The First Lord's game has reached a critical apex. For the first time in millennia, the teams are equally matched. The field itself holds a kind of equilibrium. It is the task of Björn's Players to unbalance the field in their own favor in their great game to restore Balance to the Realms of Light. But with Malorin'athgul and now Warlocks returned to the realms, the game - and the stakes involved - has elevated to an entirely new order of magnitude, requiring Björn's Players to do the same.

Frustrating at first but got better
Revisado: 02-05-20
The beginning of this book did not really feel connected to the end of the last one. I listened to them back to back in order to refresh myself on the story when this one was released and was very frustrated for the first 6-8 hours. That whole time felt like characters were inexplicably different than they were at the end of the last book, despite, in some cases, mere seconds passing. While avoiding spoilers, it seems like main characters suddenly have different thoughts or emotions about events than they did just moments (in the story) ago. In addition to this, another difference the characters seem to experience without the reader is a sudden jump in their ability. Multiple characters suddenly become much more capable with explanations as to why seeming to be convenient ways to skip ahead, leaving me feeling as if I missed out on parts of the story.
I also have a small gripe with the performance. Nick Podehl is always great and is genuinely one of the most talented narrators in my opinion. With that being said, listening to the last book and this book back to back made it very apparent that many of the character's voices were different. This wasn't a drastic change; it felt more like someone was doing a close but not perfect imitation of the voice he was doing before. For specific characters, this was jarring, as their voice was one of the primary elements of their character that benefited from an audio format. I understand that its not like he performed the series all in one sitting and I understand it would likely be difficult to pull out a voice you haven't used in a year or two, but it did affect my enjoyment and immersion at first, as I had to adjust to the change.
As I mentioned, by the end of the book the characters seemed to catch (mostly) back up with themselves in a way and I got used to the slightly changed voices. I *did* enjoy the book as a whole by the end. The last 10-12 hours were great.
