Summary

Threatened by an Elloryan invasion reinforced by the Ancients, the sanctuary Ember and Max sought in DormaSai after Kael’s burial is at its end. A civil war rages in Cethos, and the threat of Wildland tribal attacks in the Blood Kingoms is imminent. They can offer no help to their Southern neighbors, leaving DormaSai as all that stands in the Ancients’ way. When the peace conclave crumbles and the Ancients are forced from DormaSai by unexpected allies, Ember and Max turn their attention to preparing for the Ancients’ inevitable return.

One year after Kael’s death, the Ancients return for the Human Animus seal, and with them, comes the full might of Emperor Mero’s Elloryan military machine. On the dawn of war, startling information from the North reaches the DormaSai military camp as King Kohl’s spies return from Corynth. They bring tales of a DeathWizard restoring the rightful Bale heir to the Cesthosian throne and freeing Talohna’s only ArchWizard from the clutches of the DragonKin.

Ember, Max, and Yrlissa are convinced that only one DeathWizard would have cause to do either - Kael.

As war with Ellorya erupts, their hope that Kael is somehow back from the dead must be set aside. The war that all of Talohna has dreaded for so long is about to begin, and hope is a rare commodity during any war.

Contains mature content.

Too many plot elements added, but still excellent

I enjoyed the continuation of the story, but I felt book 3 dropped off a bit. There were so many new characters, plot elements, and twists in the story that it started to get somewhat muddled. This is a minor gripe, as I still really like the main group of characters and their story arc.

good but not as good...

tried to write this with no spoilers but may have failed!

I absolutely love this series however this one seemed to lack the detail of the previous which was disappointing and also left some characters without the charisma they had. Also so much anticipation had built towards a particular meeting ....I was sorely disappointed how it played out.

that said I still love the series and hope the next one gets back on track to be as good as the first ones.

the quiet in the tree like the series I like the twist and turns and also like the way they portray as just because you might have some knowledge or might be older or and smarter you can still be wrong I can't wait for the next book

Fallen Sepulchre

What a rush, very good performance by Simon, however I really love the characters the different worlds ghouls and demons, epic F D Franx has got this right. If you love fantasy and adventure this is your next read.

Cant wait for the next installment

The magic systems, culture creatures and world are very original. There are some links to current fantasy with races like eleven, Fay and dwarves but on the whole has a new and original feel

The devil is in the detail...

That is relevant to both the book and my review :)

Firstly, I highly recommend this series as both the author and narrator do a great job...

This series has a fairly complex story and there are disadvantages of listening to an audiobook. It is not easy to refer back to items in the story and it is easier to get similar names muddled up as seeing them written creates greater distinction. That aside, for me, the job a narrator does to bring a book literally 'to life' far outweighs the disadvantages.

I had a gap of a few months waiting for book 3 to be released and when I started listening to it I found I could not follow the story and was losing interest. I stopped listening to book 3 and listened to the last 3 hours of book 2 and returned to book 3. My understanding and enjoyment returned!!

I am eager for the next in the series and will make sure I review book 3 before I begin listening to it :)
