The editor should be shot. Other than that it was good! It was pretty good, but seemed very unoriginal compared to Hunger Games
The bookhad promise, but I feel it feel short. A lot of questions were unanswered, more than I would like for books, even if I know there is another book in the series. It feels the book was very predictable and the "love" story seemed lacking in all aspects, but maybe I don't remember teenage lo...
Bestselling author of SAVED A MARCH OF KINGS takes us one step further on Thor's epic journey into manhood, as he begins to realize more about who he is, what his powers are, and as he embarks to become a warrior. After he escapes from the dungeon, Thor is horrified to learn of another assassinat...
Completely unimpressed. I had a promotion to get books 1-3 as a bundle so this review is for all three. I don't know where one began and one ended. Problem 1 - Morgan Rice is not a good writer. At one point, she's describing a character's since of purpose in a dream sequence and out of 6 sentence...
I'm not a big fantasy reader but I enjoyed this so much I intend reading the rest of the books. The heroine, Gwendolyn, is a strong woman (which I liked) and the story is interesting and not too far fetched. Thor (and yes he is half Druid) is also a well developed character and I can imagine quit...
This book I really can't decide what I think. I finished it which is something. I think my issue is certain scenes took way longer than they should. Most of the book was the car chase and then another chase. I found the arena idea interesting and then that seemed to last like a few minutes out of...
Truthfully, I didn't have many expectations for this book since the only reason I read it was it is a free e-book and I needed to read something on the plane. I was surprised that I ended up enjoying the book and actually wanted to read the next one. As long as you can overlook the semi-improbabl...
While this book was readable, I do take a few issues with it. 1) I have a hard time endorsing a hero or main character who has no perceivable flaws and really appears to just have everything handed to him on a silver platter. 2) this is a children's book, which does make some of it's faults excus...
This was the first book I ever finished. The Author really has a way of writing Fantasy that keeps you wanting to know more. I enjoy her characters and the plots they get themselves into. From magic to romance, mystery to suspense, this book really grabbed my attention. I know a lot of the review...
Two stars only because I finished it. Decided to give this series a second shot, but I won't be giving it a third. It's just so bad. The characters are so one-dimensional I found myself giving them my own back stories just to keep myself amused. I "predicted" everything that would happen, but...
Very creative and Fun, and exciting read! Book 2 is awesome! it pick up right where book 1 left off. There's lots of new twists and turns in the plot line. I love this series. This is by far the best sci/fi fantasy series since LOTR. The characters have so much nobility and chivalry. They set re...
The story remains the same.It's only been a month since I have finished this book, but I can't actually remember the main characters name. I believe it is Tor, but I could be wrong.The story continues with the young boys becoming young men, learning how to become Knights of the Silver, or somethi...
See my review of book 1 Short, awesome, cliff hanger. the book is a fantasy orgasm. that said it's still a wonderful read.
The more I read these, the more frustrated I get, that such a good concept is being driven into the ground. It doesn't appear that this author has a single thought of his own in these books. Star Wars, anyone? The predictability of these books borders on the absurd. If you've watched a movie ...
This is the 4th book in the Sorcerer's Ring series. It is about this boy named Thor his friends, the Princess Gwen, The king, the MClouds and the Empire. Thor just got home from the hundred and now has to go and stop the MClouds from destroying the MCgils villages, but what he does not know is t...
loved it the kindle edition is horribly edited and made it difficult to read.
let me say first off this was a good book to read, but the major flaw is that there is too much going on in this book. There are so many different storyline that it almost jumps around to accommodate one another. Thor still has the intelligence of a 8 year old and I am kind of getting tired of ...
This book was much better than the first too me, but that only says so much. Again, I really like the ideas behind this series, and I love the main character. She is great, but this book lacked some serious editing that makes me question how it made it to publication. Things that made me question...
This writer can tell a story. Far Fetched? Yes. Repeats certain phrases? Yes. Characters all pretty much speak the same? Yes. In serious need of an editor? Oh yes! But this story grabbed me and I stayed up late (really late) to finish them. The second one ends all nicey nicey but it says there w...
They survived once can they survive again. They escape the first arena and they have been going nonstop to get to Canada, but they are running out of fuel and food. Will they survive? Who will Brooke chose to be with? and Will all of of Brooke's and Bree's friends live? Find out in the 2nd book o...
They headed quickly down the hall, their footsteps echoing, one of his aides holding a torch out in front. They were heading deep into the corridor of command, a subterranean chamber which no vampire ever entered unless given permission. Kyle had never been down this deep before. But on this day,...
Aidan felt the thrill of riding into battle, felt for the first time that he was one of the men, truly a warrior. Here he was, riding up front, preparing to meet the enemy, to save his father. He had been successful in his mission; thanks to him, the men of Leptus were riding to rescue his father...
Dark clouds glowered, hung low in the air, low enough to nearly touch, completing the picture of gloom. It was the exact picture of the Underworld that Thor remembered, when he had been marching through the wasteland of the Empire. Yet Thor forced himself to remember, to know that he was not in t...
Her cheeks flushed; she did not like to be the center of attention. She loved her father for acknowledging her, though, and she felt a great sense of pride, especially for his putting the decision in her hands. Yet at the same time, she also felt a great responsibility. She knew that whatever cho...
She trembled as she worried if he were about to say goodbye. But then something caught his eye, and his line of vision suddenly shifted. He looked at her neckline, and seemed transfixed. He reached out, and she felt his fingers brush her throat. She felt metal. Her necklace. She had forgotten she...
Standing up high, atop the wall, are several slaverunners, wearing their black face masks, holding machine guns. They aim them down towards us. “DRIVE!” Ben screams, frantic. I’m already stepping on the gas, tearing out of there, as the first gunsho...
Long shadows were cast across the stone walls and paths, the only illumination coming from the sporadic torchlight, and Alistair, freshly escaped, could not help but feel like a criminal. His mother finally led her behind a wall and crouched down low, out of sight of the guards, and Alistair squa...
He struggled to catch his breath, sweat pouring down his neck. They had not stopped running since they’d escaped from prison, aiming for the gates at the far end of the city, and finally getting close. He was amazed he hadn’t collapsed yet, especially after the harrowing night he’d had, and amaze...
His one good eye was encased with dust and dirt, and he opened it just a bit, the world but a sliver, and as he lay there, face-first in the desert rock, he desperately tried to remember where he was, what had happened. His limbs ached more than he thought possible, his body weighed a million ton...
He had felt his castle shaking all around him, rousing him from his sleep, had felt a great disruption in the force, had felt instantly that someone had intruded in his sacred space. It was impossible. No one had ever before approached his castle—much less broken inside it. Not in a thousand mill...
Disoriented, she was looking at her living room, sideways; she realized she had fallen asleep on the chair. The room was dim, and from the muted light coming through the drapes, she realized day was just beginning to break. The sound of pouring rain slammed against the glass. Caitlin heard whinin...
He emptied it, setting down his fourth mug of foaming red ale, and it went right to his head. He was feeling overwhelmed by the colors of this place: everything in this city was red, from the bartender’s red outfit, to the tables and chairs—even his ale. It was starting to make him dizzy. Either ...
Bleary-eyed, she had been watching him all night, while he held his dagger to her sister’s throat. She had been waiting for her chance. She knew that at some point he would give into weakness and doze off. She, though, would not. Sarka adored her sister more than anything, and it sickened her to ...
He knew he should be happy by what he saw—after all, there, before him, was what he had craved to see: all his warriors here in Andros, feasting, reveling in their victory. There were Kavos’s men and Seavig’s men, all of them together, taking the very seats the Pandesians had had, feasting on the...
He was immediately relieved to be dry as the doors slammed behind him, wiping water from his hair and face, and he looked up to see Srog hurrying over to give him a hug.Reece embraced him back. He had always had a warm spot for this great warrior and leader, this man who had led Silesia so well, ...
That priest had been a tough one—it had taken more severe torture than Kyle had imagined to get the answers out of him, to find out where Caitlin had gone. But in the end, right before he killed him, Kyle prevailed. He smiled at the thought of it. Kyle dove for the back streets of Venice. It was ...
He could not understand why she had left so abruptly, or what he had done wrong. He thought the night before had gone so wel , and she had seemed so happy to be there. Why her sudden change of mind? He racked his brain, trying to think what it might be. Maybe she blames me...
This trainer for the Empire, this man who had intervened and saved his life, stood there now, in his simple brown robe, with his simple staff, and Darius did not know what to make of him. Deklan, he had introduced himself as. On the one hand, he had saved his life, and for that, Darius felt etern...
They tore at her left and right, and the pain was unbearable, as the field closed in. But some part of her told her that she had to keep running, that it was her only way out. On the horizon sat a huge, blood-red sun, and she could see her father’s silhouette outlined against it. She ran and ran,...
It sounded hollow, too loud on the thick oak, and it was odd to think of herself standing here, in a drafty stone corridor, and knocking on her husband’s door to be let in. She stood there, waiting in the silence, her heart pounding. So stupid of her, she realized, not to do this sooner. She only...
Thanks to Scarlet’s idiot of an uncle, she was within a hair’s breadth of ending her nemesis’s life. As she flew, she could feel the stake in her back pocket, urging her to kill again, reminding her of just how powerful and addictive that sensation was. As Vivian flew she wondered whether Blake w...
They held before them their crude weapons and looked back and forth from their dead leader to Merk, now all seeming less certain of themselves. As flames burned all around him, black smoke stinging his eyes in waves, Merk remained calm, preparing for the confrontation to come. “Drop your weapons ...
Thor stopped short, as did all the others, in awe at the sight before them. This cavern was lit by massive fires, bubbling lava pits interspersed throughout, and was perhaps a hundred yards in diameter. In its center sat one singular object: an immense black throne made of sparkling granite, one ...
The dream had felt so real, it had felt as if he had truly experienced it. He felt with certainly that Guwayne lay just up ahead, that he needed him urgently. Thor stood at the edge peered into the mist, anxious for it to lift, to reveal the location his son; he watched the currents, and willed t...
