The plot of this sequel was a little bit too convoluted for my taste or let's say it was too "labyrinthine".It wasn't hard to follow it per se but I didn't like how all of our main characters were moved like chess pieces and used as a bait without them seeing the bigger picture. And the bigger picture is painted by most of the non human beings we met in previous books. Also the chewing parts were really gross.Nevertheless, the story was very enjoyable with breathtaking and descriptive action sce...
Rating 3.0 stars Not as good as the first 2 books. In fact, I kind of hated the ending. In the first book I can see how the apprentices ended up in their situation and had to fight their way out. Not really anyone's fault, just what happened. In the last book they also had to fight. It was mostly Allustin's fault but I can see how there wasn't much of a choice. In this one I was really upset with the plan and how the apprentices were treated. (view spoiler)[ They were bait. What is worse is that...
This was wonderful. A great third book in an excellent series with more tactical twists and turns and intrigue than in the previous two. It's also great to see the characters progressing, even Hugh realising that he may actually become quite powerful. The events in the final part were carefully orchestrated to give each of the apprentices a chance to shine and I'm happy at least one demonic threat is now gone and its storyline isn't dragged out over more books. Still, lots of new threats are lef...
This was a complete disappointment when compared to the other stories in this series so far. It felt like the first book of harry potter, only with no wonder or magic. There was no tension, it made the story and plot line an afterthought, and added nothing to the characters. Then, decided to wrap it up with some huge, rather uncreative, battle, that we saw coming since the first few chapters when the author was so lazy as to not cover his trails, and we found out who the traitor was from the gec...
WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?My thoughts at the end of this book. Pros:Plot:I enjoyed the slow parts for the characters' interactions and the fact that the reader gets to see Hugh and them learn more stuff, actual magic and become more powerful becomes more and more rewarding each time the action comes around. Plus the ending was absolutely amazing for me. Characters:Talia had a lot more growth and exposure in this one and I think I've moved on from my neutral standpoint on her and actually begin to lik...
A Traitor in Skyhold is the third book in the Mage Errant series by John Bierce. It’s so difficult to even know where to start!? But the characters are my absolute favorite part of this book. The number of new characters deposited into the series from just this book, makes me happy. So many weird and interesting new professors, teaching confounding classes. However, what I respected the most was Rhodes character development, and that Bierce did not strive for the cliche “I’ve learned my lesson a...
The best one so far. Fun as hell.
4/8/21: 5 stars. Holy fuck this was the best one yet. John Bierce has truly outdone himself. So much intrigue with the mystery, the character relationships, the magic, the politics of this world, and more—and somehow told through a group of teenage characters in school. I’m in awe, honestly. The stakes were raised so much with this one, alongside the scope, and I’m starting to see the level of genius and forethought involved with this project. This book has cemented Mage Errant as one of my favo...
I felt like nothing really happened in this book for the first 70% of it. most of it could have been cut out or trimmed away and replaced with plot line that actually advances the plot. Instead of reading about what gifts the characters out for each other that serve no point in the plot. there needs to be more actually learning to use their abilities. They were at school for an entire year but had only one or two chapters that focused on the classes and learning but thats about it. the plot didn...
The series keeps giving. A lot more politics, some mystery game and more mage school stuff. Antoher dip into the labyrinth and it is wonderful how the MC groups keeps being teenager with all the self esteem problems and love interests and uncertainies and stuff. Well woven story!
Overly done.What was a very well written story filled with enjoyable, strong but also broken characters gets turned into a convoluted secret filled mess. This book is overreaching and the threads of the story that pull you along are fraying rapidly.
Really unpleasant read. The author tries to do way too much, and tries to cater to every possible audience.The plot, story and character developer are all lacking.
Isn't it weird how fanfics often are obsessed with presents that characters give one another? It's as if the author yells "birthday o'clock motherfuckers" and has to follow up with a list of presents, and then, of course, also fit all of the presents into the future storyline. I call it Pavlov-Chekhov's Present. It's obnoxious and one of the things that makes the Mage Errant books read like fanfic, and great passages to illustrate how the writing could be so much more.Anyways. Young mages learn
A really good book with a not so great ending...I devoured all 3 books in 3 days and its sufficed to say I loved it.But I had some issues in book 3, Especially the final few chapters where I felt the story becomes unnecessarily complex and takes the focus from the main characters and it also gave me the feeling that Hugh has progressed only a little in this book maybe we'll see more of his progression on the next book which I'm definitely gonna read btw...
I can’t wait for the next one Another great book, this author is great. Has amazing world building skills and really brings the politics to life. Makes for an interesting read. I can’t wait for the next one
