The Eldemari's Wrath

The Menocht Loop, Book 3

By: Lorne Ryburn, caerulex

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

What if decemancy isn't enough?

Powerful forces threaten the stability of both the West and the entire world. The Eldemari's ambition, a descendant vanquisher: everyone is out for Ian's head. The odds are long, even with Euryphel's Regret and End affinities shifting the rhythm of war.

Ian must plumb the depths of a new area of magic, one he swore off years ago: the forbidden study of the soul—necromancy.

But first, he needs to find a teacher.

I'm constantly confused but I... like it?

Three books in and I still have no clue what's going on most of the time yet I can't stop

The payoff that book 2 developed is delivered here

You might have thought book 2 was slow on action, but that only because it was developing the characters and that payoff is here. Battles ensue, and abilities are push to their limits. Exactly what you're looking for.

Gets better and better

Great story. I love the magic mechanics and the ups and downs of the journey. It is such a good progression story that doesn’t get hung up on minute details. The number of characters don’t bog the story down and the character decisions make sense and are satisfying.
The only thing I can criticize are the dialogue and almost monotonous performance. I don’t mind monotonous, but a little more emotion wouldn’t hurt.

The literal first book I have ever cried about

I picked up the first book in the series whenever I was the right age of 12 put it down forgot about it. Then I scrolled through my audiobook library and randomly found the first book in the series ever since then I have been voraciously consuming this like I am a feral beast, this is the first I’ve had in years

The plot is incredible. I love it and hate it. The offer is a sadistic madman that I feel wants to make us do nothing but cry and a genius. I highly recommend this book, but be prepared to have a box of tissues, especially towards the end.

Five stars overall

I like it

I look forward to the next book in the series. The city combat was tough to follow with characters that I really don't care too much about. The story is strongest when focused around single/duos and not a battlefront.
