Summary

Two hundred years after the Forbidding was broken, Santhenar is locked in war with the lyrinx - intelligent, winged predators who will do anything to gain their own world. Despite the development of battle clankers and mastery of the crystals that power them, humanity is losing. Tiaan, a lonely crystal worker in a clanker manufactory, is experimenting with an entirely new kind of crystal when she begins to have extraordinary visions.

The crystal has woken her latent talent for geomancy, the most powerful of all the Secret Arts - and the most perilous. Falsely accused of sabotage by her rival, Irisis, Tiaan flees for her life. Struggling to control her talent and hunted by the lyrinx, Tiaan follows her visions all the way to Tirthrax, greatest peak on all the Three Worlds, where a nightmare awaits her....

Critic reviews

"Ian Irvine is arguably the most inventive fantasy author to emerge in recent years.... A page turner of the highest order. Formidable!" ­( SFX)
"Ian Irvine has produced one of those rarities in the fantasy genre, and that is a unique, well-thought-out world coupled with a well-written storyline. A gripping read for Irvine fans or a fresh new series for any other readers." ( Enigma [UK])
"Readers of Eddings, Goodkind, and Jordan will lap this one up." ( Starlog (UK))

Just as I remember

I read the book years ago in hard copy. This audiobook version has brought the story back to memory, just as gripping as I remember. I look forward to completing the others!

loved it

Having just finished The Mirror Quartet and thoroughly enjoyed the 4 books I decided to continue. I am loving this story and the narrator is wonderful. I have learnt that it doesnt matter how good a story is if you have a bad narrator it just ruins it. I am downloading the next book and I am loving the storyline and the caractets. Go for it!

disappointing

Would you ever listen to anything by Ian Irvine again?

no, it's the second book of his that has dissappointed me.

What three words best describe Grant Cartwright’s voice?

mediocre

Was Geomancer: Well of Echoes, Book 1 worth the listening time?

not really

Any additional comments?

"too much teenage angst" said another reviewer. I just found the characters behaving in unconvincing ways.

Absolutely aweful

Author has clearly never met a woman or knows anything about human behaviour. Total garbage
