Publisher's Summary:

The first of a major Feist acquisition, returning to his best-loved series. Freedom at any price?

Hartraft's Marauders, a crack band of kingdom raiders, are a special unit designed to infiltrate and fight behind enemy lines. They are currently heading for a frontier garrison after a disastrous encounter with the Tsurani.

Meanwhile, a Tsurani patrol is sent to support an assault on the same garrison. Both sides arrive at the same time and discover the garrison has been overrun by a migrating horde of moredhel (dark elves), and they are forced by circumstances to band together and fight as one to survive.

The only problem is: Who do they hate the most - their mutual enemy or each other? As they make their way across the unknown Northlands to freedom, they have to struggle not only with the elements and their enemies but also their conscience. For what is more important - one's life or one's honour?

Easy read but one of my favorite books of its kind. Entertaining, well written and immersive.

Brilliant spin off from the Riftwar saga!

Where does Honoured Enemy rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Very highly.

What did you like best about this story?

The true and deep insights into the souls of humans.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The battle between Elf and Dark brother.... and the following... don't want to give the story away!

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

This book was enthralling, thought provoking, insightful and emotional.

Any additional comments?

A must if you enjoyed the Riftwar saga.

Fantastic

Everything you expect from Fiest. Blood, guts, action, and a twisting story line to boot.

Enjoyable read

A good story, not quite the same caliber as some of Raymond E Feist's other works but still a worth while read

Title: Murder in Lamut

Subtitle: Legends of the Riftwar, Book 2

Author: Raymond E. Feist, Joel Rosenberg

Narrator: Matt Bates

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-26-15

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

The second novel of a major Feist acquisition, returning to his best-loved series. Written with Joel Rosenberg.

The second Riftwar collaboration, Murder in LaMut, written by masters of fantasy Raymond E. Feist and Joel Rosenburg.

The heavy action was supposedly at Crydee these days, which meant that the one place they could be sure the three of them were not going was Crydee. Come spring, the privateer Melanie was due in Ylith, and its captain could be counted on for a swift conveyance away for sure, and likely not to murder them in their sleep. That would be bad for business.

But away where? That wasn't Durine's worry. Kethol would surely be able to find the three of them somebody who needed men who knew which part of the sword you used to cut with and which part you used to butter your bread, and Pirojil would be able to negotiate a price at least half again what the employer was ready to pay. All Durine would have to do was kill people.

That was fine with him. Durine, Kethol, and Pirojil are three mercenaries who have spent twenty years fighting other people's battles against the Tsurani and the Bugs and the goblins, and now it seems they've run out of Tsurani, Bugs and goblins to kill. The prospect of a few months of garrison duty offers a welcome respite; but then they are given an assignment that seems, on the surface, like cushy work - to protect a lady and her husband and deliver them safely to the city of Lamut. It should have all been so simple....

Raymond E. Feist is the author of the best-selling and critically acclaimed Riftwar Saga, the Serpentwar Saga, and the epic Krondor series.

Joel Rosenberg is best known for The Guardian of the Flame sequence. His other fantasy work includes the D'Shai novels and the Keeper of the Hidden Ways series.

Critic Reviews:

Good thriller

Loved it very exciting good story looking forward to next in series hope it's as good as this one

Terrible

The worst book out of all of the midkemian series. I also think the narrator has mixed up his midgets and dwarves

Title: The Wizard and the Warlord

Subtitle: The Wardstone Trilogy, Book 3

Author: M. R. Mathias

Narrator: Chris Dorman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-11-15

Publisher: Michael Robb Mathias Jr.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

The Wizard and the Warlord is the gripping conclusion to the epic trilogy that M. R. Mathias wrote in a Texas prison. This compelling volume brings the elves, dwarves, giants, and dragons into the story again as our heroes, led by High King Mikahl and the great wizard Hyden Hawk, who are forced to fight for the fate of the Kingdoms. This time they do so against the terrible creature that Gerard Skyler has become and the legions of demon-beasts at his command.

From M.R. Mathias, this is the conclusion to The Wardstone Trilogy. It has taken me several years and a lot of sleepless nights to complete this grand work. When I decided to become a writer, I gave it my all from the moment I put the inkpen to paper in prison to the new epic I am halfway through writing now. I hope you like listening to Wardstone as much as I enjoyed writing it and bringing it to fruition. You may see some of these characters and locals again, but the story of Claret and mighty Ironspike comes to its magnificent end here. Enjoy the journey. M.R.

Will be the next best series!

This is the first book of a new series, and as I was looking for a new series since Kim Harrison ended the Rachel Morgan series, which looks to be amazing. The story is well detailed, the beginning was a little slow; but by the middle of the book and introduction of Nick, I was totally hooked! I will definitely relisten to this book before the new one is released! If you like paranormal romance novels with fae, pixies, sprites and seers, you will enjoy this newcomer! I am not sure the description is a nice outline, but does not serve this book justice!

another great book!

I love all of C.T. Adams books. this was especially satisfying as she gracefully worked her way through explaining a whole different world! the story was tight and also satisfying! I can't wait to see what she comes up with in the next book of the series!

This is a fabulous listen, cannot wait for more

What did you love best about The Exile?

blending of real world with fay world.

Who was your favorite character and why?

cannot choose, they were all great

Have you listened to any of Marguerite Gavins other performances before? How does this one compare?

yes I have listened to the narrators before, loved that they could really get into the story

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

had all kinds of reactions to the story, bottom line cannot wait for more

Great Beginning to A New Series

I gave this book a chance because I love anything Marguerite Gavin reads. I love the way she brings characters to life. I listened to the book because it was an interesting story. The characters and world built by C. T. Adams is very interesting and engaging. I loved that Adams didn't fall into using sex as a plot device to move the story along or fill in a gap in the story line. This book is worth listening to and I can't wait for the next one.

Horrible Book

I honestly want hours of my life back trying to listen to this book. I was trying to stick with it but it so boring. Some whiny protagonist woman and the commentator makes it worse.

To Short the Storm

All excellent stories and the narrative was very good. I wouldnlike to soee lingrr version of a few stories only to counter act the price paid for such a short series of adventures.

double the lengths or decrease the price and then it woukd be a mych better experience.

The stories are all worth the ride on the storm of adventure but the length was only that of a squall.

Title: Confliction Compendium

Subtitle: The Dragoneer Saga, Cycle One

Author: M. R. Mathias

Narrator: Christine Padovan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-29-15

Publisher: Michael Robb Mathias Jr.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 69 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

The Confliction Compendium is an omnibus edition of the Full Confliction Cycle of Dragoneers novels.

These titles are also available separately and have many reviews on their individual pages.

Members Reviews:

Starts great; middle is repetitive; C & C is cool

What made the experience of listening to Confliction Compendium the most enjoyable?

That all of the first 4 Dragoneers Saga stories were in one purchase plus the bonus of the short, Crimzon and Clover at the end.

What did you like best about this story?

How the Dragoneers could magically 'bond' to their dragons, and the different types of villains the author came up with. Lots of intense action - the stories are never boring!

Did Christine Padovan do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, she is a fine actress and does well with character voices. I noted The Royal Dragoneers and Cold Hearted Son of a Witch were the original recordings from early 2013 and aren't as greatly narrated as The First Dragoneer (first story and recently narrated), The Confliction and Crimzon & Clover, the bonus short story at the end.

But she does make the stories entertaining with all the different characterizations of people and even the dragons.

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

There's some comedic moments throughout the stories (especially in The Royal Dragoneers) that make the stories worth listening to.

Entertaining fantasy romp!

Well developed characters and a good story are not as good when the narrator is tough to listen to. She has a strange cadence that makes it difficult to listen to.

"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."

great story bad narrator

great story it was very engaging for me. I could not get over the mono tone of the narrator.

Great series!

This collection of the first set of Dragoneer books is worth a credit or a buy! Definitely will be looking at this author's other writings as well. If you like non stop action, get this omnibus!

Wildly imaginative fantasy

From time to time, long fantasy intimidates me. I admit that I put this on my shelf for a while after I first got it because I was leery about dedicating 24 hours of listening to a single title. Well, I finally got over it and managed to listen to "The Confliction Compendium," and I must say I'm glad I did.

What I found, once I got into it, was a wildly imaginative fantasy realm filled with creatures both familiar and completely alien (forgive the pun; you'll get it when you read it). The Sarax were particularly interesting; I thoroughly enjoyed their development and origins as they were revealed at different points in the story. Even the familiar creatures aren't stereotypical; you have orcs, goblins, ogres, and trolls but not all of them are the bad guys this time 'round.

There is plenty of action to go around, too - maybe a little too much. My mind could wander in some of the longer action scenes because they got slightly redundant. Some of the character gets cut short trying to squeeze in all of the action, and that's saying something for a 24-hour book. Some things just seem to happen suddenly without being given enough time on the page to breathe.

No one could imagine that the future of the Twin Kingdoms rests in their hands. But it is a destiny that will change the lives of boy and dragon forever ...

Members Reviews:

Entertaining, albeit predictable

The book description promises more than what is ultimately provided. I will have to read the other two installments to get the complete story. The Sir Benfro series was probably submitted as one complete work of fiction, and the publisher likely chopped it into three books. Mind you, I am enjoying the story--it's easy going and the narration is good. I do need SOMETHING to listen to while I wait for the next books from Diana Gabaldon and George R.R. Martin! And, yes, I know the writings of Gabaldon and Martin are in a completely different class.

why haven't I heard of this author before?

I love Sanderson, Martin, manning, Brett, Goodkind and similar. I had a very pleasant surprise when I listened to this book. I often read blogs trying to find new good adult fantasy authors and am frequently disappointed. I expected to be disappointed here since the books are so cheap and I've never heard of this author. I never write reviews but I thought this author deserves more recognition for his work.... there are also very few reviews of his work. don't hesitate here if u like the authors mentioned above and like dragons, this book may be the best $11 u spend all year!

hard to

Narrator was great but really had a hard time with getting into the story for some reason.

Decent but too long as a series.

It's a pretty decent, entertaining story, but could have been condensed to 2, maybe 3 books. Initially I figured it would end in the third book but reaching the end I realized there was a fourth. It was getting rather drawn out already but I figured I might as well get to the end of the series now. Made it through 4, turns out it STILL didn't end there.

So overall, could have been good but was too drawn out and wasn't able to keep my attention. I'm returning the books.

fantastic

loved it fantastic narrating and story with little to be desired for a fan of dragons and fantasy.

Members Reviews:

Major Change

This was a major change for me from the last book, which was filled with dialogue and interactions between the main characters. In Ruled by Steel, there was a lot of action and less talking. This was a great book, but it left me feeling rather unsatisfied because although everything is set up for the next chapters in their lives, nothing really went forward in their relationships. And when I say them, I mean Elise and James. If anything, it was set up to where they'll really hate each other (or at least Elise). I personally preferred the last book to this one, but it was interesting enough.

Because it left me in a funk, I'm going to wait a while on the series before the others come out. I recommend this, but a lot has happened in other series, so I would highly recommend that you pick up Elise's first series before taking on this, unless you feel that you could keep up, in which case, by all means- buy!

wonderful joyride

(Spoilers) I really enjoyed this book. it was a wonderful joyride through hell. Elise was fantastically complex as the anti hero. And I highly enjoyed her torn feelings about James in this book. Even after his betrayal, she may still may be inch back to him? I really love how the author can really bring out emotions so well. She builds a great world and truly wonderful characters that you love and hate and cry for and can't wait to see what happens. This is not a happy joy joy book but it is so worth the journey I can not recommend it highly enough.

I LOVE SM REINE

Same review for multi books:

I LOVE SM REINE!!!!!

Check her website for the order of her books and how they interact with each other.

So, she has several series, but they all interact with each other in some way or another. LOVE THAT, because your sad you want to know more about this person or this event, GOT IT in another series!!!

Anyways, LOVE her, LOVE all her books I've read so far, I'm rereading the ones in better order since I'm finally able to purchase more books so I can finish story lines (was jobless for a bit :( killed me that i couldn't read more than a sample)

entertaining and easy on the brain

I'm not gonna lie; I enjoyed all the series I have read by this author. The books, however, were very elementary.

Publisher's Summary:

Hyam is a likeable lad who will make a fine farmer someday. But he carries a burden few can fathom. As his mother slips toward death, she implores him to return to Long Hall, where he spent five years as an apprentice. It was there that Hyam's extraordinary capacity for mastering languages came to light - and soon cast him into the shadows of suspicion. How could any human learn the forbidden tongues with such ease?

When Hyam dares to seek out the Mistress of the Sorceries, her revelation tears his world asunder. He has no choice but to set out on the foreboding path - which beckons him to either his destiny or his doom. An encounter with an enchanting stranger reminds him that he is part hero and part captive. As Hyam struggles to interpret the omens and symbols, he is swept up by a great current of possibilities - and dangers.

With lyrical prose that unveils a richly imaginative world, Thomas Locke takes listeners on a journey into the Realm. There he invites them to awaken their sense of wonder. This cracking adventure moves like a contemporary thriller but harkens back to the enduring genre of classic fantasy.

Members Reviews:

More about the world than the characters.

This book is actually well written and is actually a quick and easy read. The problem I had was the great lack of character development. The characters do have some good qualities, but everything is forced and usually unexplained. The romance story in the book is probably one of the worst I have read. It is kind of love at first sight, then too barely talking to one another, then suddenly married. There is very little in between these stages.

The world is full of life and well described. The struggle is real, but it seems that the hero has some of the most amazing gut instincts in the world. Again if I knew more about the character I might of understood more, but I think not. The main character walks in the a village of people that he barley knows to warn of war and ends up the emissary. Also much of the story is too instinctual for the main character. He always finds the power, skills, or words needed "all of a sudden" a few too many times.

Easily a favorite

This book has started my science fiction appreciation. And a possible addiction. Thomas Locke was already a favorite author of mine from his other works under the name Davis Bunn. Now i find i am greatly delighted with this new series of his, and eagerly await all coming books, as well as the possiblity of a future movie baised on this book as well.

easy listening, good narration, average story.

Little development or depth to main characters. The love interest is is unbelievable and unexplained. But narrator is good, making the story pass by at descent pace.
