Summary

Contains books 1 and 2 of The Frozen Flame series.

Magic is the key...but will it save them, or consume them?

Ashes, book 1:

For Natalia, there is no choice. Trained as a battle mage, she has the potential to be the most powerful spellcaster the family has ever produced. Yet their price is too high.

Meanwhile, Athgar's life is about to change forever. On the day his village is burned to the ground, his magical potential is released by the very fire that nearly consumed him. He is driven by revenge until he learns he may not be the only survivor.

Now, Natalia is on the run from her family, while Athgar desperately hunts for his. Together, they journey across the continent, searching for clues of a conspiracy that has remained secret for years.

Will their enemies destroy them before they discover the truth?

Embers, book 2:

Natalia and Athgar are safely ensconced in the sleepy town of Ostermund when a chance encounter leads them on a trail of deceit that implicates an old ally.

After discovering who is behind the plot, they must make a choice, stay hidden or risk everything in the name of friendship!

Athgar, descendant of a vanquished people, wants only to protect that which he holds most dear.

Natalia, now secure in her powers, seeks peace, but the ever-growing shadow of the family threatens all she has fought for.

Together, they embark on a path where even their success could spell defeat, for this battle may start a war that none can stop.

A ripping good yarn

I really enjoyed this book, the performance was a little flat though. The story line wasn't the usual run of the mill adventure which was a pleasant change

It’s was enjoyable and very stereotypical

If you like the classic story of a great mage who’s power is unmatched and everyone they meet along the way is so trusting then this is the book for you, I just found it a bit too predictable and narration was monotone. I did really enjoy the battles however as they were more descriptive

character's motivation not believable...

character's motivation not believable at any point, and seeming all characters other than the protagonists are a bit thick...

very well narrated but with awkward characters

It was nearly carried by the narrator but awkward characters ruined the story.
I think the author was trying to portray how trust can develop between people from completely different backgrounds but it just leads to awkward dialog which is difficult to work through.
I got about halfway through the first book in the series before giving up.

seems like a good story

i like the setting and the story seems good. but the writing is clumsy. after listening for six hours or so, i could no longer put up with the meaningless prattle between the protagonists.
a shame.
the narrator does a good job with weak material.

basic. but got me to sleep. no character building

2 dimensional and story seemed dependent on dialogue. not too much character or situation building. it just races along. not too sophisticated but ok for free. actually the second book teaser seemed more interesting. perhaps it improves....

OK for a free book

The actual storyline for these books is pretty good. I enjoyed that. However the delivery of that storyline I didn't enjoy as much. The sheer amount of dialogue was infuriating, especially considering it was poorly written, highly repetitive, and mostly unnecessary. Every conversation included at least one word that someone didn't understand or had never heard of before. so we had to listen to the dumb explanation for it. it was like every character in this world was stupid.
The narration was pretty dull.
I did stick it out to the end though in hopes that it did get better, but the quality stayed the same unfortunately.

I will put it out there though that the action scenes were very good. If you can put up with the unneeded dialogue then it's a decent book considering it was free.

Fantasy at it's finest

I suppose you can still call an audiobook a pageturner... Because this was amazingly written and narrated

Yes

While I think I found the story enjoyable, I had some issues. The vocabulary used isn't very broad, and there's an excessive use of the words "yes" in all conversations that could have been replaced with e.g. "indeed" "of course" "I see" and probably some other options to spice up the experience a bit.

I'm not sure whether to blame the author, reader or editor for this next one, though I suspect one of the latter. Either there's a big lack of punctuation in the book, or the reader/editor decided to disregard lots of them. Several other authors I've read, use a "big" paragraph split(shown below) to indicate a shift in perspective or time within the chapter.

------------

Though here some of those sounded like they were part of the same sentence, but they lacked coherence. I had to pause and go back on several occasions to get ahold of the story again. I could compare it to watching sports, where the commentator suddenly swapped from the end of a hockey match your were watching, to a ski jumping contest without pausing for breath. You would be momentarily stunned until you understood what just happened.

TL;DR: Yes yes yes without punctuation or paragraphs
