About this listen

A powerful sorcerer. A forgotten past. Hellequin is back, and the end is near.

A terrible storm is brewing in London, and Nathan Garrett, the sorcerer known as Hellequin, is the only one who can stop it.

But his enemies have other plans. Harnessing the power of an ancient stone tablet, they cast Nate and his allies into another realm, where a bloody conflict rages between creatures twisted by magic. Meanwhile, with his friends' lives in danger, Nate must put centuries of differences aside, and place his trust in one of his greatest foes.

Time is running out. Trapped and outnumbered, Nate must use all his wits and power to survive and find his way home before his enemies start a war that could destroy everything he holds close. Welcome to the penultimate chapter of the Hellequin Chronicles.

Disappointed with the change in narrator as all of the voices of the characters were quite annoying to start with. But once I got past that it was good.

Another great story

And the plot thickens, great story, I had to get used to the new narrator but he does an amazing job. Can't wait for next installment.

Great story,

The boom was as well paced and action packed as ever. However I found the new narrator (different from earlier books I this series) a lot less engaging and too monotone to portray the cheeky and bad assumptions version of Nathan that has been built up over this series so far.

I much preferred the old narrator for this series,

Superb series - story, action & characters. Excellent 'world building or modifying' as is set on Earth. Different timelines woven well & seamlessly. Well narrated by this narrator - though other one not as good. I'm really, really not looking forward to this series ending!

Postmodern fantasy anyone?

Overall this was an enjoyable listen and the story generally moved along well.

First thing though is that the narrator has changed from the one that has done the previous 5 novels. If you haven't listened to the previous novel in some time you might not notice but if you are listening one after the other you of course will be jarred by the change. The new narrator does a credible job and is fine.

The novel itself continues the various plot lines and resolves a few while starting up some more and ends with you wanting the release of the next one.

One bad habit that seemed especially noticeable in this release was the use of villians answering questions to advance the plot. Nate and his group would find some villain and ask them why they are doing something and generally get an answer or if not they would fight a bit and ask their questions and get some answers. It really did not seem very plausible and felt more like a plot device to advance the information and story.

The similarities of the spell scrolls and the sorcerers nightmares seems obvious though Nate did not pick up on it but it will undoubtedly be a part of the next story.

If you have made it this far in the series then this novel will easily met your expectations.

A nice continuation of the series

As a fan of the series I very much enjoyed this, with no mistakes from the book that I know of, however the one thing that put me off this listen through was the change of narrator from the rest of the installations as close as it was I still knew it changed from a slight accent change or a shorter pause between words and missed the old voices of characters despite the closeness.

That said all the rest of the series that come out with simon narrating I will still happily listen to as it was so beautifully done.

Just as good

I didn't like the change at first but after 30 minutes or so I got used to it and by the end of the book I was happy with the new reader and the story. Great new story although now we have to wait for the next book.

New reader takes a bit to get used to

The story was really good but the new narrator is bad, kept mixing character voices/accents and Nate sounds like a little girl quite a bit whereas the old narrator was a bit more gruff which is what I liked. However his accents for other character were on point and he does Mordrid really well. Apart from that a very enjoyable book.

story was epic
