While there are many important characters, each is fleshed out well, except where the needs of the mystery intervene, and the world-building is comprehensive, immersive, and believable. While there are a few too-telegraphed reveals, thats a minor quibble when so many strands of the tapestry are coming together on so many story levels in such a satisfying way. Sullivans writing improves with each book, as does his plotting. Sullivan pulls off what is one of my favorite styles of writing, where the story just keeps getting twistier and mystery stacks upon mystery as the story unfolds to be a much larger mythology than it seemed at the beginning of the tale. Sullivan hit the ground running and never let up. Im not entirely sure I can separate the stories from between the three books now, since reading them so quickly back to back, but happily, Age of War plunges right back into the midst of the story with one of my favorite characters, Suri, as she waits for Arion to awaken, and she and Michael J. It was an engrossing binge-fest to add Age of War to the mix as the storyline became deeper and darker and even more fascinating. I just love this whole series so far, and what a reminder! To do this book justice and remind myself of the story so far, I went back and read the first two books, Age of of Myth and Age of Swords before leaping into this latest tome. Review #3 Audiobook Age of War (The Legends of the First Empire #3) by Michael J.

Next books will feature Persephone who everyone know hates and no Raithe, just greaaaaaaaaat can’t wait, actually we can and will pass Like that helps and erases just terrible writing. Why does Seph treat Raithe so terrible at his gravesight? Well its because she is the anger stage of grief he says lol.

Sullivan just gets too defensive when his readers try to alert him to bad writing, he has an excuse for everything. Are you kidding me? She has been leading her tribe since day one with Raithe at her side. For a person that owes everything to Raithe, her treatment of him was just utterly horrible in this book, all for a silly reason that she needs to separate herself for the sake of her tribe.

The dark transformation of Persephone was just atrocious to read.

First two books in the series the characters maintained their personalities and were very interesting.
