I'm around 25% in now and greatly enjoying it so far. I love the detailed ruse plan and all that goes into it. Ard and Quarrah are at their first event right now, and I'm nervous for Quarrah staying in character. lol I'm slightly bored with the Isle Denevan (sp. will correct later) parts and hope to learn a bit more about what his plans with the Paladin Visitant grit are for. And the whole grit system is pretty cool.

I read it a couple years ago and enjoyed it. I am re-reading now on Audible and am at the same part.

Fun fact: The author got his bachelor's degree in music as a percussion performance major. He is known for the children's Janitors series but this is his first adult series.

Interesting! So the music parts in the book are his specialty. :)

I really want to know who the traitor is!

Yeah, I felt like I should've seen it coming, but I didn't.


Shawnie | 3309 comments Mod
No, I didn't either. lol


Danielle | 70 comments I read this book and it’s two sequels about a year ago now and I remember really loving the characters and how dragons are involved in the magic. It took me over a week to read the first 200 pages, and I can’t remember what happened but I read the rest in 24 hours. I think it took me a while to really love the characters, Ardor is a bit full of himself.

Such a fun, unique series overall

I had the same experience as you, Danielle. It took me over a week to read the first half of the book and then I flew through it. Agree, Ardor is definitely full of himself.

I have bought the sequels but figured I should do a re-read before continuing. And my copy was the very first one to get signed.

I just finished the Part 1 and am enjoying it so far, though so far it is mostly set up. Hopefully it will pick up for me like it did for you two!

About halfway it really picked up for me. I found the alternating POV chapters helped move my attention along.
