Resumen del Editor

The demon's attack at the betrothal spreads fear and doubt throughout the nations of Ki'hal. But Gen's courage and sacrifice make him a legend and inspiration to the people. As the long, dangerous trip to Elde Luri Mora approaches, the Chalaine must battle her misgivings about the Ha'Ulrich and lean on her faithful Protector for the strength to do what she must to save the world.

As the journey across shards begins, her friendship with Gen deepens with every mile forward - but so does the danger. Intrigue and ruin threaten the caravan at every turn, but the most dangerous war of all is fought within the walls of the Chalaine's heart.

Why couldn't they all have been released at once?!

I'm completely entranced by this series so far. The character development and story is fantastic and still has me guessing how things will turn out. The only negative thing I can say on this series is that I wish I had discovered it later so I could binge listen to them all together instead of having to wait.

Interesting ideas. Exciting and well done.

There are four books in “The Trysmoon Saga” series. They are one long story. Be prepared to read them all. The four books in order are Ascension, Duty, Hunted, Sacrifice.

5 stars for Ascension. Exciting wonderful journey following Gen an orphan. The evil local magistrate bullies and harms Gen and others. Warlord Khairn comes to town killing many. Khairn forces Gen to learn to fight. There are magical creatures and healers in this world. It reminds me of Lord of the Rings with a little Harry Potter.

4 stars for books 2 and 3, Duty and Hunted. Still very good as they continue Gen’s story.

3 ½ stars - maybe 4 stars for the last book Sacrifice. There were sooo many battles and journeys. The main characters fight, flee and survive one obstacle, then an emergency happens and they are fighting something else. I was getting a little weary of battle after battle. But the overall story and how it ended was worthwhile. The evil god Mikkik was close to destroying all the good in the world. The epilogue was fun and very feel good.

AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR:
Simon Vance is excellent. And he does females well.

Narrative mode: 3rd person.
Genre: fantasy.

This is a truly amazing series.

This story is exceedingly well written with well developed characters and an extraordinary tale with many unexpected twists and turns. Brilliantly performed. Give yourself the treat of good listen, the first 10 minutes of book 1 are a little pale but it quickly picks up and becomes a most wonderful and epic tale.

EXCELLENT CONTINUATION OF THIS TALE

I am listening to these books during my time spent working in my yard. I have been so intently listening at times, that I paused in my work in order to fully focus. I was unaware that I was even doing this; until I noticed the "hands on hips" stance and slightly tilted head with a confusing look on the face of my three year daughter.
"Daddy, why you just stand there" she asked.
I said I was just thinking about what I needed to do next and she accepted this as a perfectly logical answer. It led me to thinking who else has noticed me just standing there in a dreamlike state? I thought of my neighbor seeing through his kitchen window and stating to himself, "yep, I always knew something was off with that guy."

GEN is a fantastic character that has tremendous honor. One could easily assume that he would have horrible internal struggles, because of the amount of external stress pressed on him. However, he is so driven to protect what he loves that he in blessed in that very love to rise above the evil that tries to control him.
The narrator for this book was very talented my only concern was the level of intensity he was able to project. Not by any fault of his, but by A mere interpretation. personally there were a couple of times that the intensity of the book or story outweighed the intensity of the narrator's voice.
This is a fantastic book and I recommend it to everyone.

LOVED IT

loved it this series is a must .I already bought all the books and had to have the audio books

very captivating

I really enjoyed the series. especially since I don't typically listen to these types of novels

I really don't like how this book ended

They really want us to hate the guy who is supposed to birth a god, and yeah I do hate him. The sad thing is people are this delusional, so it's totally believable that they'd put this fat slob in high regard despite knowing he's a piece of sh*t. Kind of reminds me of woke politics. On the outside they parade around as righteous do gooders who are just trying to make the world a better place, but everyone who's paying attention sees them for what they are. Then there are the delusional people, like the people in this book, that despite knowing the truth still believe something good will come out of accepting evil. Let's hope this guy gets what he deserves in the end.

Good Story, Little Lacking In Depth

Any additional comments?

The story of Gen continues, as he keeps his watch on the Chalaine, who is now traveling to her wedding with the Ha'Ulrich. I found the story interesting as well as the characters, but the overall depth of the story is thin sometimes. While much time is spent on the interactions of Gen and the seeming unending trail of women who fall in love with him, many of the scenes in the book come off shallow. The entourage traveling through an area unseen by man for hundreds of years is barely described, and even though there are encounters with strange evil hordes trying to kill the party, you barely get an idea of who or what these creatures look like.

Overall. I will continue with the story since the books are not overly long and I am interested in the outcome for the characters, but it seems a little more time spent on creating the world around these characters would have made this a much better book. The narration was top notch and makes the stories shortcomings bearable.

A little slow but still good

Worth listening to for sure it kept me interested for the drive from Washington to Florida, so finish the series it is with a listen at least once.

A Fantastic Sequel

The continuation of the Trysmoon Saga is just as thrilling and captivating as its predecessor! Brilliant writing and superb narration. Starting book 3 today!
