Book 6 is the last in the series I will read
Reviewed: 07-25-22
Book 5 already was a struggle about 2/3s of the way through. However, I have seen this happen a lot. Especially with this Genre. So I got book 6 and after the whole storyline just left the rails. I went to read the ratings for the next books which I usually don't do. Since everyone has their own opinion. After reading the reviews it seems the story will continue on the current downhill path.
It is sad because the series started off great.

This is an excellently written book. The storyline and characters were well thought out. I had to immediately buy the rest of the series. Also, Nick Podehl is still one of my favorite narrators.

Story
It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

I knew from the name this would probably be a fun book and it is. However, it was better than I thought so I got the audible also. The narration was excellent. Can't wait to start the others.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

This is an excellent book. Really loved the individual character builds and trials. He did a great job of keeping me interested. The bouncing between people was well orchestrated.

Story
It is said by some that the Spellmonger’s exile to the Magelaw left Sevendor, the City of Magic, unprotected in his absence. That would be untrue, for though the mightiest mage of the era was forced by law and custom to refrain from visiting his realm in Castal, he left behind a significant body of learned and dedicated colleagues to continue his policies and see to the protection of the magelands. These were not all warmagi, nor even High Magi; indeed, the strength of Sevendor depended on magi of all types and descriptions.

Terry Mancour is just an awesome writer. The Spellmonger series is just super and should be a TV series. Before 2010 I wouldn't have suggested that but with today's technology they could pull it off.

When Minalan the Spellmonger was exiled from his beloved mageland of Sevendor by Prince Tavard, his friend Duke Anguin made him Count Palatine of the Magelaw, a vast realm in the Alshari Wilderlands that Minalan is all too familiar with. After the goblin invasion, the province is devastated, ruined, and peopled almost only by freed slaves. But Minalan has brought his recovering wife and family into exile with him, and he views their impoverished fief as an opportunity to build a new City of Magi in the wilderness.
