The Chain Breaker #10
An Ancient Return
The key to saving the future may come from the past.
The Sul’toral have been defeated, but peace is always tenuous—especially around Yoran with the El’aras and Leier making it their home.
When Gavin discovers a strange change to the ancient bralinath trees that connect him to a deeper El’aras magic, his search for understanding leads him toward different type of foe than he’s ever faced, only his power may not be enough to stop it. Worse—that very magic may be what his new enemy needs to succeed.
The fight is like nothing he’s ever encountered, and to survive, Gavin needs to fully understand power he’s never fully embraced.
Can he do it before everything he’s gained is taken from him—and used to destroy him?

I really enjoyed this book. What I liked most was Tristan coming along with the team but I’m a little peeved about the end. Where was Tristan during the confrontation with Tenender and is he ok?? Lots of adventure but not much action in this installment but it was still a blast.

I’m annoyed, I didn’t realize there was another book coming and I want to know what happens. This was a good book. Gavin’s power grows and changes again as he works with his friends to solve a problem. Things are interesting

Snooze…
So these books are getting worse and worse, if the next one is better I think I’ll be done with this series… Gavin is becoming an incredibly dull character with very little growth, and as dumb as the author portrays him it’s amazing he’s still alive… This book was quite the struggle for me, this size book should take a few days to read and it took me a few weeks it was so boring… The author feels like he’s running out of ideas so he’s dragging stories out way to long… We will see what the next one holds!

love this series
I really have enjoyed this series so far and can’t wait for the next to come out. The characters sometimes have relationships that are a little complicated to follow, because they are implicit, but I much prefer that to being forced to read pages &pages of turgid & unnecessary sideshow sex. The wondering is imbedded in the story & better for it.

Except for repeating several lines and paragraphs of the main character's thought process over-and-over, the book kept my interest as a light read. There was a sense of revisiting the land and characters of before. It is not a first read as the series builds off of the previous books.

Understanding
Some people are educated but fail to understand. Some people are intelligent but fail to see. Some people use knowledge to surpass those that do not understand what they see.

Superb and enjoyable series!!!!!
Congratulations to D.K. Holmberg for this amazing series. It’s extremely hard to find such an interesting and exciting author who not only writes intelligently but also provides top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories.

STORY GETS DEEPER
I like the way this story has so many twists and turns, it keeps me coming back to read more of the story and gavins exploits to find himself more than that which is going on around him.

Good read but can be too repetitive
I have really enjoy this series of books. My only constructive criticism would be to avoid repetitive phrases and ideas that occur too many times. I am looking forward to finishing the rest of the books in the series. Keep writing!

Intriguing story line
The storyline keeps unfolding with new and interesting aspects. I'm intrigued by where this is headed. The multiverse aspect is opening up the expanse of the story. Very interesting.

Way too much time in protagonists head
There were only a handful of plot progressing events and the rest of it was Tristan thinking. Too much head time...

Love this series
Book 10 read…speaks for itself. Magic, ancients, epic battles between good and evil. The only thing missing…romance…but who cares! Who needs romance anyway?

An Ancient Returns.
Took a bit to get through this one. Not too much happening and everything seemed to read the same over and over. Ready for 11.

great story
This series has a great story line but it’s as if the author is being paid by the word. Very repetitive and often drags but still a good read.
