Cliffhanger

Well I'm still not convinced Edmond and Jael are a true love match. I mean who picks a fat drunk spoiled royal project over a childhood friend and loyal companion? Unless you are after the power of being a Queen? Seriously I am rooting for Alexander. Lives hang in the balance and I'm on to the next book!

Enjoyable

Im on this ride until the end but this drags on quite a bit. The pace is slow. I would have preferred the ending to occur closer to the middle. Narrator is still lovely bringing these rich characters to life.

Decent Story

I enjoyed the series and the performance up to this point, but there are two things that really bothered me, 1) how much rape happens in this series. it's awful. I do understand that any book needs antagonists and protagonists but i don't think it's completely necessary to show how bad a character is by making them rapists, there's plenty of other ways to express the depth of cruelty in a character, I typically enjoy fantasies because of the lack of realism. 2) I can't believe how long and drawn out the series is, i feel as though this could have been edited and shortened into 3, maybe 4 books. it's a bit ridiculous. all that being said, I do like the series. The characters are great, and the storyline has been good enough to keep me reading/listening up to (hopefully) the end of the series.

A real “page turner.” The series has kept my attention, so far. Lots of action

Action and Magic

Nonstop action and great character development, Not only are there heroes and villains but the needs of the story keep people evolving. Very well written!
