THE ECHOES OF FATE, A PROPHECY UTTERED UNTO THE WORLD A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, CANNOT BE DENIED…

Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

Unaware of the shadow that looms in the east, the six kingdoms of man are fractured, unallied, and clawing at each other’s gates for more power.

This isn’t just war set to ravage the land, but a slaughter - the world of man cannot hope to survive.

Thrown into the heart of this war is a man known by many names; an Outlander of the wilds, an assassin, a ranger. Asher was born a thousand years ago, to a life he doesn’t remember. Forty years of brutal training and killing for money has beaten the earliest years of his life away, leaving his ties to the oldest of evils a mystery to all…

RISE OF THE RANGER LAUNCHES AN UNMISSABLE EPIC FANTASY SERIES.

Seriously the best Fantasy saga in the world!

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 11. März 2024

Verifizierter Kauf

In the past 30 years I have read a truckload of fantasy books and although I did come cross quote a few excellent series, I must say that this is without any doubt the best I've ever laid my eyes on. The characters are all unique and well described, and the whole series is a page turner.
In my humble opinion far better than Tolkien and Martin together!

Please continue writing, Philip, you got me hooked.

Very good start of a classical epic fantasy series

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 26. Juli 2023

Verifizierter Kauf

Actually it’s three trilogies that take place in the same world and with a recurring cast of characters, as I’ve read. And „Rise of the Ranger“ is the book to start it all. Which also means that the characters, the world and the overall story have to be introduced. And that is well done here, but does impact the pacing a lot. I actually don’t know if there is any epic fantasy with a complex world, magical system and/or society that can prevent that. I haven’t read one. But „The Rise of the Ranger“ does better than most introducing the many characters and lead into the plot without either info-dump or leaving the reader lost in translation forever.
The Ranger is Archer, an ex-assassin who has an interesting and mysterious background and is drawn into human and elven politics against his will. He meets Nathaniel, one of the Greycoats, unaffiliated knights serving all human countries, an elven princess and others who all have their own agenda (and POV). There are more POVs and it provides the reader with various perspectives and we learn a lot about the who and what (now and then). Not all the POVs are equally interesting, but there wasn’t one I did not like to read to see what would be happening next. Especially after I made it through the initial chapters and got invested into the plot, the machinations and especially how some of the characters fared. I’m really happy to have found that series!

Exciting read, a mix of everything that makes Fantasy-saga's great, and a very good serie-opener.

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 22. August 2023

Verifizierter Kauf

Great book, could not put it down once I had started. There are multiple storylines with many characters to get to know but the character-building of the main characs is great and it's quite easy to get into the storyline. The world and storylines with elves and rangers reminds me of Lord of the Rings, and the fighting skills and style of the Arakesh reminds me of The Witcher saga a little bit, without it being too similar or feeling too much inspired by those other fantasy stories. So it reads like a mix of great fantasy stories, and it also reads easily. Some great action-packed chapters are longer, where some are only a few pages long which paces the book nicely. A great, fun and exciting read, already started the second book in the series and I am very curious to see how this story goes on for 9(!) books - lots to look forward to!

I enjoyed the story buildingfrom the beginning, it was really slowly starting to get to you, to want to read more. Although, the characters seem to stay a bit superficial in that book - but who knows maybe there will come more depth in the next book. Recommended read!

Nice Start to a High Fantasy Epic

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 31. August 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

The Rise of the Ranger is the first part of 9 Books. It introduces the reader to the World of Verda and some main Protagonists. The Namegiver to the title is Asher, a ranger with a secret. The story starts focused on him and slowly widens the arc to more Point of Views, even some evil ones. The writing is easy to get into, the story draws the reader into it and the POVs are very likable. Personally i only did not like the end fight of book 1. As other reviewers have written. Asher is overpowered a lot in the first book. The Book ends with i thought "Matrix-Style" Fighting. I had to lay it down after that. Gladly i took up book two sometimes later. There the reader learns a lot more about how some figures came to be so overly powerfull and Asher will become a lot less powerfull from the start. All in all a nice start to a long high fantasy adventure.

Keep it coming. Already looking forward to the next installement!!!

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 4. Februar 2022

Concept/world-building – 5 (great Ideas)
Plot - 3
Character – 4
Characterprogression - 3
Dialogue – 2 (a lot of mutual self-adulation)
Prose – 5
Conflict/resolution – 3
Overall rating 3,57 = 4
Wouldn't say its the best saga, but definitly ok. The whole Saga are 9 books with 3 Storys.
First 3 Books would get 5* and are definitly reccomended(a bit long fighting scenes, but its cool)
Second 3 books get 4+*, cause it's good, the chars are really cool and interesting.
Third 3 books get 2* cause i dont like them :=) After i read book 6, i got a feeling how it would end, than i switched to the end in 9 and was confirmed. Still read them, but...
Just read the first 6 books and lets pretend this is the end.

Skyrim with a blend of Star Wars and Batman

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 20. Februar 2024

Verifizierter Kauf

Rise of the Ranger has been sitting on my TBR for a while, I had planned to read it last year but wasn’t able to get to it, so I made it my mission to read it this year! Wow, what can I say about this other than that I have been missing out on some excellent writing and an amazingly well thought out story, I saved so many good lines from this story that just resonated with me on another level. The pacing of the story was nice as it had its well timed moments of slow down while it had several moments of intense nail-biting action. The story was all over the world of Verda with its 8 POV’s, as it takes you through the jungle, a magic academy, and many other places. It also has some unique characters and creatures like gorgons, hydras, imps, child eating mermen and of course DRAGONS!

With that said, if you’re a fan of The Bound and the Broken by Ryan Cahill, then this is right up your alley. It’s got that same Tolkien-like lore of classic adventure fantasy but told in a new age way that makes it that much more exciting and easy to read. This is gonna sound a bit weird with how I’m going to describe this, but while reading this I had a few things come to mind of what this reminds me of. It’s Skyrim with a blend of Star Wars and Batman. Yes, you read that right. No there aren’t “laser swords” and no caped crusader, but the characters and a few of the orders have a very distinct feel to them. There’s a sith, Ra’s al Ghul’s league of assassins like feel to several characters but also a little Jedi/Bruce Wayne, not to mention a little daredevil action as well. I couldn’t shake these feelings and they only grew as the story went on, and it made me invest even more into the story, whether it’s right or wrong.

“It shocked him to find that he didn’t fear death, but instead feared the unremarkable life he left behind him. With no children to take pride in and no great love to mourn him, the ranger would leave nothing but a trail of bodies to speak for his life.”

With a book sitting at 554 pages and having 8 POV’s, you’d think you might have an issue connecting with any of the characters, but you’d be incredibly mistaken. Asher is easily the favorite, mainly because he’s the main character of the eight pov’s. There is a lot about him that I just really liked and the more the story unfolded, the more intrigued Inwas by him. One that kept growing on me the most though was Gideon, I wasn’t too sure about him at first, but as his story went on, I just couldn’t help but look forward to seeing him again. The others I liked, but those two really stood out to me the most, though I do sense another one will be growing more on me as well with how this story tragically ended. On top of the protagonists of the story, the antagonist stays a bit mysterious throughout, but Quaintrell did such a good job of really making me not like the guy that I can’t wait to see his demise.

The only part that really threw me off my game while reading this was the whispersync version of this. The narration by Steven Brand, who also does every Anthony Ryan novel did a phenomenal job. The issue comes at part 3 of the story, which is around the 60% mark. The whispersync gets off somehow and doesn’t keep up with the audio so it’s basically highlighting a page behind where the audio is, so I had to switch to audio only at that point. I’m told by the author that they’ve tried to fix the issue before to no avail, and the issue is not in the other books. So at least on this one, I would recommend doing the audio only or reading it… or do I like I did and do whispersync up until it does this and switch to audio. I’m not taking away on my grade because of post production issues on the audio, because it didn’t hurt anything and I was still able to stay engaged.

What a book to kick off a fantasy series! Epic!

This is actually my second read through of Rise of the Ranger and once again I was drawn into Verda. The characters are like old friends now, Asher, Nathaniel, Gideon, Reyna, Faylen. Full of magic and intrigue - it really is a special book, one that inspired my own writings. Honestly love this book and the series. It's everything anyone could hope to have in a fantasy - dragons, elves, mythical creatures, knights and assassins and so much more! don't hesitate - get reading!

I started reading your Echoes Saga on May 20th of this year. I finished book 7 on June 15th. I very very seldom give 5 stars out of 5 for books, but this series had me riveted, like i have not been for a long long time (so when is book 8 done). Wow, not since the Dragonlance Series and Raymond E Feist's Riftwar Saga, have i been so riveted. ( your are writing no 8 right). I love your writing style, the sly humour, the heroes and the villains .. each of them are uniques, so unique, (book 8 nearly done?) - i like villains and their personalities, i like seeing deeper into their souls, (started book 9 yet) and i just so - ok i have used the work ' love' to much, oh, no, i have not .. so i LOVE the twists and turns of the woven stories, like a never ending fabric, spun around the worlds. Oh and the maps, i get lost there, imagining what it all looks like before i read and then .. it all falls into place. So when does no 8 and 9 come out?
