Summary
The Stormriders approach, certain to leave death and destruction in their wake. Can one young man find a way to defeat them?
Ten years after his father’s death, the memory of the attack still haunts 19-year-old Ary. On the eve of the draft, he faces his greatest fear: being sent to join the marines.
He knows the cost of war.
Ary dreams of marrying his childhood sweetheart, building a farm, and starting a family. But the Stormriders threat of war puts his loved ones and his plans in jeopardy.
Wishing for peace won’t make it true.
For love, for his people, and for the life he desires, Ary makes a decision that will change everything. Thus begins The Storm Below.

Not worth the single credit and time
YA sci-fi romance, 40 hrs into the series and I've had to stop listening as I couldn't take the melodrama anymore.
Narrator does his best to bring the story to life but you can only do so much with the material written.

Good engrossing story.
Know others have commentated on all the misery. Agree at times it just seemed a bit relentless, one thing after another. But got really engrossed in the characters and story. Wish the author maybe concentrated a bit more on some of the funnier fringe characters eg Guts, Pellegrin, Grechen ( not sure if spelling is correct) etc. Just to lighten the mood a bit.

I never shouted at a book as much as I did this one
Great performance and story, great premise/ideas, twist and turn’s really drew you in, I got so frustrated with some of the characters to the point of shouting at my phone and even stopped listening for a few days in annoyance.
However like all good stories it drew me back in.
Highly recommended

Enjoyable
This was a frustrating but good series.
Even though I struggled at times with the time it took dwelling on the same feeling or point being made and repeatedly, I still loved the world and story that was built.
Sad though it was at times it gave a good representation of human reactions both good and bad.
I definitely recommend.

Tedious overly dramatic YA fantasy
This really was an epic struggle. 5 chunky books and I was fed up halfway through the first but was intrigued enough to persist.
The story is set in a world that has been split by vengeful gods into some Skylands (big landmasses hovering in the air because of “crystals”), and dark and dingy land below, and raging storm in between. Most of the action takes place above the storm and we meet Ary, Cheylene and Vell, childhood friends who all enlist for the military at the same time. The whole of the first book is a dull love triangle as Cheylene can’t make up her mind between the angry strong stereotype Ary (who she’s married to) or the handsome sex pest Vell. Nothing happens between them but there is so much melodrama and tedious teenage angst. Near the end of the book we learn that Ary has been storm-touched and hears voices and the military camp is attacked by German-accented pirates (the narrator has no other voices except standard American, dubious German and posh English so all characters fall somewhere in one of those three voices).
The rest of the books have similar levels of melodrama (90% of the content, either due to childhood trauma, having killed someone during a battle despite being a trained soldier or again because of the love triangle even though nothing happened and long after Vell has died). A plot does begin to emerge (one god not being as they seem) and a quest to strike back begins.
The narrator ramps up the melodrama even further with frequent screams of “stormwall” and over-acted dialogue.
As with most fantasy books, the characters have made up names - most are fine but a few are too similar and one randomly changes her name to signify becoming evil in about book 4 - but some are just noise - mainly the bird people whose names are almost just vowel sounds stitched together and sound like the signal is dropping and you’re not catching full name.
On the different people of the world I really had no idea who was human, who was lizard and who was a bird, the human races seem indistinct (except for some being German) and the others are barely present making me assume certain races were those.
The story could have been squeezed into one or two books, rather than stretched out to 5, if all the melodrama were toned down and the endless repetitive internal monologues removed. And that is with the main characters’ progression through the military ranks being accelerated despite all evidence of their incompetence - there seems to be nobody in these books except 16-19 year old recruits and ancient scholars).
Also, certain of the authors habits start to get annoying , eg someone “grunted in Vargthian” as if you can grunt in a specific language. And the usual fantasy trope of invented swear words to keep it clean (“Theissig’s scrawny tail-feathers” being the worst but hussy and sow also being rather overused and annoying).
I did not enjoy this book due to the amount of teen angst (it seems to be marketed as a dark fantasy but it’s 100% YA fantasy) and how badly stretched out the fairly simplistic plot was. I’ve never been more glad to finish a series.

Perfect fantasy to get lost in
Loved this series of books full of twist & counter twist storylines, the only thing that spoilt my enjoyment was the loss is sync even though I only use one device, I assume because the download is so large. I’m glad I stuck with it though well worth listening to.

Good story but american pronunciation was distracting
A long storyline but well developed
Sometimes was repetitive
Had a feeling that author is a strong Christian
