Publisher's Summary:

From USA Today best-selling author Michael James Ploof comes the epic debut of an exhilarating new fantasy adventure series.

Talon follows the early years of a unique boy, a 15-year-old runt living on the barbarian island of Volnoss. Born premature during the frozen plague that took his mother, shunned by his father, and raised by his grandmother, Talon has always felt like he doesn't belong.

For years he dreams of growing big and strong like the giants that surround him. But as the day of measure draws near, he begins to realize that he will never be named a Vald, and will be cast to the village of the Skomm to live a life of slavery.

Barely surviving the beating that follows his failure to meet the measure, Talon is banished to the village of misfits. There he finds friends in the most unlikely of places, and begins to hope he might find some happiness as a Skomm.

As Talon tries to settle into his life in the slave village he is challenged at every turn. The Vaka overseers have it in for him, as does the Chiefson of Timber Wolf Tribe. The Kelda Agaeti is drawing near, called by the Skomm the night of dying, when seven warriors from neighboring tribes win the right to go on a bloody rampage through the village.

After barely surviving a random attack by drunken Vald that left nearly a dozen dead, Talon and his friends decide that they must somehow escape the island. For Chiefson Fylkin has vowed to kill him first on the night of dying.

What follows is a fast-paced race against time, an underdog story wrought with action and adventure, rich with magic, culture, friendship and lore.

Set 200 years before the events of Whill of Agora, Talon reveals the origins of Dirk Blackthorn's spirit wolf, Chief. Fans of the Legends of Agora books will be introduced to unforgettable new characters, and revisit a few old friends.

love this book and narrator

the writing is clean, crisp and definitive. you know the person's character and build when he speaks. The Mr. Williams narrates many characters, male and female, of various places and stages of their life. He is wonderful. I could not stop listening and so I listened again 6 wks later and this is the review. The story begins without hope, just those who rise to the challenge. It continues with disillusionment even though a solution is found. This is often found with survival struggles when an unexpected presented is presented and yet fails miserably to satisfy. there were highs and lows of all descriptions and depths throughout the book yet still there was a continual upward travel to hope, survival and happiness. Love the book.

Good spinoff.

the story was good, just a bit of a rush ending. I think it could have been longer and more developed.

Teralia, thousands of years ago. A world of light and beauty, holding the core of magic that infuses the universe.

One will fall, ensnared by an ancient evil thought to be destroyed eons ago.

Orgins of Never

What did you like best about this story?

I loved this book. The characters give a new twist on good vs evil and I honestly feel myself rooting for the bad guy.

Prequel to the Neverwars

Elves, dragons, portals to other worlds, good versus evil. All the elements of a good read. This book is obviously the back story for a series but it does a good job of getting you interested in the series.

Brother vs brother, good vs evil. I have to go get the next book now.

I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review

Every good villain needs an Origin ...

What made the experience of listening to Origins of the Never the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed learning how the wicked Tenebrys from Rutherford's later novels became as evil as he did, how he transformed from friend to fiend.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Origins of the Never?

The first time Tenebrys intentionally killed.

Have you listened to any of Katie Welburns other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to Souls of the Never - they're books in a series, so they're very similar and equally good.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Evil isn't born ... it has its Origins.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, although I would recommend you read or listen to it before reading Souls of the Never. It clears up a lot of confusion if you read the series in order!

Olume & Tenybris Sitting in a Tree

So opens the prequel to the Tales of the Neverwar. Okay, not really what is sounds like, but I couldn't resist.

This prequel tells the origins of two Elves, brought up together to be as close as brothers. One believes in using his magic to engage and encourage others to help, while the other excels at forcing others to do his will. Now imagine a world with an infinite number of parallel universes, a new one being formed each time a different decision is made (the many worlds theory) and between these worlds lies the Never. Throw in dragons, dwelves, faer, brownies & other magical creatures. Put them together along with an ancient evil and you have this engaging story.

Katie Welburn's uses timing and rhythm well but the voices for the different characters are not as distinct, BUT.. she does a good job showing the different character personalities which tells the listener who is speaking.

This audiobook was provided at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast.

An amazing prequel!

It's hard to review this because it's only a novella but I will say that it's amazing!!!

In a world where magic and magical creatures are the norm and where the evil was vanquished centuries ago, 2 best friends live. The world they live in has no evil, no darkness.

Members Reviews:

Action Packed Young Adult Book in Brockmann Style

Would you consider the audio edition of Wild Sky to be better than the print version?

I think the Audible edition is excellent especially being read by one of the authors. Melanie Brockmann is an excellent narrator. She is never too dramatic which is the problem with too many narrators. I haven't read the print version of this book.

What other book might you compare Wild Sky to and why?

Wild Night is a great sequel to Night Sky which I listened to again before I listened to Wild Sky. Since there was such a long time between the publishing dates, reading the books together really demonstrates how well they support each other.

Have you listened to any of Melanie Brockmanns other performances before? How does this one compare?

She reads both of the Night Sky books excellently. I will have to check out any other books she may have narrated.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When one of the main characters was accidentally injected with the killer drug, I became very stressed. The anxiety continued to increase through the remainder of the book.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book to all people aged 14 - 75. I am 66 years old and like this series as much as I do Suzanne Brockmann's other books. I hope that she and Melanie are able to get further sequels written and published more quickly. I can't wait for the next book.

Title: Dystopia

Narrator: Robert Lee wilson

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Publisher: Janet McNulty

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Teens, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Publisher's Summary:

In the distant future the United States has been split into two regions separated by a barren wasteland; this is the country of Dystopia. Here the individual is discouraged, freedom is an illusion, food is rationed, and everything you do is tracked by a chip implanted in your arm. This is Dana Ginary's world.

At age 17, people receive their career assignments chosen for them by a government body. Forced to work at the Waste Management Plant because she was declared too individualistic, Dana finds herself surrounded by death and brutality. Knowing her days are numbered, she looks for a way to leave the plant before she, too, becomes one of its causalities.

It is then she meets a man named George and soon finds herself caught up in a cat and mouse game between the resistance and the Dystopian government. Dana finds herself faced with an agonizing choice of whom she will betray and whom she will save: her friend George, her parents, or herself.

Dystopia

There really is little to commend this effort. The narration is faltering with accentuated syllables you would expect of someone learning English as a second language. The plot - such as it is - is equally pitiful, lacking narrative arc, tension or subtlety of any kind. It is propaganda most blatant, wailing 'look what happens when you try to change things'. Because here's the sub text: the central character exists in an authoritarian state whose mission is, putatively, to visit misery on the majority in the cause of egalitarianism. Never mind that our current global reality is pretty much just as miserable for the many while the avarice of the elites ensure they continue to prosper at the expense of everyone else.

If you want to see how not to write a dystopian novel or how not to narrate a work of fiction or how a reactionary writer really ought to be a lot more subtle and nuanced about getting her deceitful message across, go ahead and purchase. Otherwise, save your money because if the world view of this author continues to dominate, you're gonna need it.

Critic Reviews:

"...will hit the mark with readers..." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

If you love strong female leads and mythology you will love this book!!

I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed listening to this book. I love a good YA Novel based on mythological stories, but was so delightfully surprised by the strong female leads in Keepers. There are some great books out there with solid stories, Percy Jackson is one of my favorite series, but Keepers of the Labyrinth was a breathe of fresh air in a world of sometimes stale mythology tales. Well done, E.E.Moulton, I'll be recommending this far and wide!

Not for the under-10 crowd

The book got a little scary and violent for my kids (age 8 and 11).

The narrator was great with the characters accents but my family found some of her regular narration to be distracting. They would laugh every time she said pocket, because she pronounced it pock-it' with the emphasis on the second part of the word. They stopped listening to it and I finished it alone.

Publisher's Summary:

"I spent my birthday fast asleep. In a coma to be exact."

When Savannah wakes up after two months in the hospital, she sees a whole lot more than expected - things that could put those close to her at risk.

The five Delcarta sisters have never believed in the paranormal, not like their woo-woo mother. Instead they believe in the power of sisterhood, of romance, and rebuilding their lives after their father's mysterious disappearance nine years earlier. Starting anew in the small town of Iris Harbor, they see potential in all.

But Savannah's awakening after having surgery on a life-threatening aneurysm brings a unique ability to the Delcarta sisters - each can predict the future with one of the five senses. And Savannah has the gift of sight.

A serial arsonist has been terrorizing the tight-knit community, and the Delcarta sisters have their suspicions of who could be to blame, including a boy who starts as an adversary to Savannah and then very quickly becomes her whole world. Investigating these crimes, trying to stop them before the next flame is sparked, will call upon Savannah to use her newfound abilities with the help of her sisters and will put each of their lives in danger.

This stunning new paranormal series blends the sweetest of romances with breathless suspense and introduces five young women who share a haunted past, an extraordinary gift, and an uncertain future.

See The Future

So, I picked up this book because I recently won the giveaway for the fifth book in this series, "Touch." I had assumed upon entering the giveaway that it was a stand-alone read, and now I have roughly four weeks to read books one-four before number five makes it in the mail. Wish me luck guys. This is a gal on a mission.

Also, I was a really excited and nervous to get into this book, since I never even bothered to read the summary beforehand (which I ALWAYS do before I read). I was surprised by every little thing that was given to me; pleasantly so. A first for me, but this book was well-worth it.

It took me only a chapter into the book to understand where the titles come from:

"I was the eyes, Serena the ears, Sasha the nose, Tamara the tongue, and Talia the hands. Bizarre!" Well said, Savvy. And very creative too.

Despite the fact that the girls each possessed the unnatural abilities of psychics, the troubles that they faced were still very real-life tragedies. This is always a pleasant surprise for me. I adore the paranormal, and I was given a taste of the with regards to afterlife elements in the book, though it didn't overshadow the reality of the story. Overall, I was very pleased.

What made this book all the more fascinating was, though each sibling was born with at least one other of the girl beside them, each of them possessed vastly differing personalities:

Savannah: She is the more clairvoyant of the group. She sees things no one else does and is very intuitive to those around her. She is a fighter, both on the field and in the operating room. She is a force to be recommend with.

Talia: She is the oldest of the bunch. She is the most responsible and knows how to take charge of any given situation. She has her act together and helps the girls to keep level heads about them.

Tamara: She is the chef of the group. She is much like her mother in caring for the girls' needs, both physical and emotional.
