Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,978
After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

Too much ridiculousness
Reviewed: 06-22-24
I am a big fan of post apocalyptic fiction and especially EMP themed stories. I listened to the full six book collection but at many points it was very difficult to continue because of the stupidity and ridiculousness of the plot:/ Way to many dumb decisions by the main characters, one of which is a nuclear scientist and another someone in the CDC. They act like total fools over and over and over again and no intelligent person would make such foolish decisions even in the face of such adversity. I do not recommended it and quite frankly wish I had not wasted my time:/

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29,562
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Really loved this book! Love the narrator and the story held my interest the whole book. So many times I thought the main characters were toast and yet they persevered and made it through. Will look for other works by this author now!

The United States may have just come to an end in this exciting post-apocalyptic, dystopian thriller about several electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks all at once. Not only has the electrical grid come crashing down, but all other critical infrastructures of the country have ceased to exist, leaving the country a vast wasteland, where only the ruthless and resourceful survive.

Liked the story but it was so ridiculous in the constant bad situations and it really could have gone into what is required to live after an EMP. Could have been so much better.

I loved this book! I laughed, I cried, and felt something with every word the narrator spoke. The narration was PERFECT for this story! It is a hard book to listen to, lots of pain and anguish, but so much love and happiness as well:) This story will stay with me for a long long time and I thank both the author and the narrator!

Worst narration EVER!
Reviewed: 07-11-21
I couldn’t even finish the story because the narration is soooooo bad! Did the author listen to this? Did he think it portrayed his story properly ? I like the other books by Matt Goldman but can’t even pay attention to the story because of the AWFUL narration. I have listened to other books with the Pinchot as the narrator that were fine but this just stinks😳
