Summary
Elseerian, book one: The assassination of heroes was once a warning...for an invasion that nearly destroyed the world. Nations were slaughtered, cities were erased from existence, and defending armies were crushed into oblivion. With hundreds of thousands dead, the races stood on the verge of extinction. But the end did not come. Instead the black horde vanished, leaving terrified survivors in its wake. As the centuries passed, the holocaust faded into myth and legend. With the tale forgotten, the renewed signs go unheeded. Only a supreme warrior can stave off the inevitable, a warrior named Elseerian. For the killings have already begun....
The Gathering, book two: Born of darkness, the ultimate army has been unleashed. The only hope lies in destroying the source - before all life is extinguished. Fate has chosen Elseerian for the impossible feat, but as he embarks on the harrowing journey the invasion must be delayed. With time as their only weapon against extinction, the elves issue a desperate call...for every race to ally. Facing annihilation, many will realize that survival lies in unity, courage sleeps in ordinary citizens, and average people can turn the tide of war. The Gathering has begun.
Seven Days, book three: Forced to ally, the world has gathered against the endless night. Numbering over a million souls, they are the survivors of nations. They have armed themselves with weapons and magic and defend the strongest fortress ever built. Led by a supreme strategic mind, the races have organized into battalions, designed unique tactics, and fortified their position beyond any conceivable need. But now their foe is at their gates, and to a man they cling to the same hope - to survive until Elseerian can defeat the source. The best they can last is Seven Days....

amazing
Fantastic books and will listen again and again like you watch a favourite film. A breath of fresh air to have a narrator that doesn't grind on you. Derek Perkins should narrate more audio books.

Good fantasy adventure tale
Nice story arc, some compression and expansion would have worked.
Good world building, however could have provided more about the geography and was a little too compressed when it comes to exploring the cultures of the various species.
The guild system was hinted at but has a significant feel. Seemed like a ubiquitous construct with all cultures that needs to be destroyed.
Had a feel of completion at the end with scope for a sequel set 50 to 200 years in the future.
The main character was given an unfortunate voice. I can’t understand why he was made to speak so given his ethnic / species makeup. Strong, perhaps slightly gravely with a dose of uncertainty would have been right, not effeminate and weedy. Hopefully that was intended to reflect his relative age and physical maturation, still a child by dwarf and elf standards and should he appear again will have a deeper voice. It really grated. I do wonder if narrators and authors collaborate on these things.

Good story telling
I really enjoyed this book, the story is very well told. There are not really any unique aspects to this book eg different magic systems or insightful depths of character drawing but it is a very enjoyable listen. It is not the type of tale to go into detail with violence or gore although these are definitely implied since one of the main themes is war. The characters are sufficiently drawn and the relationship interplay is good.
If you like a good fantasy story without excessive violence or gore, but interesting characters and plot this may be for you.

Wow!
This series is literally out of this world! Brilliant from start to finish. Didn't want it to end. Having listened to all of Ben Hale's novels in the Lumineir series, See my review of the Master Thief novels as my review of that applies to all of Ben's novels. A brilliant author and very well narrated.

A new Master of Science Fantasy
I'm blown away by the imagination of Ben Hale who holds you captive throughout these first 3 books. I must admit I started at the wrong end of theses works in the present day White Mage series so I've had the extra pleasure of filling in the history that is present there (nothing is lost though, as the white Mage series hold it's own completely). I cant recommend these books enough!
