Resumen del Editor

Embrace the (B)light....

It has been 50 years since the sun died over Ashathar. Blaike was born in the blight. As one of the "touched" he is devoid of power. He is forbidden from following the Lightweaver Path.

The "touched" still serve the brightlands, working the mines to extract sunstone; to deliver it to the Lightweavers, the saviors, preservers, and rulers of Ashathar. The largest sunstone ever extracted from the mines has been found. It could empower the brightlands for months. When it is discovered that someone stole the sunstone's power, Blaike is exiled from the brightlands. Was he really to blame? Can he survive the blight? Or, is there a larger threat than the Lightweavers ever realized that could destroy Ashathar once and for all?

Ming Yue is the daughter of a brewer. The Ming clan's elixirs have supported those on the Lightweaver path for a half-century. Yue's twin brother was taken by the blighted when they were children. But when she's denied access to the Lightweaver path, since she is not the first-born child of her clan, Yue's father tasks her to create an elixir that might save her brother from the blight. He's the only chance the Ming clan has to remain prominent amongst the brightborn, to produce a Lightweaver who might protect Ashathar for years to come. But there is no guarantee that Yue's brother has survived among the blighted. Would he remember her at all? Is the mysterious figure, found in the blight, truly her brother—or is he someone else, someone who might challenge the dominance of the Lightweavers and the security of Ashathar?

Blightmage is the first book in Kataklysm, an action packed epic progression fantasy series. Fans of progression/cultivation epic fantasies, unique magic systems, and immersive epics like Will Wight's Cradle series or Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive where the hero starts weak but gains power over time will also enjoy this expansive saga.

5 stars

Well done. Well narrated.  will be looking forward to the next from this author. I received this copy free in exchange for an honest review.

Good beginning

Good beginning for a progression fantasy novel. There is an interesting magic in play. The two main characters are cool and each brings something unique to the table. The beginning felt like it was a little rushed but it settled down and the plot was really compelling with an epic battle at the end. I’m excited to see what happens next. I really appreciated having the two narrators. It definitely enhanced the performance of the book.

Great beginning

This was a great beginning to what I'm hoping will be a long and enjoyable series. The characters and story depth had me unable to stop listening to this book. I cant wait for book 2 and I would highly recommend this book.

Great narration from Giancarlo Herrera and Hannah Schooner.

B+

I didn't like the dual narration at all. And rarely is there any reason for the narrator to actually read "he said" or "she said". You'll hear the female say "and he said" and then the male voice will say the line.

Storyline itself was good. Won't be in my top 20 but definitely will be giving book 2 a try. I just hope the narrators get it together.

Very much worth the listen!!

Was truly in the mood for a Sci Fy/fantasy style novel that was FULL of action packed adventure and a rich world and cast to make it all interesting and intriguing. Also can’t go wrong with the dual narration as well!! Well done!!

Received free for an honest review

A thoroughly enjoyable listen

I honestly wasn't expecting much considering that I hadn't heard of this author and there were very few reviews, but I found myself pleasantly surprised. The narration was pretty good and I found myself listening to it in a similar way to the Cradle series. I'm very much looking forward to listening to book 2.

pretty good.

Intresting book, keeps you captivated and pulled in the story, it has good progression, magic and cultivation, I recommend giving this book a try :)

Great start

Im getting huge cradle vibes on this one.
The magic system is very interesting and intricate.
Action-packed with tones of progression.

Great start to a new series

Great start to a new series. I like the cultivation setting and this feels a bit like Cradle.
Very good dual narration.
Looking forward to the next installment

Great start to a promising new series!

This story was great! I'm looking forward to more in this series. Hope they get them out quickly!
