![]() Her path was a simple one, all she wanted to do was to collect stories and maybe even share them with others just like Will does, or just stay put and study. Remember in the last book Sini was rescued from slavery and taken to the Keeper's to finely start learning magic in a traditional manner. JA Andrews saved the best for last as Andrews presented Seige of Shadows Bk3. "Morning sunlight barely dribbled over the edge of the rift, leaving it a dim honey color." You'll want to grab the book to find out if he can find his sister. This is his action-driven story of the search for her. ![]() Will tells a tale of tragedy and loss, of how his home wasn't the sanctuary that his 11 year old mind thought it was, of the night he lost his innocence, when his father was murdered and his little sister was taken. Will was mentioned several times in the last book. In the second book Pursuit of Shadows, It's Will's turn to spin his story. He fell in with a group of adventurers, and discovered that they were seeking the same thing he was after, but unlike him they actually had a map. this is the story of Keeper Alric who shared his story and telling us of how he stumbled and momentarily lost his way as a Keeper. ![]() And when I found that this set was on sale and that Tim Gerard Reynolds was the narrator the debate was over. I've been personally debating with myself for sometime, wondering if I should get any of JA Andrews books. Tied together by the story's ARC, but told by three different Keepers. PS the audio bundle is freaking brilliant! I love these characters and the banter and friendships between them! So I wholeheartedly recommend this series. So you end up with an epic fantasy that is quite a rollercoaster of a story, but in the end leaves you feeling good and well entertained, even of it's not all roses and sunshine, and not everyone makes it to the end. There's death and sorrow in these books, but there's plenty of light and hope to balance it. So whole there is plenty of action and fighting, it's not at all a grimdark story. The focus is on how things like war affect the characters instead of the actual wounds. The best comparison on my eyes are the Riyria books by Michael J Sullivan, as Andrews also managed to wrote books that are definitely meant for an adult audience, and have high stakes, but doesn't need graphic gore or sex scenes to accomplish that. The style reminds me of classic fantasy, but with a fresh tone and voice to it, and not as predictable as a lot of teh older books are. This series starts of well and gets better by the book. A thoughtful, captivating and fascinating read! My congratulations to JA Andrews for a magnificent trilogy! It has been an overwhelming experience of hope, resilience, determination, faith in oneself to overcome the fears residing deep within. I couldn’t conciliate sleep after finishing the book! It left me with a warm feeling, albeit the loss and sacrifices. This is where everything comes to its final, spectacular conslusion. I found myself wanting to slow down, almost saddened by the impending end. Are the good guys really that good? Are the bad guys really that bad? Or is everyone really more alike than different, separated only by matters of degree, on the same scale of good versus bad. ![]() As the story comes to it’s conclusion, we find ourselves questioning our earlier judgements. This story is more like people in real life than typical fictional characters. It’s about how far you might push yourself, and how much of your own humanity you might have to sacrifice to save those you love. There’s a layer of complexity to the story line that not only keeps readers guessing, but lends to a closer examination of the emotional and spiritual stakes in life choices. Everything that lives glows with it.It is the source of all vitae, life.” “I am on the side of truth and right and goodness.”
