What to expect

The aging First Lord of Alera has fallen in battle. Yet his people must continue to resist an invading inhuman army. Desperate Alerans even pledge fealty to the Vord Queen to survive, turning the incredible power of Aleran furies back on their own people. And despite all efforts, the Alerans are being ground into dust and pushed to the farthest reaches of their own realm.

However, Tavi has returned with vital insights from the Canim Blood Lands. He knows how to counter the Vord and, more importantly, believes human ingenuity can equal fury-born powers. Now events are rushing towards a last stand, where Tavi and the last Aleran legions must formulate a dangerous new strategy, together. For a civilisation is on the brink of extinction.

A note for the listener: the previous audiobook narration contained sound effects (including trumpets) these have since been removed from the recording. If you already own this title in audio, please re-download the audiobook to your device.

    I stuck with this series but not sure why I did. Not brilliantly written - clichés, repetition and some really ugly phrasing (“off of”? Really?). The battles are endless and formulaic, the heroism predictable. And the narrator has some very odd pronunciations that shook me out of the narrative (e.g. fee-ral for feral). But it passed the time while I was driving I suppose.
