This is a series that gets better by the book. Again there is lots of action. Great characters and the story keeps growing.

[Stuart Macmartin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book holds together well, and I enjoyed it more than the previous ones. I finally got the back story I’d been missing about the religions - I hadn’t read the previous series and it had been distracting me. It’s odd that everyone ignores significant prophesy, or that after so many years nobody had attacked a dragon in the obvious way, but both seemed to be designed to make our average thinker hero seem brilliant. And odd that they assumed they’d succeeded at something — no spoilers even though it was obvious to me what was going to happen. I was tempted to give 4 stars which to me reflects a much better read than my typical read, but these flaws held me back.

Book 5

Book 5 was a fun read and had a few errors. The bunch are looking for the remaining stones to guide them to the dragon skull. They encounter a high elf who's lost her mind and tries to stop them in continuing their journey. They meet with others to help them drive off the dragon near the tower. After a time of back and forth they continue their journey to the 3rd stone in the lands of the Tatami people in hopes of finding the skull and destroying it.

Amazing!

Jonathan is my favorite author! I love that our heros children are now grown up and keeping the darkness away. I feel vad for the high elf and hope once the dragon skull is destroyed she recovers and can heal.

Great Story Teller

I enjoy all Jon's S&S books. They always tell an enjoyable and advancing story. Having read them all however, there us little new and the stories are predictable yet hold my interest nonetheless.

Gareth is no Ridmark but...

I really am enjoying his quest. It's a must read for all who enjoy the adventures of the Arban family.

[Martin Ward · Rating 1 out of 5]

A bit of a snooze fest. Very predictable.

[Desislava · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gareth, Crake, Jerome, Philip, Dietmar and Telemachus travel north, meet new friends, foes and loves. Intriguing development of the story when they confront an ancient sorceress.

Another Great Installment

I love this series and characters. I love this world. A new generation of heroes but still the same feel.

[Donald E. Harwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just Amazing!

Amazing Amazing! What a wonderful great story! One of the best novels of all!
Everything from the caricatures to plot is just incredible.

[Neil · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series becomes more enjoyable with each book, as more of the world is revealed and we get to know the characters that little bit better.
The pace at best is middling as this book just progresses the plot along as the companions travel towards the second way stone, which could make it sound not all that appealing, but that is far from the truth. It is in fact a very enjoyable and engaging story that builds on everything that has gone before, adding even more depth and personality to the characters and expanding the world in which these events take place, which in this book includes introducing another group of humans who originated from a later time period and geographical location.
