BOOK DETAILS:
Legends of Marithia: Book 1 - Prophecies Awakening (Uncut and Extended 2014 Edition)
“When her sorceress mother and vampire king father are brutally murdered, Kassina makes a pact with Shindar, the Demon of Darkness. In exchange for her soul, Kassina obtains power to become the most feared sorceress in all the lands, and vows to exact her revenge on the people for the deaths of her parents. Granted eternal life, Kassina and her evil are never far away.
For many years, the humans and elves of the mystical world of Marithia have lived in an age of peace. But that peace is shattered when King Arman is slain by his own son, a pawn of the vampire sorceress Kassina. Arman’s murder sparks the most brutal and bloody war ever seen between the Forces of Darkness and the peaceful Marithians.
In the midst of the conflict, Vartan, a young knight wrongfully outcast from King Arman’s court, reluctantly discovers he is the subject of a prophecy involving the fabled weapon, Talonsphere. In alliance with the legendary dragons, he finds himself with the opportunity to rid the world of Kassina and her dark armies forever, and finally return Marithia to an era of peace."
Legends of Marithia: Book 2 - Darkness Rising
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Elven Woods, the two legends of Marithian prophecy are both dangerously close to the dark grip of death as Marithia suffers under the powers of the Blood Red Moon.
Vartan, prophesised to save Marithia, lays spellbound under the protection of the mythical dragons.
The vampire sorceress Kassina, prophesised to bring about their Armageddon has been moved to the underworld by the demon lord himself, Shindar.
A seed of the gods has grown and their greatest gift to Marithians, Anakari, makes her fated journey to discover her purpose.
A former shining jewel of Marithian peace, castle Greenhaven, remains in ruins after its defeat under Kassina’s forces and the elves rebuild their war torn city of Veldrenn.
Talonsphere must be found before Marithia merges with the Underworld and Shindar brings about the world’s end.
Legends of Marithia: Book 3 - Talonsphere
"The glowing stronghold of Marithian resistance, Greenhaven, has been recaptured from the Forces of Darkness in a victory overshadowed by a dark secret's revalation.
Vampire-sorceress Kassina is hell-bent on seeing out the Blood Red Moon prophecy and enact a grim conclusion to the world as they know it. As the realm of the underworld merges with Marithia, the Lord of Darkness, Shindar, is ever closer to marching into Marithia with his army.
Prince Vartan must walk his fated path and seek out Talonsphere, the ultimate weapon that will save them all that resides in the elusive location, Daessar. He is aided by the legendary dragons, a woman from the stars, a demon hunter, and a trusted knight.
Everything they fought for has led to this moment, and the gods watch from the stars above as the prophecies collide.
Who will be left standing?"

My special on http://www.sognipensieriparole.com/20...
Oggi voglio presentarvi una saga fantasy in lingua inglese, poco nota qui in Italia, ma che consiglio se vi piace comunque leggere in lingua originale.
Peter Koevari, l'autore, racconta di essere cresciuto immerso in un universo fantasy, a cominciare dalla visione di film come Labyrinth, Star Wars, Conan (cioè praticamente gli stessi film della mia generazione) per proseguire con video games e libri, tanti libri.
Alla fine ha deciso di lasciare uscire la propria immaginazione e di condividere il suo contributo con i lettori di tutto il mondo.
"Legends of Marithia" è una serie dedicata prettamente a un pubblico adulto, che contiene scene esplicite, talora crude, perchè mirano a far vedere tutte le sfaccettature dei personaggi,anche quelle negative. Quindi,per dirlo con le sue parole, "If you want a happy-go-lucky fantasy book which hides all of that, my books are not for you."
Un prodotto self ma originale e di buon livello.

Audiobook Series Review>
To preface this review, I will note that I selected this work as it seemed to be a complete series, it was on audio, it was performed by the voice actor who is working on my series: The Caeteran Tales, and I thought it would be a “Meaty Fantasy” To date, I have completed two of the three books in the Legends of Marithia trilogy, and the hook at the end of book 2 will likely push me to continue through the third. Although…there is a bit of a salty taste in my mouth after having read a couple of other reviews on Amazon and Goodreads where I learned that the 3rd book does not complete the series. (I shouldn’t be, because that’s how The Caeteran Tales go, but…I am.) In my case, I'm all for a good series, but I felt deceived about this one. It might have something to do with the fact that the word FULL is in the title.
What I liked about Legends of Marithia
I enjoy fantasy, and this book had all the stuff I normally love from a character and species standpoint. It met most things on my checklist, with the exception of vampires.
The blurb claims to be a mixture of Underworld (loved), GOT (salivating), and Eragon (DRAGONS! need I say more?). I will give the author this much, I can really see Underworld within his story. Heck, Kassina is the evil form of Selene in my mind. And I will give him Eragon, so much so that I almost felt like some aspects strayed too close!
Game of Thrones? I simply don’t see it!
David Swanson, the voice actor, is amazing. He handles a wide cast of characters with ease and makes them really come to life. He is the reason I’ve continued through this story.
What could use improvement
There were instances where I felt violently ripped out of the story because the writing blatantly stepped outside of the action to tell me what someone was feeling. It just didn’t come off as natural.
Too light on worldbuilding. This claimed to be an epic fantasy. As such, I have expectations that align with many of the great worldbuilders: Tolkien, Rothfuss, GRRM, you get the point. I felt like the author was too busy putting in different races (elves, demons, vampires, dragons, golems, etc.) to focus on really bringing Marithia to life. This is probably my biggest woe with the work!
Another small complaint is sex for the sake of sex. When reading with my eyeballs, I can skim this and forgive the author. While listening, I do not have this opportunity. There were times when I was driving and I flat out rolled my eyes at certain phrases. It’s so often simply not necessary.
Verdict: Worth the listen, but not sure I'd continue reading if it wasn't on audio.

This trilogy grabs you from the beginning. You won't even realized you're hooked until you've read halfway through the first book. I love fantasy and this trilogy is a perfect example as to why. You meet the hero at the beginning, disgraced for his own protection, watch a great kingdom fall at the hands of the evil demon queen. All the while, there is a love story going on in the background, one that shows that even in times of war love has a chance.
I will say this, the ending is not what you expect. The twists that lead to the end will completely throw you for a loop but in a surprisingly good way. The characters will grip you and hold you tight. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book!!

This is really poor writing - I do not recommend at all. I'm baffled by the good reviews that fooled me into buying this book. My 12 year old could write a better story with fewer discrepancies in the story.

Can't wait for the next book. Also love how the 1 person who bashes the book in their review has it set up so you can't comment on it. Great series so far for an independent author.

Marvelous! I enjoyed every moment of it. This trilogy is great! I highly recommend it, especially to those who love adventures.
