Temple of the Oracle, the third instalment of Fate of Wizardoms, takes our heroes on a journey to the Kelmar. There, they aid the seers in divining which of all the foretold futures might be the correct one, as the seers themselves claim their vision into possible futures is obscured.
But that is far from all. The eight wizardoms fight for power between one another, and more dark monsters spawn, marking the beginning of what could be a most terrifying change – amongst the Gods themselves.
This book is not quite as action-packed as the first two, but it is in no way less entertaining. From cover to cover, this story held my attention in an iron grip, never letting up.
As with every great epic fantasy tale, things shift as the story progresses. Some characters steal the limelight perhaps more than others, but each and every one of them has a role to play, and are equally important to the story. They are all just as beautifully portrayed as in the previous books, and the changes they go through are fantastic to see, not in the least by Jace and how he softens, and Narine and how she becomes more relaxed and confident.
And there is romance! I’m not going to say there is a whole lot of romance, but more than enough to scratch that itch inside me.
TL;DR: This book, and the series thus far, has it all! From great world-building and fleshed-out characters, to a fantastic magic system (hats off!) and a highly entertaining story, this series has something to offer for everyone!
I cannot recommend it enough!
Jace, Narrine, Rhoa, Rawk, Algoron, Blythe, and company get drawn deeper into a web of magic and deceit. They are being led on a quest and it seems they have no say in the matter. Exciting read that I didn’t want to put down.
A power play for wizard lord in three wizardoms, creatures of legends surfacing and seers seeking for a clear picture of the future; what else can Jace and gang come to deal with. An excellent series.
The adventure continues in Temple of the Oracle (Book 3). Jeffrey L. Kohanek does great world building and creates wonderful characters. There’s Jerrel Landish (the thief), Narine (the princess and master wizardess), Adyn (Narine’s bodyguard), Rhoa (the acrobat), Rawk (the stone-shaper dwarf), Brogan (a retired soldier), and Blythe (the archer). I’m interested to find out more about Princess Priella. Is she going to be one of the good guys or a bad guy? What about our storyteller, Salvon the Great?
Usually the pacing is good, but I did find that things slowed down at Kelmar when our heroes are helping the sisters at the temple to understand the oracle. I listened to the audiobook. Travis Baldree does an excellent job narrating the voices of all the different characters. Whether you grab the audiobooks or read them yourself, this epic fantasy series has everything to keep your attention. I received an Audible code from the author. This is my honest and voluntary review.
The book was a wonderful piece in the world of wizardoms
This is book 3 of the series. I’m really enjoying this series. Book 3 is well written and developed. I enjoy the characters and the storyline. I’m looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend reading the series. (I received this book as an arc and am leaving a voluntary honest review)
This series is amazing so far, and this one just keeps it getting better. The group is contacted by someone and then they have to head to Kelmar. I am not sure its what they were expecting. They are attacked shortly before they plan to leave, and things get interesting. I can’t wait to read the next book and see what happens to the groups next.
Temple of the Oracle (Fate of Wizardoms, #3). my ninth read from author Jeffrey L. Kohanek. Picks up seamlessly from the end of Balance of Magic (Fate of Wizardoms #2). Well-written with intricately developed characters you can invest heavily in and the storyline with its intricate twists & surprises as the tension & suspense ratchets up throughout the book’s length. 9-hrs 26-minutes/290 pages but reads even longer with the attention to detail written into the story. Kohanek’s fantasy worlds have become one of my favorite fantasy reads. I was impressed and enjoyed the vocal variety & inflections of narrator Travis Baldree. I look forward to reading Objects of Power (Fate of Wizardoms #4) when I get it. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Received as an arc. Jace and friends continue on to find answers on what’s happening around their world. Friendships are growing as are the characters. A gripping tale with unexpected outcomes. Adventure, magic, battles, races you don’t want to meet. Great continuation.
