The Chain Breaker #6
The Order Returns
The arrival of a dangerous sorcerer forces Gavin to confront his past.
As Gavin works with the El’aras to master his connection to the ring, he learns of an El’aras prophecy that speaks of the Shard and a Champion.
One must destroy the other.
Though Gavin doesn’t believe in prophecy, he can’t deny that he’s caught up in something greater than he understands—and begins to suspect he’s been guided toward his fate.
The arrival of a powerful sorcerer tests Gavin’s belief. If he can’t stop the Sul’toral, he might have no choice but to fulfill the ancient prophecy and destroy someone he’s come to deeply care about.

I need the next book already. I’m hoping there is a next one anyway. It was left pretty open at the end for another. This had even more action than the previous ones I think and o enjoyed every minute. I definitely could have had more of Wrenlow though. That’s my only complaint. He wasn’t involved enough and I also would have liked to see more of Mekel. The enchanters are interesting but not used in the story enough in my opinion. Regardless, I loved it so 5 stars!

Good series
I enjoy adventure and fantasy books. This series falls into those categories. They seem to be tailored to young adults or mature teens. There is very little sex in them, which I like. There are some typos throughout the bok though.

Gavin is
still
working with Anna of the El’aras to control his magic and better understand it. The question I have is can he use his core reserves without blasting it through stuff as is his usual M.O..? ;)
The main characters stories are constantly developing at an enjoyable pace as they do throughout all the books. There are lots of little gems dotted about the book such as different types of golem, magically created objects and other magical beings.
As usual there is a threat to Yoran which I won’t go into detail about as it would spoil it for future readers. I will say that Gavin could be more than he thinks he is but at what cost to himself?
A thrilling ending to the story in the form an unexpected new alliance. Jam packed with beautiful fighting styles, new characters, sorcerers and lots of magic with the odd prophecy or two thrown in to spice things up a bit. A fun read with lots for the imagination.

Gavin Endures
Gavin struggles through yet another series of fights with forces attacking the city. Friends are defended and Gavin’s power is stripped away. As usual, he is battered and beaten while still being victorious. He must find out for sure what his purpose is and what it has to with Anna and Tristan.
This poor guy keeps coming back for more of the same battles with magical forces. Somewhat repetitious but still enjoyable.

Bad
The writing is at a level that would be acceptable for a 10 year old. The plot contradicts itself, often within the same paragraph. If you can say something once, why repeat it ad nauseum? Sorry, guys. I enjoy fantasy fiction and have stuck with this series for 6 books, but I just can't take anymore.

Really tying things together
The sixth book in this series really started to the the previous books together and to in all the gaps. Gavin strikes out surrender his prophecy, Anna still his many truths from him, and the full meaning out teamwork finally becomes something that Gavin understand.

This series has been entertaining yet after 6 episodes its about time the author brought it to a conclusion. One can only ‘nearly break the world’ so many times before we stop caring if it actually happened!

Was a pleasant read
I enjoyed this book. I do tend to dislike how Gavin looses his power of stamina quite frequently but otherwise a good read.

It is magic
Gavin continues to improve. Another successful episode leads to more adventures. When one is not enough to handle the problem a team is needed.

While I still enjoy the series, I felt this book was weaker. I don't know if it's because I took a break before starting it. I felt there was a lot of repetition of phrases, thoughts, themes etc.
