About the author
P.S. Power
189 books295 followersP.S. Power works in fiction, mainly focusing on Fantasy, Science Fiction and Horror genres, with brief forays into other things just to keep life interesting. He averages 1 to 2 books monthly and has several series going. He lives in an isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, as a recluse, yet still manages to find time to talk to people online, in a positive and delightful manner. Not one of those creepy hermit types though, you understand. It's more of an isolated farm style thing. Or ranch really. He's also interested in three dimensional photography, and long moonlit walks on the beach, sometimes with vampires. When he can find time he also does writing and voice work for scripted online programs. Anyway, feel free to drop him a line.

Hello Everyone!
In chatting with Dale over the past few weeks, it was decided that he was interested in blogging to you, his readers. The blog he had within the main site was not going to be a viable solution and there were thoughts of just creating a Forum where only he could post and everyone else could reply. This MOD is a nice meeting of the two for what will hopefully be a highly successful blog!
Hoping this first (and only) post by me will kick off a nice method of interaction with Dale's readers!

p.s. - Also going to try and get the feed that comes with this to feed into Amazon and Goodreads. Good luck to one and all!!

Ok. That next book better be out soon, like you promised. This volume was a bit of the same. Still, Anders remains an interesting character so, no harm, no foul here. I’m ready for the next one now, though. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by this author. Thanks for that.

A tough read
Because your sentences are almost alway half full of unnessary words that confuse the meaning. You have two part sentances that are unnessary. Almost always. The second half should be elimimated because they do not clarify the story but muddle what you are trying to say. It make reading so difficult. Know i read almost 200 books a year, i have a masters degree and to BS degrees so im not stupid. The habit you have of elongated sentences is ruining your writing which would be really good except for so much extra add on's that muck up your story. Obviously my degrees are not in english/ creative writing i do not mean to insult, i do like your books, but you need a good editor. You have a real gift but it does need to be refined. Thank you

Wow, a lazy 13 yr boy old infested with a 1500 yr old historian. Medieval style era, magic, coming of age all together. Not something I would normally like, BUT. Somehow this whole series struck me and I read them all. No one will call them great literature but they all seem to tug at you. I meant to give it 4 stars but my finger slipped on the kindle and it came up with 5. No worries, I would not have read them if I hadn't enjoyed them. One thing about me, if I don't like something, I just do not finish it. So just getting to the end means I liked it. The story line is difficult for me to like BUT.

Andres Broley is 13, going on 30
Anders is 13 with the memories of an ancient historian sharing space in his head. He's killed 10s of thousands in battle, the son of a prince and made a prince in a foreign land, a great healer, master illusionist, teacher of unique magics, Dean of a college of magic. Now he's the target of a assassin cult. Will he make it? Can he find the assassins? Why are they after him.
Well written with great characters, and as always with Powers, a great read.

Stop with the question marks!
Since the veginn8ng of of the series concept I've really invested in the character development and storyline, but the constant framing of nearly every piece of dialog in this book as a question is the most frustrating piece of literature that I've encountered in my entire life. The previous iteratins took me me days to read through. This book had taken months and I'm still not finished. I'm invested in the characters and storyline, but wtf? It's punishing to read. It's the dark souls 3 of fantasy.

Exciting new book in the Crystals of Memory series
I started to read PS Powers new book in the Crystals of Memory series only to realize that I had no idea what was going on, so re read the entire series again. I really enjoy this series! I love the characters and the development. I appreciate that the main characters age is taken into account and age appropriate sex scenes are developed. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I don't really know what to write about this story. Pretty much the same as the previous books. I am intrigued and frustrated at the same time with the MC. He is incredibly intelligent but is also extremely dumb in social situations. One would think by the 5th book he would understand sarcasm. I can't complain too much because all of this author's MCs are exactly the same. I enjoy it but also get tired of it at the same time by the 3/4 point in the book. I still enjoy it but I do need to take long breaks between books.

Another amazing story
I didn't know what to expect from this book but since I loved the others in the series I had to read it. This was an amazing continuation of Anders' story and I can't wait to re-read it while waiting for the next book.

Awesome books
I have been listening to this series on audiobook and I sadly only have three books left. I will have to find something as Delightful as the adventures of Anders. Magic abounds as true friendships are formed and their perception of the world around them changes.

Good read
If you haven’t read this author before it a nice break from the style of most other. As always I read each as it comes out and enjoy the storytelling.

Finished too soon
Have enjoyed this series from the first book. It is well crafted and thought out. With the spacing between books, sometimes need to be reminded of who is who.

Great follow up of the previous ones in the series. The author has found new and imaginative ways to have his characters perform magic.

Much better than book 4
This Is one has a good flow. Much better than last book which was very slow and had dull moments. I highly recommended as a good read.

Epic magic/sword wielding world
This series is amazing. The magic, the growth of characters, the story line all satisfy those who enjoy epic worlds. Anders starts out as a selfish weak character and already has become strong, honorable and someone to look up to. It’s a world you want to visit, help, and immerse yourself into! HIGHLY recommend!!
