We face down the council, grow concerned about Alex’s fate, and get a surprise from Richard. I devoured this tale as threads came together and the action intensified. Alex is formidable, particularly when protecting his friends. His disgust for the greed of both dark and light mages fuels him.
Alex is running out of time and gets help from unexpected corners. This installment was fast-paced and intense. It was filled with magic, screen worthy battles and outmaneuvers. Jacka gives us quiet moments with Alex and his friends and rather intriguing conversations with enemies and allies alike. If you haven’t read the series, I fear you’d be lost even though Jacka provides recaps.
The ending was dramatic and teases of things to come in the last installment. Can Anne be saved? Will Alex survive to see it?
Gildart Jackson has narrated the series and has truly become the voice of these characters. With just a few words, I know exactly who is speaking and I love that. His range of voices and ability to evoke their emotions adds another level of enjoyment to the series. His voice for Alex and the subtle changes as Alex has grown are impressive.
Gads, the wait for the last audiobook will be painful. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
