Now events are rushing towards a last stand, where Tavi and the last Aleran legions must formulate a dangerous new strategy, together. For a civilisation is on the brink of extinction.

Outcome inevitable, but route interesting

6 books later, I feel somewhat exhausted - it's like one enormous battle scene from start to finish.

Absolutely epic final battle. Although the outcome is somewhat inevitable, the wins and losses along the way were anything but predictable. It's a satisfying ending (perhaps too satisfying after such epic battles? but then, that's why we have water-crafting), with only a few threads that might have been more tidily handled (personal preference thing).

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It's good, traditional epic fantasy: sword swinging; a sort of magic; goodies and baddies - and heroes to save the day (and the baddies even wear black!). I grew very fond of the characters, and was sad to say goodbye to this tale.

This is not a series you can join half-way through - you do really need to start at the beginning to fully understand all the characters. However, unlike my approach where I listened to all 6 books almost back to back, perhaps take a breather between instalments - might keep it feeling a little bit fresher. I've had to give this series 5 stars based on my compulsive need to download book after book - that surely says something about it.

Re narration: Kate Reading is not one of my favourite narrators, but she does an admirable job here, giving all the characters distinct voices - and she's consistent across the series, which must have been a challenge.

Five star story and reading

Sometimes an epic story like this one loses pace or focus in the mid sections. This is a pleasant exception.

Lose a star for stupod Toot-toot-a-toot fanfares destroying the drama, excitement and flow of the story.

good,

enjoyable nice not to think about the ending of the story, epilogue was expected not disappointed

Could Have Been Perfect, But...

I loved this series when I read the printed version, but the audio version was spoiled for me by a lacklustre performance by Kate Reading. I will admit that I'm not really a fan of Ms Reading as a narrator, but I really wanted to listen to this series. With her plummy English accent she mispronounced the name of the main character, and several others, and each time she did it was like being jabbed with a pin. Very annoying. The name TAVI was pronounced TARVI, and the CANIM became CARNIM. That being said, the fantastic story carried the day, and I will be keeping this wonderful series despite the less than wonderful narrator. In my humble opinion, this series should have been read by a male narrator, someone like Rupert Degas, or Andrew Wincott, if an English accent was so desired.

The Beladors finally have a fierce leader in Daegan, their new dragon king, but life is far from secure now that they've inherited his enemies.

The team soon discovers someone is trying to turn the entire VIPER preternatural coalition against the Beladors, but who? Or is this all about setting an elaborate trap for Daegan, whose very presence threatens the powerful beings in charge? With a deadline looming for Quinn to hand Kizira's body over to the one person he's risked his life to keep it from, he discovers more than one deadly being is vying for it and they want a war. Freedom is never free, not when the powerful gods and goddesses poised to decide Quinn's fate are also willing to join forces to destroy a threat to their existence - the last dragon-shifter.

Belabor Perfection!!!

Dianna Love does it again! I am so in love and invested in this series and characters!

Stephen Thorne ROCKS the narration!

Fun read!

The ending was very predictable, but other than that this was one of my favorite books in the series. Dagon rocks!

Great new story brewing in at Atlanta

happy to see how the story is progressing.... i don't wanna ruin it in the reviews so I'll just say, the story line does not disappoint.

Beladors Book Eight

Beladors Book Eight

After booting Macha off of Treoir Island, Daegan Treoir takes control of all Beladors. Even Tristan is willing to follow this new leader. However, he may not be as powerful in the human world as on the island. In the human world, Quinn is trying to find Kizira's body along with every other faction of the supernatural races. When the Beladors run into an unknown woman fighting demons, Evalle takes her home to keep an eye on her until they can determine if Reese can be trusted. Reese is on her own mission to find Kizira, but Quinn's treatment of her is making her rethink her mission.

If you're looking for an action packed follow-up to Rogue Belador, this is going to hit the spot! Beware bombshells, though.

So good

I love this series! I can't wait for the next one. Dianna Love is an amazing author that guides the readers through the labyrinth of characherts and their secrets.

Good but a terrible narrator

I really liked the story etc. I really hope in future they get a different narrator as he made the characters child like and really pathetic. The previous narrator did a much better job.

Get ready for some odd politics with no background

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy this book, but after the first one, this was so politically heavy with a lot of random terms and political theory I was not ready for. It does set up the third book very well.

good story

narrator was great, story was slow but i needed to know how it ended!! i def got the 3rd book

loved this series from way back

one of the few I still own hard copy. Hoping the next audiobook comes soon.

Title: Fireborn

Subtitle: Seraphim, Book 2

Author: David Dalglish

Narrator: Joe Knezevich

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-22-16

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 152 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

The next audiobook in the Seraphim series, following Skyborn, from USA Today best-selling author David Dalglish.

Bree and Kael Skyborn have seen their island invaded, their Seraphim disbanded, and their royal family imprisoned.

A rebellion grows from the ashes, demanding Bree to be their Phoenix, their symbol against Center's tyranny, and for Kael to find the doomsday prophet Johan and sway his cult to their side.

Should they fail, the hope of their rebellion fails with them.

Critic Reviews:

"In this exciting middle installment of the Seraphim trilogy...[Daglish] reveals additional layers of complexity and wonder, as well as increasingly high stakes. There is a heavy focus on action-packed aerial combat, and chaos and conflict escalate with every page, but this fantastical futuristic epic doesn't skimp on plot development and character moments." (Publishers Weekly)

"Dalglish's writing hits close to home, creating a world of uncertain political climate with dishonest characters and fantastical scenes of warfare. Fans of Skyborn aren't going to want to miss this strong follow-up." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

New Reader...Thank Goodness!

Yea, now this series has a much improved Reader! What a difference it makes. This story was so much more engaging than book 1 probably all due to the performance. The reason I gave the story a 3 and not a 4(it's really hard to ever get a 5 from me) is because of the overly detailed "shot by shot" repetitious wordiness of some of the battles. Once you're already into this series, we don't need to hear each and every icicle particulate goes! But a fantastic story all in all. And again, great Reader performance. Much improved!

Loved it

Great story can't wait for the next book. The reader is awesome always in character.

Better than the first book

I enjoyed reading this one more than the first. It covered more of the history and how the magic can be used in combat.

Master of surprises

Dalglish, darn you and your surprise endings! I did not see ANY of that coming! Great series :)

another awesome book!

another awesome book by David dalglish! can't wait for the next one! when when when?

I love this series. I'm so glad I gave this series a shot, the more I listen the better it gets. It is hilarious and there is always plenty of action. Sam now has to deal with all the elves coming from hell. Her house is getting full. Debra Dunbar has created a unique world in the time when urban fantasy has been done before. I always love Boomer and Diablo, now there is a cute baby dragon. I hope there will be many more books out in the Imp series they are an automatic download for me. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to notice this one was on audible before I did. The narrator also grows on you, at first I thought she was too slow, but I like her now.

great story

I think my only complaint would be make up your mind what you are going to call the lead character. sometimes it's war smith sometimes it's adept, sometimes it's journey man mage. it can get a little confusing.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 74 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

In this extraordinary third and final work in the Second DemonWars Saga, R. A. Salvatore weaves a diverse tapestry of characters and events from all the novels of the DemonWars Saga into an epic, unforgettable conclusion. Casting his inimitable spell of the human and supernatural, love and war, faith and faithlessness, Salvatore's crowning work is centered on a dark young king driven by a quest to remake humankind.

In Honce-the-Bear, King Aydrian Boudabras wakes in a cold sweat, his conscience haunted by those he has killed to garner power, including the rightful king before him, Danube, his mother's husband. Now Aydrian is preparing his armies for war, forging loyalties, playing one adversary against the other, and giving those around him barely a glimpse of his remarkable powers. Even Aydrian does not fully understand what drives his ambition, the guiding voices he first heard from the shadow of Oracle, or the truth of his birth in the elven land - before it was stained and mortally threatened by the demon dactyl.

Yet in the neighboring Behren, the evil Yatol Bardoh is unleashing a war engine of his own, using armies of mercenaries and horrific tactics to bring down the walls of Jacintha and to drive a ferocious dragon from the city of Dharyan.

Between these two men, an explosive chain of events has been set into motion. Refugees flood the roads and valleys, alliances are formed and broken, navies clash at sea, and assassins seek their moment to strike. With Aydrian's power and popularity turning into an avalanche and the courageous Brynn Dharielle valiantly standing in the way of the Yatol Bardoh, the great players in the DemonWars Saga will unite and clash on a single magnificent stage. But as the lands run with blood, there are no adversaries like a mother and her long-lost son. For Jilseponie, once queen of Honce-the-Bear, has discovered the truth of her son Aydrian's birth. And now she becomes the only mortal on earth with magic enough to stop her own son - by any means necessary - from his cataclysmic quest....

Members Reviews:

everything is coming to a head

Ever since I randomly bought a Brent Weeks book for something to read I have never been disappointed and the Blood Mirror is another example. So many threads being woven together in this the fourth book of the series but still leaving the story lines open and leaving me itching at the end of the book for the next volume in the story. The Characters have gone through massive changes over the books in attitudes and confidence. This you would expect from Kipp but the other character don't disappoint in that respect either. Some stars rising, others falling.

The Narration is good, the story developments show an overall story line linking everything together, the characters can be engaging and make you cheer for the 'Mighty' when they have a win and worry for them when the plots or fate are against them.

I don't know about you but I quickly devoured this book when it came out and have been waiting eagerly for the next volume!

"OUTSTANDING"

I devoured these 4 books in a little over 2 weeks. I could not put it down ( turn it of ). I will now feel empty until Brent Weeks gets back to work. just loved it

Half a book

I loved the earlier books, and I love this one. However, it feels like he had to split the book (which is the case), and the end result suffered. I'm super excited for the next one though, hopefully this one got a lot of setup out of the way.

Superb both in story and speech

I enjoy fantasy incredibly and have read it since I was 12. Over the years I have read many and started audiobooks around 10 years ago while on the move. 32 now and this book is amazing, the story is set by great characters who live, fight, joke, love, have sex, stumble and have no clue what to do and experience grief.

It feels like real people in a fictional world. Upwards of that the audible version is just grand. The performance is solid and carries emotion and various characters perfectly.

Highly recommended!

Captivating

14 words are not enough for this, author and narrator are amazing. Orholm's b... beard.
