Title: The Godson's Triumph

Subtitle: The Godkindred Saga, Book 2

Publisher's Summary:

Mistress Commander Angharad Godkin hates politics, so of course, her ruler the Godson sent her to replace the Governor of barely tamed Shraeven province. She hates religion, so naturally, the native gods began to plague her the moment she arrived. And since she hates both, the gods started playing politics - and the politicians began playing at godhood. In Flight of the Godkin Griffin, Angharad, a creaky old veteran of the Godkindred Kingdom's many wars of conquest, was dragged out of retirement only to discover her newest assignment-to rule a province in peace - might finally be the death of her.

She wasn't anticipating drawing the attention of her own monarch. And she certainly wasn't expecting to face off against him in a battle that will decide not just her own fate, and not just the fate of Shraeven Province... but of the world itself.

The Godson's Triumph returns us to the world of Angharad Godkin and her comrades and concludes their epic journey. But who will be left standing when the fires burn out?

A Thoughtful Conclusion

This book went in a direction I wasn't expecting - actually, it went in several directions I wasn't expecting. But I liked those directions.

I think.

The things I liked about the first book were still there. The uncomfortable things were there, too. In this installment it was mostly the baby-stuff that put my hackles up, but again, it's good to be challenged.

The pacing in this book was also unusual, but the more I think about it the less I can tell if it mattered. I certainly flew through this quickly (was it shorter? I think I read the whole thing in about 4 hours), but the major conflict of the book(s) was mostly resolved by the 60-70% mark, and the rest of the book dealt with the fallout. So...not a traditional structure, necessarily. Then again, I'm not sure I want all my books to follow the same trajectory.

There were an assortment of other things that seemed to get left by the wayside or appeared out of nowhere or didn't get enough development, or just bothered me. (I'm not listing them explicitly, because spoilers). And on the one hand, I feel I should mention them because they keep the book from being perfect. On the other hand, when is life ever "perfect"? Life is messy. So's the book.

Oh, who am I kidding? I loved it.

I love the way this book builds off of everything that ...

I love the way this book builds off of everything that has come before to take you somewhere absolutely unexpected that, nonetheless, makes complete sense. The main criticism I have is that when one character changes sides (in a way), the side they switch to instantly forgives and trusts them and seems to almost forget about all they've done, and worse, accept that character's jokes about it.

This is a really great author!

I have found that I really like everything I have read of this author's so far - enough that I an staying up into the wee hours of the morning to finish the books!

Love Macah's stuff.

This is a very well written book concluding the series that started wtih Flight of the Godkin Griffin.

It contains politics, religion, world creation and a good story.

Members Reviews:

Stunning Conclusion!

If you could sum up Harvest of Dreams in three words, what would they be?

Gods fight sometimes :-)

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sadie. She was courageous and selfless. To go from being an Olympic caliber swordswoman to a valiant warrior, by choice, to help people from another world, is incredibly brave.

Which scene was your favorite?

The tsunami when they were fighting the pirates.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Several scenes were poignant, though I didn't cry. The final battle, when the arch-priestess finally realizes she's being duped by her God, was intense.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy, and would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy. The book was very well written, and the narration was excellent.

Wonderful Epic Fantasy Series!

HARVEST OF DREAMS is Book 3 in the Gods' Dream Trilogy. I loved all three in the audio version with Noah Michael Levine as the narrator. Between Ms Holland's amazingly descriptive writing and Mr. Levine's talent, this entire series is a winner! Highly recommend!!

A magical adventure awaits in another world

Any additional comments?

This final installment takes everything from the first two books and brings it all crashing together and leaves you breathless. There is more love, more epic battles and even more depth into our villainess. It saddens me that this series has come to an end. I have never read such beautiful books that combine so many beliefs, worlds, and characters and does so seamlessly. You are never left confused because Debra does such a wonderfully clear job switching between worlds & characters. It has been such a grand adventure and the characters left such an impression on me. These stories have all been magical and filled with imagery so colorful and artistic that you can imagine these places clearly and wish you could become part of their world!

Incredible Adventure in Imaginative Worlds!

What did you love best about Harvest of Dreams?

Debra has created an original, magnificent fantasy world with lavender skies, two moons, gods, goddesses, romance, suspense, and both good and evil. In HARVEST OF DREAMS, we get to meet Sadie, our endearing heroine in this book, who had made a brief appearance in the preceding book, and are treated to seeing Thaddis/Theron, our hero, in a new light. We welcome back Princess Daria and Khan and Prince Indaran and Jasmine who all also figure prominently in this conclusive episode - it was so good to see them all together.

Now she has become part of an underground rebellion, rejecting the unjust rules of a Masked society.

But Mara has yet to discover just how horrifying her power can be.

Members Reviews:

Decent story

The story is decent, predictable but enjoyable. The narrator has a petulant tone to her voice that makes all the characters sound like they're whining, which is annoying.

Title: Masks

Author: E. C. Blake

Narrator: Elizabeth Morton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-30-14

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Masks, the first novel in a mesmerizing new fantasy series, draws listeners into a world in which cataclysmic events have left the Autarchy of Aygrima - the one land blessed with magical resources - cut off from its former trading partners across the waters, not knowing if any of those distant peoples still live. Yet under the rule of the Autarch, Aygrima survives. And thanks to the creation of the Masks and the vigilance of the Autarchs Watchers, no one can threaten the security of the empire. In Aygrima, magic is a Gift possessed from birth by a very small percentage of the population, with the Autarch himself the most powerful magic worker of all. Only the long-vanquished Lady of Pain and Fire had been able to challenge his rule.

good read!!!

Read all three books and they were very good. Held my attention and missed a lot of sleep because I couldn't put the book down!

ok for adolescents

The book was for adolescents. This is not a bad thing but unlike other books for that audience this book did not read well for a grown up. It was to simple in regards to characters, dialogue and plot. Also the magic is not developed enough in my opinion.

NOT FOR YOUNG ADULTS!!!

NOT FOR YOUNG ADULT READERS!!!!!

It's horrible that anyone would even think of recommending this as a young adult book, and yet the very first Editorial Review on Amazon for this book glowingly does just that.

Quote:

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 7â10âEncapsulating the best features of a good teen title, Masks is sure to resonate with readers.

âKathy Kirchoefer, Henderson County Public Library, NC

E. C. Blake's website is also proud to announce that the book Masks was nominated for two Saskatchewan Book Awards, one of them being in the category of Best Young Adult Literature. My main point in this review is to emphasize that this book should NOT be marketed to children. It is NOT suitable material for 13 - 16 year olds to read. Here's why...

The obsessive amount of sexual assault of under-aged girls within this book is highly disturbing. Along the lines of mental disorder disturbing.

Mara, the main character, lives in a "Big Brother' is watching type of world...where any treasonous thoughts will get a citizen killed... yet this rampant rape goes unchallenged and unpunished. How does that even make sense? Because it's not mainly the unMasked (the criminal scum, if you will) doing all this raping of 15 year old girls...it's the Masked Watchers (police force of Aygrima) doing this every single night.

Over and over and over is this rape thing repeated. Mara is threatened with it innumerable times and it is done to (or revealed that it HAS been done to) almost every female she meets. NONE of the male characters in the book face this threat, nor do the males seem to face much of any threat at all throughout this entire book. Even the males in the mine camp, who are also enslaved, seem to serve no other purpose character-wise other than to give the author even more males from whom to threaten mass rape.

I stopped reading the book. I got sick of the non-existent plot and unimaginative repetitive sexual fantasies of the author.

Fantasy - including every Fantasy Idea I have ever read

*A Copy of this Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review*

This a five star read for anyone into fantasy. The characters have, between them, just about every magical power you have ever read about. Accept this, then just enjoy as, having befriended a race of elves and agreed to use their powers to help they set about setting things to right in the land. Once they reach the fort they are faced with, from your point of view a different hideous creature in each section of it, some alive and some dead and having many with dozens of others to help them. Each gives our heroes a new challenge to overcome, but it will not surprise you to learn that they eventually manage it. It is the âhowâ that makes good reading. Note, this is only the first of a series.

***Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official**

None

it is one of the best books I have ever read! it is filled with adventure and I reccomend it for any who like fantasy and adventure.

Publisher's Summary:

The Dragon War, the epic fantasy trilogy beginning with A Legacy of Light, concludes with a tale of darkness, hope, and dragonfire.

Book Three: Memory of Fire

Darkness covers Requiem. The cruel Cadigus family, usurpers of the throne, rule with an iron fist. The Resistance, a band of desperate rebels, lies smashed and scattered. Hope fades. Some say it is utterly lost.

Bloodied, the Resistance hides in distant lands. Most of its fighters lie dead. One of its leaders, captured in battle, suffers torture in the dungeons of Cadigus. Old Requiem seems like nothing but a dying dream, a memory of fire and starlight.

Yet even in the darkest night, the embers of defiance glow. The last few resistors muster. Rising as dragons, lighting the sky with fire, they fly to their last stand - an attack on the capital itself.

Members Reviews:

Outstanding!

A wonderful series! very creative, Arenson paints a wonderfully vivid landscape. can't wait for more!

man it was good but could be better

I was cool with the book but what I didn't like is that they made ruin get with roper and Kay get with that old guy and then ruin just gave up his thorn for roper give me a break

Book Review

Decent ending to the trilogy, Terrible audio quality though, it kept skipping and repeating sections. I love Daniel Arenson's books, but this series is my least favourite of his.

Publisher's Summary:

Korendirs name was the stuff of legend...

Man of mystery...deadly mercenary...obsessed adventurer...

From a life of misery, chained as a galley slave under the whips of the marauding Mhurgai, Korendir contrived an escape against impossible odds, only to gamble his hard-won freedom against ever more deadly stakes - in a world endangered by elementals, shape-changers, demons and perilous wizardry. Even Haldeth, fellow captive at the oar and his only accepted friend, can not understand what drives Korendir to repeated risk. But the hazardous tasks serve a madmans hope, to build an unbreachable citadel.

Yet, can any fortress wall be enough to disarm the inner nightmares that ride the Master of Whitestorm with the cruelty of a death-wish?

A satisfying self-contained story

Originally posted at Fantasy Literature.

Janny Wurts The Master of Whitestorm is a stand-alone high fantasy that, like the authors other work, differentiates itself from other fantasies published in the late 20th century that feature a medieval-style setting. The book has recently been produced in audio format by Audible and is read by British actor Simon Prebble, a highly decorated audiobook narrator and someone whose name Im always happy to see in the credits. As expected, he does a wonderful job with The Master of Whitestorm and I recommend this audio version to anyone who wants to read or re-read this exciting and emotional story.

The story begins in the slave galley of a ship. Haldeth, whose wife and children were slaughtered by the Murghai, is now chained to the oar of one of their ships. As he slaves for his captors, he observes his benchmate, a man named Korendir who looks fierce but so far has never said a word he just stoically rows. All the other slaves (and the Murghai) think Korendir is stupid or mute, but it turns out that he has spent his time studying and planning and suddenly, after years of slavery, Korendir announces to Haldeth that he plans to escape their captors. Haldeth reluctantly decides to throw in his lot with the enigmatic man and thus starts a lifelong friendship in which Haldeth will watch Korendir accomplish many other seemingly impossible feats and quests, mostly by outsmarting his opponents.

On the surface, The Master of Whitestorm is an episodic adventure story with a hero who will remind you of Hercules or Odysseus. He fights monsters, saves princesses, breaks curses, resists sirens, builds an invincible castle on a cliff, and outfoxes an elemental spirit. All of these exploits are exciting and there are many delightfully unique elements such as a city where everyone is cursed to be happy. There are some memorable characters such as a dwarf couple who contribute a bit of humor that helps to offset the grimness of the main characters. There is also a sweet romance.

But the story is more than just a series of exploits and quests. More than anything its a character study of both Korendir and Haldeth. We follow both characters for many years and its slowly revealed that Korendir is not as aloof and stoic as he seems. We learn that his courageous deeds are actually motivated by fear. In contrast, Haldeth, who observes Korendirs reckless behavior, is also fearful. Both men struggle with the traumas of their past and their fears about an uncertain future.

For years, these two forces have fought in shadowy forests, forgotten ruins, and dark alleys. Now they fly to open war. The kingdom bleeds. The sky rains fire. The crows feast.

Rebellion

This was an excellent addition to this series. I do agree with another review that thought the book was too short but other than that I have no complaints, this edition really takes some unexpected turns with a couple of the main characters some of which I was happy about and others I wanted to reach into the book and start ringing necks. When I started this book it felt a little slow and I almost got concerned but then the story just took off and ended with a bang. If you are a fan of Daniel Arenson you will love this book. If you have never read his work then I suggest starting off with Blood of Requiem and get taken on a great ride. Enjoy.

An Okay Read

After reading Legacy of Light, I was eager to return to Requiem to follow the further adventures of the Resistance and the Empire. However unlike the previous book, I found myself really struggling to finish it. A Birthright of Blood just wasn't as engaging as the first book. I really felt like I was missing something, that the author had left out some critical information that would have made Birthright more fun to read. An example of this is the passing of time. I kept thinking the plot picks up right after Legacy, but only a year has passed. The people of Requiem apparently like to go by moon phases than alluding to weeks, months, etc. Since I'm not an astronomer or one who follows moon phases, I don't know how much months have passed since the events of Legacy. That was a bit frustrating. Also, I would have liked more detail into Tilla's training at the Academy. Another frustrating fact is the characters' love of talking to themselves, and having flashbacks at inopportune moments. Everyone is a bit moody and brooding, lost in their own past and painful memories. The only one who seemed to be having a blasted good time is Frey; the chapter from his point of view was the most engaging to read, because it showed a glimpse of how crazy he is, and was refreshing from all the broodiness of the other characters. While I do have the third book on my Kindle, I won't be starting it anytime soon. I need a break from all these brooding characters who talk to themselves.

A Memory Fire - Book 3 in this Trilogy

This entire trilogy has grabbed me and has shaken me like a dog shakes a toy -- I think Daniel pulled on every emotion I ever knew existed.

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 24 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

As this final volume of the Jewelfire Trilogy opens, all seems lost for the humans of Aventuria. The shape-changing Bhahdradomen have invaded their lands and usurped their Queen, aided by the Aelyr lord Falthorn. Queen Helananthe has been forced to stand down or see the deaths of her mother and brother. Tanthe, imprisoned with her company of friends in the Amber Citadel, must face great peril as they make desperate plans to escape. But even if they succeed, her sister Ysomir is still imprisoned at the mercy of the terrifying Bhahdradomen leader, Vaurgroth.

One by one all strands of hope are cut. Deserted by allies, betrayed by Falthorn's dark machinations, the Nine Realms appear doomed. Human, Aelyr and shape-shifter alike are haunted by visions of the final portent, the mysterious Obsidian Tower; a Bhahdradomen myth, a place that may or may not exist, and the heart of Tanthe's darkest fears.

Meanwhile, Rufryd - Tanthe's ex-lover - is presumed lost on the shape-changers' desolate isle of Vexor. Then stunning news comes from that direction...

In The Obsidian Tower, Freda Warrington proves again the strength of her vision, and concludes this trilogy - though not the story of Aventuria - with brilliance and a warmth of feeling for her characters.
