Review Detail

What I liked:
Worldbuilding for this series is epic, and each time I pick up the book, we venture further into the world and encounter some pretty scary creatures. Giant spiders, no, thank you. Ty discovers a book that he believes is blank tell it starts talking to him, and inside those pages are some very dark secrets that could unravel the world. These are large books, so you have to be ready for things to move at a slower pace and take the time to absorb what does unfold in the larger picture of what the author is trying to develop in his story. If you are not a big book, this may not be the tale for you.
Final Verdict:
The Aldoran Chronicles is very much class epic fantasy; you have quests, danger, magic, evil, good, scary fantasy creatures, and determination to right the evil in the world. The key to why each epic fantasy I read works is the author crafts a story that engages the reader and keeps them coming back to the story. There are a lot of storylines to juggle and a lot of characters to keep straight. You need to invest the time to enjoy the story and follow the journey.
Audiobook Review:
Epic long fantasy stories over 300 pages with lots of plot are best on audiobook cause you can sink into the account, and the narrator can carry you away. The narrator of this one does an excellent job with the story's pacing and keeps the variety of characters well in hand. I am looking forward to the final book. Just over 800 pages will make for an epic audio read.
