Age of War audiobook – Legends of the First Empire, Book 3

In the midst of a long car journey, I found myself engrossed in the captivating world of Age of War audiobook by Michael J. Sullivan. The open road stretched out before me, and as I listened to Tim Gerard Reynolds’ compelling narration, I was transported to a realm where gods and humans collide in an epic battle for supremacy.

The story revolves around the fragile relationship between humans and Fhrey, a powerful race of beings. As alliances are tested and friendships pushed to their limits, the fate of both sides hangs in the balance. Persephone emerges as a central figure, uniting the human tribes against the gods and preventing internal mutiny.

Michael J. Sullivan masterfully weaves together love, hate, treachery, and deception throughout the novel. Just when you think you have it all figured out, the story takes an unexpected turn, leaving you hungry for more action and adventure.

The introduction of new characters brings renewed hope to the human race, while Nyphron’s vengeful plans after a failed marriage add another layer of complexity to the narrative. The intricate relationships between characters keep you on your toes until the very end.

Tim Gerard Reynolds’ narration is impeccable as always. His voice perfectly captures the intensity and grandeur of this age-old battle. However, it’s important to note that diving into Age of War without first experiencing Age of Myth and Age of Swords may leave readers feeling somewhat lost, as these books provide essential background information on key characters.

Overall, Age of War is a thrilling addition to Michael J. Sullivan’s series. It’s a tale that will keep fantasy lovers hooked from start to finish with its intricate plot twists and well-crafted characters.
