Great series opener! I loved the magic in the world, and the author does a great job keeping you engaged in the story, both during the action and during non action sequences.
Will is fun and interesting to walk through the story in his point of view, and the story flows really well.
Lots of action, adventure-a great fantasy read.
I can’t wait to pick up the next one!
Interesting Fantasy!
Overall I enjoyed reading this book. The story was well written and the author brought the characters to life. The story was full of action, magic, suspense, many twists and turns but no romance. I wish I’d read the prequels as some of the backstory was unclear. It does have a cliffhanger ending and I look forward to reading the next book. Enjoy!
I received an ARC copy and am happy to leave my honest review.
THIS IS ONE AWESOME READ!!!
Wow! If you’re looking for a fast paced, action packed, smooth flowing, kickass read that captures your attention from the start. Congratulations my friends you’ve found it. The characters and scenes were so realistic, they came to life before my eyes. I was fascinated watching the characters and their personalities transform and blend. Detailed description brought this read to staggering heights. If you’re looking for your next adrenaline rush, heart pounding, pulse racing, nailbiting read. Right again, its here. T makes it seem so effortless bringing everything together flawlessly. Excellent job T and thanks for sharing.
I’m not really sure how to describe this tale of magic, hatred, daring do, adventure, intrigue, gods and goddesses. Best way I know is to say that it’s a mix of Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and maybe some Lara Croft. It grabs you immediately with the death of one brother and the change in life of another. I am absolutely going to continue reading this series.
I received an free ARC and I decided to post this review to entice other to give it a chance. You won’t regret it.
I was really looking forward to reading this one, but the main character drove me nuts. I also wish that I had read the Soul Stones Origins books first. I think that would have given me a better view of the world with out the annoying Will. Maybe when I have the time I will go back and read the others then give this one another shot.
An epic adventure for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Sarah J. Maas, Lindsay Buroker, and JT Williams!
It is fast-paced, full of action, dark magic, shadows, and surprises! A helluva debut! T.L. Branson is a strong writer and a fantastic world builder! I love the concept of the stones and the magic they wield. His characters are well fleshed out and make you want to root for them (or against them because some are the kind you love to hate!) I particularly loved Drygo (whose character was amazingly well done in the prequels!) and a couple new characters: Will and Red. Will is learning to use his newfound abilities while Red is like a version of Celaena Sardothian from Maas’s Throne of Glass from the attitude to her skills.
There were some jaw dropping moments and heart pounding scenes that kept me up well into the night!
I’ve read all the short prequels leading up to this one . . . but this! This surpasses them all!!
If you like epic fantasy, this is a definite must-read!
