 minutes on a phone call and was a real dick about it.

[Marina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the best book in the series, but has filled in some of the back story of the dragons. I look forward to #4

[Tony Hinde · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series seems to be petering out. It's an okay read but has no deep emotional impact.

[Kris Mahoney · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was by far the weakest of the three novels so far, but it was still an enjoyable enough read.
