The Summoner
The Summoner: Book One in the Chronicles of the Necromancer | Gail Z. Martin
8 posts | 10 read | 16 to read
The comfortable world of Martris Drayke, second son of King Bricen of Margolan, is shattered when his older half-brother, Jared, and Jareds dark mage, Foor Arontala, kill the king and seize the throne. Tris is the only surviving member of the royal family aside from Jared the traitor. Tris flees with three friends: Soterius, captain of the guard; Carroway, the courts master bard; and Harrtuck, a member of the royal guard. Tris harbors a deep secret. In a land where spirits walk openly and influence the affairs of the living, he suspects he may be the mage heir to the power of his grandmother, Bava Kaa, once the greatest sorceress of her age. Such magic would make Tris a Summoner, the rarest of magic gifts, capable of arbitrating between the living and the dead.

I'm obsessed with Ghosts, and obviously necromancers.

I like stories where characters need to learn their gifts, right a wrong (or many wrongs), and build friendships.

Fantastic! 👍

Gonna try and get some more reading done for The Summoner tonight. For some reason it‘s not catching my attention but I‘m already half way through. Hopefully it picks up soon or something.

JazzFeathers I read Gail Martin many years ago, the first novel of a different series, but although the book was a chunkster, it never found its way to my heart. 6y
Sweetkokoro @JazzFeathers This is my first time reading anything by Gail Martin, and it‘s frustrating that I am half way through this book and it still hasn‘t done anything to capture me. Which ultimately will put me on the fence when I start the rest for the series (since I already own them granted I ever finish this one haha) 6y

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @Sweetkokoro did you like it? Found these at my library today 5y
Sweetkokoro @BookHoarder32 sadly I still have not finished reading it as it has bored so much. I‘m actually aiming to finish it this month but right now it‘s just really boring for me. 5y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Awe 😔 sorry to hear that. I saw on goodreads that they were faecrate's favorite fantasy series so I thought I'd give it a try 5y
Sweetkokoro @BookHoarder32 I‘m not sure what faecrate is lol. But I have only met one other person who liked it, a lot of others I talked to found it rather boring. I‘m going to read the whole set since my sister gifted them to me, but it‘s going to be a slow read. 5y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Faecrate is a book box subscription company (like owlcrate, fairyloot, etc.) - I follow a bunch on goodreads. 5y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Fantasy books seem to be hit or miss, it seems 5y
Sweetkokoro @BookHoarder32 ah okay, I was thinking it was something along those lines, I noticed those subscription boxes focus heavily on YA Fantasy and the adult fantasy they pick are usually subpar, which is sad. 5y

A small #TBR pile only because I don‘t like to overwhelm myself (but I have many more on my shelf that need to be read) I have already started The Summoner, I‘m about half way through it, and then I can work on the others. If I‘m correct I‘m only missing book 4 of the set so hopefully these will hold me over till I can buy the 4th one.

Takin a break from Howard Pyle‘s Arthur, to start one of the many books on my #tbr shelf. So far I am intrigued and entertained.

Tried numerous times to get this posted last night but all I kept getting was errors, did anyone else have this issue?

Reading on the deck as the sun sets. In denial about having to go back to work tomorrow and not having another break until my birthday. It's gonna be a long four weeks.

It's #funfridayphoto time! I am awful at sticking to TBRs, and my shelves are (mostly) organized by genre with read and unread all mixed together. So here's a shot of three of my shelves that definitely have many unread books I'll be tackling in 2017!

SuperPunkNinja That's just beautiful to me! 7y
annkuch13 @McShelfington It's my happy place! 7y
