Story
Fear of magic is intensifying across the west. Morgan, a former Guardian of the Peace, believes the eradication of magic will lead to stability and lasting world peace. He will do anything to achieve his goal, even if it means murdering every child born with magical ability. The Red Tower is their last hope. Sheltered from a world that fears them, the students there are taught to control their wild and powerful gifts. But unrest is stirring both outside the walls of the Red Tower and within.

Kell Kressia is a legend, a celebrity, a hero. Aged just 17, he set out on an epic quest with a band of wizened fighters to slay the Ice Lich and save the world, but only he returned victorious. The Lich was dead, the ice receded, and the Five Kingdoms were safe. Ten years have passed; Kell lives a quiet farmer's life, while stories about his heroism are told in every tavern across the length and breadth of the land. But now a new terror has arisen in the north. Beyond the frozen circle, north of the Frostrunner clans, something has taken up residence in the Lich's abandoned castle.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Fantasy violence and magic. Good stuff.
Would you consider the audio edition of Chaosmage to be better than the print version?
I've not read the print version but I'm a huge fan of Matt Addis as a narrator, he adds a lot to the story so I can't see the print version being better.
What other book might you compare Chaosmage to, and why?
If you've read Battlemage and Bloodmage, this is closer to Battlemage, especially in terms of fighting, magic and violence. If you've not read books 1 and 2, fans of Brandon Sanderson probably will not be left too disappointed for story line and complexity of characters.
Which character – as performed by Matt Addis – was your favourite?
He has such a broad range, giving each race a particular accent. I think he suits a wide range and his female voice is pretty good (not that silly weak voice so many male narrators go with). To answer the question though, I've enjoyed his interpretation of Vargus throughout.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It's not really that sort of story.....
Any additional comments?
A good third book in the series. I liked it better than Bloodmage.

Conclusion, but not quite
The Age of Darkness comes to an end with this book and it is an exciting, it violent, conclusion. However, it is clear that there is plenty of room for the next age to start - hence the new novel coming out soon.
My biggest criticism is that too many of the individual stories are inconclusive. I had expected that by the end of the trilogy that I would know what happened to some of those characters who had been introduced but unfortunately this was not the case. Perhaps this says more about my liking for tying up of lose ends rather than the novel itself.

Good story but I skipped much
Good story well narrated so it was easy to get into it. I found the battle scenes too much and long so started skipping through then found myself skipping some of the reflective stuff as the tail dragged hence the loss of a star. However I was still engaged with the outcome so this didn’t lose me.

Good reading, will re-read moments from the book
I have enjoyed all three books and I can definitely recommend them to anyone who likes good fantasy, with brutality and more or less mature themes and philosophical discussions. This one is on the same good level as others. And Matt Addis is overwhelmingly good!

nice ending to a gripping trilogy
another great book that i greatly enjoyed listening to. the only small issue i had was that the end felt a bit rushed. what seemed like major events were happening back to back like if the author were 'running out of time' to tell the story. but that doesnt reduce the impact of the great story telling. def8nitely will listen to it again in future.

Excellent work!
Continuing some of the loose story threads from the first two books, this was a great way to wrap up loose ends.
Just like the last two iterations, we get a completely new type of story. Namely a bodysnatcher apocalypse sort of theme.
It was very interesting and much of the story kept me guessing throughout.
We also got a little more information on the mysterious gods that keep popping up. Primarily only Kai though. Unfortunately Vargas has only a very small role in this one.
The narration was at it's usual best as it has been with the last two.
If you enjoyed the first two, you'll love this one!
