Aolis Talos serves as the High Magister of the School of Ways in Sylrantheas and is the official in charge of the Alignment tests. He is described as a tall and stately black elf whose bald head is noted for "shining in the sun" during formal ceremonies. Though he typically maintains a regal and commanding bearing, he appeared "haggard, as if he hadn’t slept" during the high-pressure Waychoice ceremony following the Remnant attacks. He is a respected figure of authority whose usual composure breaks into a look of "amazement" when witnessing Trey's unprecedented and untrained display of healing magic.
Whilst I struggled with the concept of this book. Nearly giving up and abandoning it.
I am so glad I remembered my inner bookworm. The insatiable little girl who always finished a book. Always. Even if after the last page she thought. " well that was crap" on to the next one.
I am looking forward to the rest of the Metalwood Saga.
Thank you for sharing your amazing imagination.
This book seemed to take forever for me to read. But only after I started reading it it, I found out that it was extremely hard to put down. The Splinter Soul just goes to show that LOVE really conquers EVIL and HATE.
Does this series ever slow down? Not so far! It is well-paced with engaging characters and a fascinating plot that has kept me up late at night and setting an alarm to get up early to get even MORE reading time. I just finished book 5 and am, yet again (happens at the end of every Metalwood series book so far), deeply grateful to my husband for gifting me the ENTIRE SET. These books have me diving into the next one without a pause!
Jeremy Thomas Fuller has written a series that reminds me of the great fantasy writers of the last millennium. I hope that he continues creating his fantasy literature for decades to come.
I just finished this series. Overall it was a good read, an interesting twist on elves, humans,and other creatures.
I did find it hard to track just who was who and when things were happening with the myriad timelines.
The one thing that truly disappointed me was the introduction of JRR Tolkien into the storyline. It felt like a name drop for attention. I was in the last book, it wasn't needed and almost spoiled the entire read for me. Hence only four stars.
These are great stories and I can't wait to read the next one. I reallybdon't want them to end.
I really enjoyed this series, Writer was new to me ,
Glad I purchased these ebooks ,mine forever.I recommend this whole series.
I really liked the plot development in this series of books. I would encourage anyone who enjoys this genre, to read this series. They are a little different to the run of the mill books .
This book just wasn't to my taste in fantasy. I don't read foul language and don't like such darkness. Sorry I ordered the whole series before I realized this.
