About this listen

Winter blankets the land, and more than just hope has died. Prevented from invading the Fhrey homeland by the tower of Avempartha, the western army seeks a way across the Nidwalden River before the fane obtains the secret of dragons. As time runs out for both humanity and the mystic Suri, the only chance for the living rests with the dead. Having made their fateful choice, can a handful of misfits do the impossible, or are they forever lost to an inescapable grave? Do gods truly exist? Is it possible to know the future? And what lies beyond the veil of death?

In the tradition of Virgil’s Aeneid, Dante’s Divine Comedy, and Milton’s Paradise Lost, the most epic of tales transcend the world of the living. It’s time to see what lies in Elan’s Age of Death.

From Michael J. Sullivan (New York Times, USA Today, and Washington Post best-selling author), comes the second to the last installment in the epic fantasy series, Legends of the First Empire. The series chronicles a pivotal point in Elan’s history when humans rise against the Fhrey who they once saw as gods. Set 3,000 years before the Riyria tales, Legends is a stand-alone fantasy series which is independent of all other Elan stories. That said, if you do listen to the other books, you’ll see lies revealed and the truth about historical figures unmasked.

Again Awesome

Tim Reynolds is a fantastic narrator. So glad I don’t have to wait to long for the next and final book. Already know I’ll miss them though. I listen to this book in two days. Well recommend this series.

Absolutely epic tale hurtling towards conclusion

When this series started, it created a new world and the characters started to come alive. This book however is the best in terms of detailing the foundation of the world. The best compliment is that it is reminding of Tolkein's world building for the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and the prequels. The author is slowly and steadily sketching a fine painting of the underworld as well. Brilliant narration and excellent pace

Penultimate book

My 5 star rating is because I love listening to MJS's books. The death zone journey hasn't quite sparked my imagination in the same way that the journey into the unknown in the second half of Heir of Novron did. It is, however, a more satisfying read than the previous book. I'm looking forward to the series resolution.

Racing tale well told

Very much an addict of MJS. Sometimes it does feel like disaster intrudes to add some spice to the tale but generally these stories are a confident confection and a delight to follow.

Such a good series can't wait for final book

Listened over three days. Love these books, look forward to the final book. So many lose ends. How's it going to end.

Fabulous fantasy frolic

I liked it all but stand outs for me are the skills of dwarfs, obscure observations of Malcolm, the contrasting concepts of the afterlife and the quality of the narration.

....

As it has been a lengthy time since I listened to Book 4, I was pleasantly surprised to find Book 5 picked up where Book 4 ended and I found it quite easy to get back into it.

That said, I can't say I was bowled over by this book as I found it slow, as though it was setting the scene for the final book. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant listen.
