ABOUT ME:
I graduated with honors in Business Accounting, but instead of pursuing this field, I returned to school to study film. I spent the next several years honing my visual craft, which I put to good use as I took what I’d learned behind the camera and applied it to the written word.
On April 14, 2014, I opened my laptop and began typing what would become two multiple award-winning series: The Aldoran Chronicles, and Street Rats of Aramoor (both set within the same world, but twenty years apart). By the time my second book released, I had quit my day job, walking away from production altogether, to pursue my writing career.

Dissapointing
Generally, I've really liked this series. I would give the first 2 books a 4.2 to 4.5. They were well written. This one left a lot to be desired. Basically, the MC spent the whole book being an idiot. He and his friends were attacked by his enemies multiple times. The MC, a trained assassin, also had multiple chances to rectify the situation by killing his enemies. Instead he spares them they then try to kill his friends again, he spares them. You get the point. How many times do people have to try to kill you and your loved ones before you realize they can't be bargained with? Then at the behest of his enemy who tried to kill him and his friends he takes on a ridiculous mission to break into the palace and steal the King's signet ring. Mind you, he could have much more easily killed his enemy and eliminated the problem all together. Basically, the whole premise of the book makes no sense. The whole thing rests on bad decision making followed by highly improbable situations followed by more bad decision making. Also they kept worrying about money when the MC could literally break into anyone's home and steal plenty of gold. Keep in mind the group's main source of revenue is stealing. At one point in the book, the group considers stealing food from another street gang. The MC refues to steal from other kids. Mind you the other group of kids had just kidnapped members of the MCs group with plans to torture and kill them. Meanwhile the MCs group is facing starvation. The logic in this book just doesn't add up.

Keeps being painful
The first two books were a little painful, since he is supposed to be one of the deadliest assassin’s in the world, part of a tribe of assassins, successfully infiltrates the home of a city magister, and then keeps putting himself in the power of thieving children, the first time or two you could allow but it just keeps continuing in this book… There is almost no logic to it other than to out him behind the eight ball as it were. He keeps doing the impossible because his tribe needs money from the thieving, yet with his skills he could just go and steal bags of money oand keep them well fed… I had to stop reading at the part where he supposed to steal something from royalty, just for the right to continue thieving in a poor part of the city… How biblically stupid would you have to be to do that rather than just go directly for money, wealth and power stopped reading

Michael Wisehart is one of my favorite authors, alongside Michael J. Sullivan, John Bierce, and Brian McClellan. So, I was extremely excited to be part of the “review team” for Rockslide, the third installment of the series Street Rats of Aramoor.
In this book, Ayrion finds himself responsible for a group of outcasts from the various street tribes of Aaramoor. Starving and harassed by the other tribes, the outcasts are struggling simply to survive. Feeling the burden of leadership, Ayrion and his friends Reevie and Sapphire endeavor to save the outcasts as well as the members of Hurricane by earning entrance into the Guild. However, nothing is ever easy, and several members of the Guild are eager to see the demise of Ayrion and the Hurricane tribe, so they ask an impossible price, one that Ayrion cannot pay without extreme risk to his life.
If you have not already done so, I suggest re-reading Hurricane (the second book in the series). It has been a long time since I read it, and consequently, when I started reading Rockslide, it took me a while to recall who the various characters were and how they related to one another.
As I said before, Michael Wisehart is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy the way he writes. Personally, I thought Rockslide was a little slow, but that may be due to the fact that I know where the story is going. I have read, and truly love, The Aldoran Chronicles and know the role that Aryion plays in that series. Consequently, I am very eager (one might say impatient), to see how he gets there. However, Rockslide, like the other Street Rats books, primarily still deals with Aryion’s life on the streets of Aramoor. So, I guess I will just have to learn to be patient while I wait for Aryion to grow from being a street rat to the character he is in The Aldoran Chronicles.
A little bit of waiting never hurt anyone….right?

This is an ongoing saga of us-against-them. I loved the climax because I’d been drawn to love the king and queen, whom I’d expected would be the ultimate bad-guy enemies, and I grieved when our protagonist, Ayrion, was pitted against them. When a royal appeared in a meeting of street gangs and commanded one of the gang leaders, “Silence, peasant, before I have you flogged!” pandemonium broke out and made the knowing reader laugh.
“‘Peasant?’ Kore raised his blade and took a step forward. As soon as he did, the entire front line of lancers stepped forward as well, drawing their swords in perfect unison. Even Kore had enough sense to recognize a losing battle and quickly retreated.”
Yes, this is the third of a series of stories with constant battle scenes and pride-filled abuse. Clans and tribes pitted against each other in age-old prejudice rings of modern reality. It is a story of the plight of homeless children, and a lad who thinks his people are named as famous assassins and killers, only to learn from a gifted crippled boy that his people’s name really means Protectors.
Constant scrapes with near-death make this an action-packed YA story. Mr. Wisehart did a delightful job of world-building. The characters develop slowly, beginning as flat, easy to predict people, but then surprising the reader with choices and actions one did not anticipate.
Win or die? Thirteen-year-old Ayrion recalls a warning from his years of training: “‘No one plans to fail,’ I could hear my instructors say, ‘except those who never plan to succeed.’” Yet many of moments he was attacked were so sudden that he could not have planned for them.
This is a fun read. I got a little tired of the brutal beat-em-up encounters, but I loved the story line and the heart for a better world for lost kids. The author’s talented sister made each book polished with her lovely illustrations at chapter headings.

I have to say, Mr. Wisehart has poured his ability to make characters come alive into this series. This third installment is better than the first two.
To me a good book of fiction and fantasy will get me lost in the wonder of a new world. I am very stingy with my reading time, so if you have not dragged me down the rabbit hole in the first chapter, I move on.
From start to finish the Characters, the world, and the magic are spot on, and I never looked back. This series gives a glimpse of one of the author's main characters in his first series. I found myself rooting for this young man, who against all odds fights for what is right.
A plus in Wisehart's writing, is that it is clean language, nothing loss in the story, but I feel free to give to my young nephews and nieces to read.

Great Series!
This is the third (and I believe the last) book in the series.
It's a wonderful coming of age story, as thirteen year old Ayrion gets banished from his own people and family and learns to find his way in the world.
Ayrion struggles out of one nail-biting crisis only to fall into another one. The values his father taught him making him true friends just as much as complicating his life. He picks up needy strays and ends up adopting a whole tribe of orphaned street kids.
The writing is excellent, with only a couple instances of the ubiquitous phrase "let out a breath he didn't know he was holding."
I'd rate the series PG-13 only due to the violence - there is a lot of painful fighting, and a couple oblique references to rape.
I highly recommend this book and series.

Banished and Hurricane were so good, I have been looking forward to the third book in this series, and Rockslide did not disappoint! Mr. Wisehart is a very gifted writer of epic fantasy. His books are fun, exciting, and enthralling. His story-telling draws you in and makes you feel like you are part of the story. His creative and descriptive writing takes you there, to see what they are seeing! The world of the five Kingdoms is amazing and believable! There is not as much magic in Rockslide as in his other books, especially The White Tower and Plague of Shadows, but Ayrion’s Upakan training, along with some magic, helps explain how a 13-year old can accomplish so much! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Mr. Wisehart’s books, and if you enjoy good fantasy, I highly recommend them!

Another Great Story From Wisehart
Whether one is reading about the fantastical happenings found concerning magic, and it's banning, around the five kingdoms, or the day to day troubles faced living in the streets of Aramoor, Michael Wisehart never disappoints. The characters are fleshed out to the point that they are seen as friends, or enemies, as real as any one may actually have in real life, the problems faced and conquered real enough to actually relate to, yet removed enough in other ways to satisfy fantasy readers yearning to leave "the real world" behind, for a short while at least, and enjoy a place where friends are true, enemies clear, and where there is a real chance for the right thing being done actually occurs and carries the day.

Okay, I'm still on board. This book series is a quick, fun, and easy to read non stop adventure that makes you think, "Oh my gosh, really, what is he going to do now?" But, not in a bad way. Kind of how you would look at one of your children, knowing that they really mean good - but the outcome is not always what they expected. Good intentions......
Still alternating between listening and reading and still enjoying TGR as the narrator. I REALLY enjoyed the ending to this book - but I think it was because we FINALLY get to see the connection to how Ayrion ends up at the beginning of the White Tower. There seems to be a set up for another book in this series, but I'm not sure. I guess we will see.....

Third book was good as the previous two
I found this one a little slower than the previous books, but it was well worth reading to the end! Third book in a series usually dips, but this one remained good.
It's survival of the fittest in a city. Tribe Hurricane has to prove their place, and it falls to Aryion to keep . The adventure takes him to higher parts of the city, and seeding friendships that are sure to last.
Nothing really to worry about in this book. The worst is a statue of a naked woman and a few borderline scenes, but keep fair modesty. Still a good read with fun turns of plot.

Book 1 was Ayrion's banishment as we follow him across the kingdom. Book 2 is when he arrives in Aramoor, learning how the five gangs work.
Book 3 just didn't work for me. I'm not going to recap the plot, but I found it slow and unengaging. I will say (slight spoiler) that book 4 brings some energy back into the series.
How these gangs stay together in the first place boggles the mind. These are kids who have no idea how to run an organization, develop logistics, plan for the future, etc. The fact that even one exists, much less five is surprising.
Then again, this is a fantasy series. Suspension of disbelief is the key phrase here.
Decent if forgettable. 4/5*

I was really excited to get my copy of Rockslide. I've read all of Michaels books and this is one of the best. After reading the first few pages I realized that I needed to re-read the first two books in the series. Banished (Street Rats of Aramoor: Book 1) and Hurricane (Street Rats of Aramoor: Book 2). I'm old what can I say? I forgot all the details. LOL, anyway it was exciting to go back and review and was I ever ready to read Rockslide. I hope he continues pumping out books in this series. I definitely don't want this to be the last! I was up all night!

Book 3 still enjoying
There were a couple of spots in this 3rd book that had me feeling a little irritated and a little bored but the didn’t last long and got back on track in my opinion,
For a bit we lost the strong boy trained to not be afraid and I was a little upset that in disguise having people who know you terrified you are so scary and yet a stranger with a knife on him didn’t bat an eye nor even mention the disguise! Then more strangers in broad daylight also seemed to no notice and those who did barely which was very odd!
Still great though heading to book 4

This was a great read! I can't wait for more.
I lived it, right along with Ayrion & the others. The story is full of fun and excitement. And it's as serious as a heart attack and as descriptive as 'pus flaming bunions'.
Ayrion is a very young and talented boy who leads a rag tag band of kids on a journey that's sure to tickle your funny bone and heart strings. And leave you wanting more.

Another winner!
I just love these books. Storylines are so good. To realize that these are just children who are doing all these things is pretty cool. I always get regretful at the end of a book , because I have to wait for the next one to come out! This one was definitely worth waiting for. I always wondered how Aryan met the king and became friends with the prince oh, and now I know 😀

Fantastic story
Having just finished all of the books currently in the arc, I would highly recommend them. Starting with Mr. Wisehart's free "Shackled" to the White Tower series and then the Street Rats of Aramoor, the story and characters keep building and growing. I for one cannot wait for more adventures of Aryion and hope he continues both the Street Rats and the White Tower arcs.

The Protector Emerges
Ayrion emerges as The Protector to the Hurricane street rat gang he is part leader of and cements his place in the history of street rats in Aaaramoor, forever changing The Guild and starting a friendship in the royal palace. The surprise ending had me standing up to cheer Aaryion and the Hurricane street rat gang and brought a huge smile to my face as well as a chuckle. Michael Wisehart wrote a trilling 3rd Book in the Stret Rats of Aaromoor series.

An excellent sequel to the Street Rats of Armour series. Very well written story with great world building and strong character development. The characters are believable and have good personalities. A hard to put down book that I highly recommend! Will be patiently waiting for the next book in the series.

Love it!
I really enjoy this series of books. Aaron is my favorite character and there are others that I love too. Them there's the characters you love to hate. This is a well written book with a good plot and lots of anxious moments along with some funny ones too. I am looking forward to more books in this series.

I like the world he’s built.
I think that the author has done a good job of building a world for his characters. He has the right amount of tension and just enough comic relief to keep me reading. And not enough editing errors that the reader can recall them or be bothered by them.

Read Both Series for Full Enjoyment
I’m thoroughly enjoying both the Aldoran Chronicles and Street Rats of Aramoor series. Rarely do you get to know main characters backgrounds in such detail, which furthers humanizes them to the reader. At the same time allowing the reader to connect to them at a different level.
I’m looking forward to your next novels for each one of them.

It is a huge disappointment on this book. This whole king’s ring business is too unbelievable. The main character’s intelligence seems extremely low. He dares to try stealing king’s ring, to fight king’s guards , risks being sent to dungeon, but not dare to face his true enemy and he keeps trying to gain their approval. What kind of brain he has?
This makes the book fail.

A rousting good read
Street rats have a challenge to rise to and they manage to get into a lot of trouble along the way. From stealing other rats from a dungeon to climbing walls and breaking into the palace and making a friend of the prince. The leaders of the hurricanes take on almost more than they can chew in this episode of the street rats of Aramoor.

The leaders of the hurricanes take on almost more than they can chew in this episode of the street rats of Aramoor.

fun but slower than the other two
The pace of the series slowed in this installment, yet the story continues strong and consistent.
I have the feeling you can skip three paragraphs of every five, and as long as you read the dialog parts and you will be missing very little of the plot.
Still it was a very fun read, definitely will read the next books soon.

Guild payment met
As the Hurricanes had various missteps and failings trying to meet the requirements for belonging to the guild they finally got everything that they required except the kings signet ring. Which Aaron did his best to obtain. But did he obtain it. The twist at the end surprised me as I'm sure it will you.

4.5 stars. Great adventure with non stop action. It is fun to see Ayrion slowly developing into the character we know from the white tower. This book has a lot more humor than the last installment, which was very much appreciated!

Another exciting read. I think this is a trilogy but I would like one more book to bridge the gap between the Aldorian Chronicles. Nice to see how Aryion grew up. He has a heart of gold but a penchant for trouble.

Good Read.
Good yarn. Author is getting better each time out. There is room for another arc for these characters and enough plotlines to spin a few off. Looking forward nto see what comes next.

Better and better
Michael Wisehart is one of my favorite authors. The stories quite unique and not predictable. The character development is great. The pressure and tenderness just keep ratcheting up until the end. Can't wait for many more from Wisehart

The first half of this book didn’t feel believable. But I’d liked the first book, and this was earnestly told with enough heart to have me continue. The second half was less believable, if you don’t infer motives not explicitly stated, but I didn’t care.
