Title: Master of the Dead

Subtitle: Harbinger of Doom Saga, Volume 8

Author: Glenn G. Thater

Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle De Cuir

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-28-17

Publisher: Glenn G. Thater

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

Vampires. Zombies. Wendigo. There are a million books about them, and of similar paranormal, undead creatures. Sparkly cutesy ones. Vicious evil ones. Heroic ones. Impossible to kill ones. Slow and fast ones. Some books even purport to tell you of their origins. Well, they're all bunk and bother, as Ob would say. Nothing but humbug.

This eighth volume of the Harbinger of Doom saga is different. It reveals the truth about those creatures. About where they really came from. About the terrible threat they posed and may still pose today. And about the brave folk of days long past that stopped them from overrunning the world.

... all of these books so far and I really enjoyed the story and adventures

I read all of these books so far and I really enjoyed the story and adventures. Each book was too short. And each book that followed was too expensive but the story kept me hanging where I wanted to know more. But I doubt I would read anymore of your books because I cannot afford them

Worth the read

This is a Flash-back, happened before the Harbinger of Doom series begins, then near the end goes back to the present of the series and now you know more than you did before.

Worth the read.

Eventually better than the shambling dead

The storyline is consistent, full of surprises. Nice to read. All seems clearer after the secret in the past is revealed

Very short book

This almost was the last book in the series I was going to read if he didn't step up his game on writing. Some chapters are 6 pages, are you kidding me? Very short book. If 9 isn't better which so far repeated info that was in previous books may be my last. Not impressed with the last few books.

Five Stars

great entertainment

Title: Undergrad Elementalist: An Emma Dawes Story

Subtitle: Emma Dawes, Elementalist, Book 1

Author: T. Franklin Beck

Narrator: Britni Glasgow

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-15-17

Publisher: Tyler Beck

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

Emma Dawes is getting used to living on campus. She's getting to know her roommate, throwing parties, doing the things that most college freshmen do. She's also been invited into a secret club, where students learn to control and unleash their innate magical abilities. Learning about magic was great at first, but when people start dying, seemingly killed by magic users, Emma's peaceful college existence gets a whole lot more complicated... and deadly.

In this coming-of-age urban fantasy tale, a young woman named Emma Dawes learns that she has magical powers and is suddenly thrust into a world of excitement and danger as she is recruited into her new school's magic club. She is simultaneously discovering herself and the art of elementalism, and she quickly realizes that neither is less complex or difficult than the other.

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable read; looking forward to the follow-up

I definitely enjoyed the book. More "young adult" than I usually read. But it fits into the adult magic category that I enjoy similar to "The Magicians" on SyFy. Good character development â enough to get you interested in the main character but not overwhelming. And enough of the supporting characters to keep them integrated. Definitely one I'd recommend to others. Not exactly a young adult Harry Potter but definitely fits in that type.

A Captivating Story That Surprised Me

If I'm being honest, I didn't think this was going to be a book for me. It didn't seem like I was part of the target audience, even as I began reading. However, Beck has a wonderful ability to weave an intriguing story, develop interesting and believable characters, and keep you turning pages to find out what happens next. I got hooked into Emma's world and can't wait to find out what happens in the next book! This is a quick read; my recommendation for Beck is to write a longer story next time so we can selfishly savor it longer.

Book 1

This was a pretty quick read that captured my attention. This was a bit more "young adult" than I'm used to (32yo), but I enjoyed the character development, and am looking forward to the sequel. This was a great introduction to the characters and I'm looking forward to reading more about them.

A fun introduction

This was a fun introduction to a new magical world, and I'm interested to see where it will go. If you've enjoyed Dresden, you'll probably like it, though replace the noir detective with a freshman in college.

This book definitely sets you up for a series that ...

This book definitely sets you up for a series that is really interesting - I really want to know what's going to happen next to our characters. I only wish we had gotten as much description in the second half of the book as we got in the first half. There were some really descriptive sexy moments for Emma, but I had to use more imagination for the big conflict towards the end of the book - maybe since we're reading from Emma's point of view, she doesn't know everything that's happened yet either?

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Publisher's Summary:

3,000 years ago, a war began between the immortals and the mortals. It's a war that continues to this day....

Before history began, a legendary queen battled a foreign army, braved the death of her husband, and faced betrayal at the hand of someone she trusted. This is the story of Eire, Queen of the Faeries, the Immortal One, and the leader of the Tuatha de Danann.

To this day, her homeland, Ireland, bears her name, and this is the story of the war that drove the Immortal Ones into exile. It's also the tale of how she found help from an unexpected place, leading her to a love like she had never known before.

Fairytale Christmas is a story that spans thousands of years. It's also the beginning of all of our fairy tales and legends; it's where mortals and immortals survive because they love one another, proving that love is the greatest gift of all.

This is the first installment in the Saga of the Fair Folk, a journey that lasts until the end of time.

Members Reviews:

haunting

Have you listened to any of Sally Hanans other performances before? How does this one compare?

This narrator is great and perfect for this story. It creates a haunting, surreal effect that's needed in this particular one.

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

I love Merrie's books. This one didn't disappoint.

Ireland's Faery folk face battles

*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

We start with the banishing of the faery from Ireland by the Milesian. Then see through Eire's eyes and mind that the fair folk are dividing, and she's losing standing with her people. But, Eire will find another life years from now.

Sally has a slight accent that fits the tone and place of the story. It's not strong, but slight so to feel the story setting. The nice thing here is there are lyrics of songs for Eire to sing, and Sally does sing them. It's lovely to hear. I'm starting to think my iPod is acting up, but it sounds okay for other stories. At times it sounded as Sally was in a bucket and not near the microphone. Then the next chapter it's back to normal. There were a few small moments of mouth noise, closing or opening lips. There are moments that Sally sounded a different feel to her words than what felt to flow with words afterward or in the moment I would have thought would have fit. But these last two items were limited in listening. The lilt she uses to tell the story feels true to the characters and a lovely addition to the story.

This is a tale of the battle the faery folk have to fight, how it started. Not only do they have an enemy that comes to take their beloved land, but as they travel to exile their people start to divide between the queen who's lost her husband in battle and the man who's stepped up to control the army.

People, immortal and mortal, are not perfect but in terrible times what one experiences steers them to what they will do. Their actions then starts to drive who they are. We start to see this with the faery folk.

Eire is the Queen of Faery in Ireland, and who the story is focused on. When the faery are exiled and the betrayal of one of her own, it brings her to another life she'll live.

Title: The Hyborian Age

Author: Robert E Howard

Narrator: Felbrigg Napoleon Herriot

Format: Unabridged

Length: 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-17

Publisher: FNH Audio

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

Before writing the Conan stories, Robert E. Howard wrote an alternate history of the world that included the origins of the various races and countries that formed the background of his most famous heroic character. This history shows where the Cimmerians originated and the tribes they fought to establish their kingdom. How did the backward skin-wearing Picts overrun an empire? The answers are here. Fans of the Conan stories will enjoy this grand view of the history of the Hyborian Age.

Members Reviews:

(The Original) The Hyborian Age (The 'Conan' Stories) [Kindle Edition]

Please be aware that this book, (The Original) The Hyborian Age (The 'Conan' Stories) [Kindle Edition], is not the entire Conan series, but only that one, The Hyborian Age. If that's what you're looking for then this version is just fine, but if you're looking for the Conan stories then be aware that this is not them.

The Aryans are coming

I never read any Conan story, nor have I seen the classical film featuring Arnie as the indefatigable Cimmerian prince. I admit that I perused Robert Howard's âThe Hyborian Ageâ mostly for the fun of it. Howard was, of course, the author of the weird sword-and-sorcery tales featuring Conan and other barbarians. Howard's booklet explores and explains the fictional universe of the Conan stories in some detail. Some people (who seem to be politically situated somewhere to the right of ancient Nordheimir) take his pseudo-historical musings seriously, despite disclaimers to the contrary. And why not? âThe Hyborian Ageâ is fantasy, but it's a fantasy some people apparently *want* to be trueâ

Howard describes a cyclical history, where ancient civilizations and entire continents (such as Atlantis or Lemuria) rise, decline and disappear, often without a trace. Barbarism is very common, some of the barbarian races being almost organically incapable of attaining a higher degree of civilization (except in sword-making). A never-ending and frequently brutal war of all against all is the perennial predicament of man. It's not even clear whether all the tribal groups are âhumanâ in the strict sense. It seems humans can mate with pre-human creatures, ape-men can become men, while some men have devolved into apes. The various human sub-groups don't seem to have a common ancestry. The most pure-blooded and blond Nordics hail from the far north and are really a kind of giants. It also turns out that the Aryans and Celts of âourâ historical period are descendants of some of the warring, wandering peoples of the Hyborian age. So are the Huns, Mongols and Tartars. Egypt was once ruled by an Aryan dynasty, and even ancient Israel had Aryan admixture. Why are we not surprised?

Idealism clearly isn't an option. The Nemedian missionary Arus, a worshipper of the gentle Mitra (Arus is presumably based on Arius and Wulfila, and Mitra is really Christ) attempts to convert the barbaric Picts and their chief Gorm to the ways of peaceful civilization, but he only succeeds in making the barbarians more interested in acquiring new weapons to conquer and loot the powerful Hyborian kingdoms.

Publisher's Summary:

Magic. Intrigue. Romance.

Lilik's gutterborn resistance flattened their oppressors and freed the city, enabling a return to the island volcano, Ioene. But in the hours following Lilik's victory, a bid to rescue her family from Ulstat clutches led to her capture.

Now, cut off from her soul magic and held hostage by the Ulstats, Lilik plots to overturn the situation. She'll destroy House Ulstat from within, helping herself to the ships and soldiers she needs to retake Ioene. But other forces are in play.

In a hideout deep in an abandoned mine, a bandit queen lives amongst mounds of treasure, sharpening her daggers. In the mystical aether pervading the Ulstat's home island, spirits of the dead wage an epic battle to free Lilik's magic. And within House Ulstat, allies emerge from the shadows...if Lilik can figure out who to trust.

Members Reviews:

Great story!

Wow! Things sure took a slightly different turn in this book; the challenges were different again, just as they were between books 1 and 2. Lilik is still working hard to get back to Ioene and stop the cataclysm. So much happened in this book even though it was all compressed in a fairly short time period. Some parts are sad and some triumphant. Go Lilik!

A page turner.

I read 1 and 2 within a week, took a break to read the Silent Queen as soon as I became aware that it was a prequel to this series. I read it in a few hours, and immediately began reading Duskwoven within the same hour. I just finished it and realized, in dismay, that I am sitting in my cubicle at work and not fighting for the people I love. The book had me drawn in, I scared my coworkers when i started talking to the book.

Love this series!

I love this book series. It's a page turner and I am really into the characters. I love the action, the unique storyline and look forward to each new book. I have even pre-ordered. I'll be bummed when I finish them.

Just gets better and better!

Spirits, magical powers, evil Traders, insanity, undying love, and smugglers and sailors are bound together to stop a cataclysm and save the lives of family, friends and lovers. Can't wait for the final chapters.

Five Stars

Awesome book the story is good. You should give it a read.

Wonderful series by Lucy Fear!

Would have given it five stars but for the subpar editing. Misused words, missing words and mis-spelled words managed to throw me out of the story several times. The stories are good enough they deserve to be treated royally. Editing can make or break a story. Luckily, even with the glaring errors, this authorâs skill showed through.

Wonderful series

This was truly a remarkably written story, all the turn and twist keep my in a great suspense until the last chapter. Please think about expanding the series to include the lives of Jason and Kate as well as Lucy and Kieran. Thanks for the fabulous read!!!

Not a bad book set

Not a bad book set. I am glad when they are all in one set and easier to find

Five Stars

Great Series

Very much enjoyed reading this series.. Fast paced. Couldn't wait to get to the next book. The characters are very enjoyable, they grow with each book. Thanks to the author. SLA

Fun story

Performance: the performance and narration was really on point. The accent was well worth the listen and well done. As an audio professional I sometimes get bugged by little things on recordings and I didnt hear any of the inconsistencies in editing or production.

Story: I enjoyed the fact the story did not follow traditional fantasy of here is a magic item, you must be chosen, go win. I like when the hero of our story has to work a little harder and find their place in the world. I would recommend this as a fun book to listen to!

A welcome change

In a genre full of stories based in or inspired by English/Arthurian lore, having a book with with a foundation in Scottish lore and settings was a breath of fresh air. Instead of relying on a clever magic system, the story focuses on the characters, and becomes more of an engrossing adventure because of it. The magic is there, but you are eased into it perfectly as the story moves along. You really get invested emotionally into Kian and the gang, and i bought into it totally. I also enjoyed that, even though its 'book 1', you actually get an ending, instead of some cliffhanger to get you to buy the next in the series. And because the focus was instead on the characters, it makes me want to pick up book 2 (which i will). Very well written, and wonderfully performed, I will be recommending this one to my fellow fantasy readers. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

good story and great narration!

I enjoyed this fast paced and unique fantasy story! Well developed characters, great imagery and a bit of romance. The narration was perfect for this book and really brought these characters to life. This is the first book I've listened to by this author but can't wait to check out more!

**I voluntarily listened to this audio book in exchange for an honest review**

A Celtic Sword and Sorcery Tale

The Kingmaker's Sword hits the ground running and pulls you right in. Just to be prepared...the intro does start third person and then switches to first person. It's a tad bit jarring for a couple of seconds and then you settle easily into the story. Ann Marston is a talented writer, the flow of her writing and her descriptions are both lovely. The only minor quibble I have with her writing is that there are some wonderful moments that could have been shown/detailed (ex. meeting the clan). She also has a technique of jumping the reader into a scene, so you have this moment of 'what? how did we get here', and then she backtracks and fills in the backstory. I actually liked how she wrote those parts, once I realized that I hadn't just skipped part of the story. There were some interesting ideas in the book that I hadn't come across before like the technique of healing/walking through memories, and the 'you'll see me home then' ritual.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

"Was soll man von dir halten - ein Hexer, der jeden zweiten Tag ein einträgliches Angebot ausschlägt? Die Hirikka tötest du nicht, weil die am Aussterben sind, den Streitling nicht, weil er unschädlich ist, die Nächtin nicht, weil sie nett ist, den Drachen nicht, weil's der Kodex verbietet..."

Der Hexer Geralt von Riva verdient seinen Lebensunterhalt recht und schlecht mit dem Beseitigen von allerlei Ungeheuern. Nicht selten begegnen ihm die Leute, die ihn anheuern, mit tiefem Argwohn. Doch damit kann er leben. Obwohl es sein Ehrenkodex eigentlich verbietet, schließt er sich einer Gruppe von Drachenjägern an - denn die Zauberin Yennefer, seine verlorengeglaubte Geliebte, ist unter ihnen. Aber die Interessen der Jäger sind zu unterschiedlich: Es beginnt ein Kampf jeder gegen jeden. Und ganz allmählich wird eine Bedrohung der festgefügten Ordnung spürbar...

Great read

I was glad to find this at least in the German translation which is the only other language beside English I can read. Again, I would like to stress how disappointed I am by the English publishers that they have decided the book was not worth the effort because 'it is merely a collection of short stories'. Yes, it is a collection of short stories but they are - as much as the first book in the series - full of essential little bits that the following novels build up on.

I read it in just about a day because I couldn't put it down. Having already read the next two books in the series in English, I wanted to wanted to know more about Geralt and Ciri and Yennefer and Dandelion (though, admittedly, reading his name in German was a bit weird) and their adventures and fill in the gaps that omitting this book from the series had left.

Anyway, thank you to the people who made this translation happen. And thanks to the author for writing the book in the first place.

Gutes buch

:-) hab mir schon das nächste bestellt liest sich meiner meinung nach sehr gut, gibt ja noch einige buecher von dem autor
