Brilliant battles of good v evil using just about every known monster and mythical beast. Recommended to all those who love to see the eventual outcome of such battles.
I haven't actually finished this set, but I will be picking it back up next year to continue on with the story. But it is good enough to rate it at 4 stars for what I have read so far. I love the story, but I just have not been in the fantasy mood lately.
Great idea, potentially a good to great series. Unfortunately let down by lazy plotting, a plethora of convenient conincidences, hidden tribes that everyone can and does find, poor factual research, unbelievable or missing back stories, melodramatic dialog etc. I am one third through this and it is time to call a halt. We have a group of heroes travelling through a desert to get to a vaguely defined destination for equally vague reasons. In this desert they encounter a tribe who want to kill them for drinking their water, big problem! So they have an archery contest with their lives at stake (aren't their lives already at stake?) and the targets are COCONUTS (see wikipedia to see why coconuts are less than likely in a desert where people die of thirst). The hero bowman starts with his own long bow and is persuaded to change to an opponents recurved bow part way through and still makes a miracle shot without practice and a strange bow (and arrow). Two nights later he is using his LONG bow inside the confines of a wooden ship (in the desert) to kill druids sacrificing his friends in a blazing bonfire inside the said dessicated hulk. And all the horses have names.
Princess Myriam and her bodyguard Hanley just want to save her kingdom form a usurping uncle. the odds are against them. death has followed their footsteps. but Myriam's amazing grandmother has tricks up her sleeves no one could imagine that lead to friends and friendships that remain. for once she saves her kingdom, she helps to save many others and helps unite them all.
this was the complete set. it was a great read. I enjoyed the characters, the locations and and interchanges. c'mon, enjoy the magic, if you believe
A true Heroic adventure. Finishes well. Jon Kiln writes in a way that leaves very few unanswered questions about plot or characters. This book is a pleasure to have on your night stand for the restless times before you can get to sleep. You always feel warm when you pick it up. It's a friend.
Ganry, Artas, and Hendon provide the heroic appeal to a good story. The heroines are strong, intelligent, and effective leaders in a time of treacherous allegiances. Forceful women you are glad to have on the quest.
Was a decent series. I was kind of blown away by how the final fight that we had been building up towards was over and done in a short paragraph! It felt like the professor said there’s 5 mins left on the test so it was a sprint to the end. I’ve read bad endings but I mean I could have written a more exciting end to this in an hour. Where is the editor in this? That’s who should be blamed!
The series was really good! Kept your interests all through the series. It was hard to put down, in fact I hardly did. I have a large cloud of books, with new coming daily. I did not even care about them, until I function shed the series.
Not my usual reading, but it made a change. I was in a hurry and downloaded a few books to take with me for a trip. This one I continued to read to the end and enjoyed it. Radarman.
A good fantasy read that I put away after purchase and picked up again this month. Solid characters and a good story line very well delivered, I very much enjoyed it and may revisit at some later stage.
Loved this series, got me hooked from the first book to the last, good story and charactors, no romance almost all action, just what I like, this series was ideal while stuck at home on furlong, recommended.
I am not the typical fantasy reader but I will say that throughout the book series, the story was consistently developed and one book blended well into the next. The author is creative and a very good storyteller. I'm impressed and really enjoyed reading it.
This is a lovely series that is really one book divided into five pieces. Mostly it is well written and cohesive but, unfortunately,the end of each book always seems rushed. A little editing would make this series into a great novel.
As a series this a rare combination of a well developed set of characters, excellent story line, action galore all I see the realm of fantasy. A fun read for anyone!
great series the editing could use a lot of work though and the author seems to forgotten that ganry's father died in the first book at his stepmother's hand but he still lived in the 4th book is a bit confusing and as the series started awesome it was sorely anticlimactic but all in all a good read
if every book or series started off this way authors wouldn't lose readers. this series started off with a thrill! the only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the horrible editing, other than that it's an awesome set!
