About this listen

The White Tree (Book 1): In Mallon, the dark magic of the nether has been banned for centuries. Its users have been driven out or killed. Its secrets lost.

But the holy book of the nethermancers has just been found by a boy named Dante.

As he works to unlock the book's power, he's attacked in the street. The nethermancers aren't gone—and they want their book back. Caught between death cultists and the law, Dante fights for his life, aided by his growing skills and a brash bodyguard named Blays. Together, they're drawn into a centuries-old conflict that brings Mallon to the brink of civil war.

Surviving won't be easy. But if they make it out alive, they'll step down the path to becoming two of the greatest warriors the world has ever known.

The Great Rift (Book 2): Dante and Blays have averted war against their new home of Narashtovik. But they didn't do so alone. It's time to repay their debts.

The norren who helped them remain enslaved by the Gaskan Empire. While arming the norren clans for rebellion, Dante hears one of them is in possession of the legendary Quivering Bow. If he can track down the weapon, it could secure norren independence.

But the wheels of war have already begun to turn. As Gask moves to crush the rebellion, Dante and Blays find themselves at the head of a campaign for survival—for norren and Narashtovik alike.

The Black Star (Book 3): Narashtovik has been saved—but Dante and Blays' friendship has been destroyed.

Blaming the Gaskan king for the loss of his love, Lira, Blays infiltrates the enemy nobility. There, he schemes to bankrupt Gask and drive its ruler from the throne. But Dante's been waiting for Blays' return. If he finds and exposes him, Blays will be executed as a spy.

As they squabble, strange lights shine in the east. Harbingers of a long-forgotten threat. If the signs go ignored, Narashtovik will be annihilated by an enemy it never knew it had.

This good is amazing.
The world that it's set in sounds like it could become a very familiar place indeed.
One of the main reasons I loved this is that the people in it talk to each other just like me and my friends would in the real world couldn't get euff of it was sad to get to the end of the books toughly in joyed every moment if I can find more like it then I will

Thank you for the laughs and the tears

Amazing laughs and thought provoking

A bit slow and not a patch on Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy but you do get a lot of listening for 1 credit so for those who like long books like me it's great value and well worth it.

Great value but!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

to a friend ? to most people . it is a classic book coming of age with with two boys as the main characters one a nethermancer one a swords man. both with good humorous dialogue.

What did you like best about this story?

I really like the interaction an banter found in the book made it very relate able. they dont take them selves to seriously.

Have you listened to any of Tim Gerard Reynolds’s other performances? How does this one compare?

yes the ryira chronicles which also had two main characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

as ive said in many many reviews this is a stupid question.

Any additional comments?

this ladies and gents is a good book with a wide world and a great depth of characters , i was so glad all the books where in one as they flow very well and it was enjoyable to see the growth of the lads. it doesn't always go their way as well. would recommend

An immersing in depth fantasy book.

The book starts of interesting and engaging. The writing style helps a lot and I never felt like it was tedious. Characters are interesting and the world is as well. If I was to judge on these points alone it would have been a five star review. However, the writer missed a huge opportunity to make this book great by not fleshing out side characters of which there are too few and by not making an action book more packed with action. We get a lot of discussions with one liner after one liner (everyone is so clever you see) but when it comes to showing off power and describing action nothing much happens. The promise of a war fades; the rise to power equally is put aside for quests of trivial things that feel like they have no impact. No enemies that deserve much notice or situations that are nail biting. It is a coffee morning story rather than a tale of heroism by the campfire. The book had much potential in my opinion but the writer chose to tell it differently.
It starts of well and I thought I was in for a treat, but by the time your reach your destination in book 1 you feel underwhelmed. Books 2 and 3 are no different. A nice listen but not an epic.

Good writing with a mediocre story
