Magic has protected Tarsynium for a thousand years, shielding its people from a world ravaged by bloodthirsty demons.

When a village is mysteriously destroyed, rangers, mages, and rebels all point the finger, blaming each other for the demons' brutality. However, Zara Dennel, a mage's ward, has heard Owyn's tale - and she's inclined to believe him.

Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land. The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Waring God's.
An absolutely fantastic conclusion to The Weapons Takers Saga. You might have to get out the tissues out for this one. Jamie Edmundson just tore out my soul..😥 This final book is so epic it has it all, from Duelling God's, A Giant fighting a Dragon, lots of magic and so many battles will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. Our twin heroes and their companions have one more godly weapon to find, the Giant's Spear. If found they will have all four magical weapons to take on and help try beat the dark forces unleashed by Diis. Soren and Belwynn will face their biggest tests to date. Friends and allies will fall along the way, but will it all be for the greater good. You will have to check it out for yourself. Great writing with so many good characters, the worldbuilding, plot and setting is just brilliant. The narrator's Greg Patmore and Brigid Thomas have have been awesome through out the whole series, highly recommend...😁🖤

The story is ok until the very end of the epilog.
The narrators are great. The number of Voices Greg Patmore is able to produce is impressive. However Jamie Edmunson seems to rush through the story. This complete series could have been a great epic if he would have slowed and put more into it. And the very end of the epilog just seems wrong to me. The end started off good but then it wasn't. just my opinion.

An improbable and unsatisfying ending to the series
The first three books of the trilogy took their time to build up the lore and set the stage for this “Final Showdown”. It was akin to having stretched a rubber band painstakingly slowly in anticipation of that huge release when you get to see the rubber band fly majestically off into the horizon… only the rubber band never takes flight. It snaps on your fingers and falls to the floor in the blink of an eye.
This review is only targeted towards this penultimate episode of the Weapon Taker’s Saga. I found the other three books somewhat enjoyable but this conclusion seems poorly thought out and rushed to the point where the story collapses under its own pace (much like the widely despised Final Season of HBO’s Game of Thrones).
Characters that you’ve followed for thousands of pages and dozens of hours (whether having read the series or listened to the audiobook) get glossed over, even in the Epilogue. You’re left scratching your head, thinking: “Was that it? What exactly was the purpose of this character for this entire time??”
This is not to say that this book did not have its moments. It certainly does. But the ending leaves much of the fate of Dalriya in question. It is possible that was by design, perhaps to pave the way for a sequel saga? I just don’t know. And that’s where all of the tension leading up to this point just collapses like a snapped rubber band. You’re anticipating a particular trajectory when you shoot this rubber band and instead, it goes nowhere. When I heard the audiobook narrator suddenly intone: “Epilogue…”, I jumped up and tore my headphones off and exclaimed “WTF!?”
The motivations of the characters seem contrary to the image of them that I had built in my mind for the last three books. These aren’t the characters you’re looking for (Jedi finger waving). Their behaviors and actions are not given the time to coalesce (the way you saw Theron slowly change). Characters who’ve been dependably predictable suddenly seem to lose their minds and act completely differently at the turn of a page. And then, they’re written out without any further explanation.
There was only one instance where that worked: When the Emperor contemplated his situation on the ridge and decided that he had put other people in harm’s way for too long and that his moment had come to finally be remembered by historians as “Bloody Baldwin”, slayer of 200,000 Drobax. That was a rather sudden turn of events but you could follow the dotted line through the story and see how the months of enduring siege after siege pushed him to this. It was well done and I cheered for him.
But others? Others who were so careful and methodical and calculating? Suddenly, they snap their fingers and say: “Hmm… effff it! Let’s see what happens if I do X, Y and Z.” That’s not a plot twist. That is just sloppy writing.
Performance: It was decently done. The Krykker voices grate on your ears, and the sing-song interpretation of the Caladri make me grate my teeth. But still, having a male performer do male voices and vice versa is an innovation that other audiobook publishers should try. It’s really all that kept me engaged throughout a very vanilla saga that was too heavy on political info-dumping and too light on character development.

What a seriously magnificent ending to a really really well written series. What a hella adventure and with an ending I didnt see coming at all! This was a tale of heroes and love, of darkness and evil, of truths and lies. I hated that it ended and I lost some very beloved characters, but what a great way to go....,as legends. Oh... I almost forgot, I was gifted this book for my thoughts and well, just cant say enough how really good this series is. If you are reading this review, read the books!
