Supposedly, nature abhors a vacuum. I'm finding this is true in the worst way...

Defeating Samir hasn't exactly been the reprieve from trouble that Jade hoped for. When Alek's mentor shows up with an injured Justice and government agents start asking questions she doesn't want to answer, Jade's problems are just beginning. Enemies new and old make their moves as a war looms on the horizon in this exciting ninth book in the Twenty-Sided Sorceress series.

I like this series but am giving it up.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is book 9. I think it should have been maybe book 4. They are unique and I love all the characters but they are just so dreadfully SHORT, as in novella size but not priced that way.

I would prefer the author condense her books into trilogies , as in book 1-8 could easily have been The Samir Trilogy. This book could begin The First or The Circle of 9 Trilogy.

Another option, is expand each book to flesh out other character arcs. There are SO many with much potential. With the shifters, the fey, her ghosts and origin story (we still don't know much about why she is what she is), her neighbors, etc.

Instead it just felt like a long short story focused on Jade vs another evil sorcerer. We get no closure on how he did the things he did, or what those items do that were introduced in chapter TWO. Nada. That's irritating and a bit disappointing. Why? So we will spend another 5 bucks to get another 2 hr read of Jade fighting and 2 snippets of information about these new things? And I was expecting some information about Jade's new ability. (No spoiler), but yea..it's barely mentioned and was a BIG deal in the later books.

So. Yea. I'm done. Good Luck Jade.

Great series keeps going!

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2018

When Jade defeated her nemesis, ex-boyfriend and hugely powerful sorcerer Samir, I thought the series had reached its climax and ended. After all, Samir's dried-out heart was now a little ruby in a pendant that Jade wore all the time.
I was delighted to find it hadn't. It hasn't lost steam, either, with difficult and gory problems and Jade still needing to protect her town, her friends, and herself from evil magical people.
While this book ends on a satisfying note, it leaves enough open threads to carry us to the next book. Which I eagerly anticipate.
I see other reviewers complaining the new book is too short. It seems to me they're all about the same length, give or take. Maybe it's something to do with plot complexity - or they just didn't want it to end!

After a long break, Jade is back

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018

It was one year, seven months and ten days between the release of Dungeon Crawl (Book 8) and this latest chapter in the Twenty-Sided Sorceress series. For fans of Jade Crow and her friends, that's almost an eternity but it was well worth the wait.

Someone is killing shifters in Wylde and the remnants of the Council are stirring up trouble for Jade, Alek and Harper. Three of Jade's allies are away, so Jade must rely on her own skills and those of her friends to deal with another powerful adversary.

As always, Ms. Bellet's "legendary" skills at scripting the action and creating the setting add to the well-crafted characters.

I am looking forward to the release of Book 10.

(Note: This is the ninth book in the series and readers will get more from the story if they read or have read the preceding books. If you haven't yet read them, I can promise a real treat for fans of urban fantasy.)

Weaker and shorter than prior books but still A.B. rocks!

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

Book seems shallower less complex, and just not up to normal standards. I would even suspect ghostwriting if the 'cisco's didn't convince me it was really her. This book is far inferior to all books prior to dungeon crawl, but D.C.and this book have really shown a significant and obvious decrease in her normal depth and complexity of writing. I remain an avid fan, and strongly he that her attention to this series will return to her previous spellbinding storytelling. Not a recommended book, as it does not add anything to the universe, nor advance any further directions - like digging into the council, more info on her Dragon heritage, etc. PLEASE, Ms. Bellet, get rid of the relative who is ghostwriting, and Bring BACK OUR 20 SIDED SORCERESS!!

This is a excerpt masquerading as a novel.

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

First the positive: As a teller of captivating tales, Bellet is quite good.
Now the rest of the review: If you want a complete story in a single volume, she will disappoint. I was astonished when the story abruptly ended after resolving only one of six major story threads opened in the excerpt masquerading as a novel. If this was a serialized periodical with new volumes coming out monthly or even quarterly, leaving so many hanging threads would be acceptable.
Conclusions: Considering the cost and length of time between publications, I cannot recommend this series to anyone. Perhaps Bellet will realize that she forgot to finish the story and provide the conclusion at no additional cost.

Action sequences and strong supernatural abilities...

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

4.5 Stars... Jade and her friends are battling two nemeses simultaneously... One focused on saving his "love" through nefarious means and the ability to manipulate the mind, and the other too detached from reality to understand the extent of his actions... With loss coming from all directions and her family and friends in grave peril, Jade must choose to focus on who she can battle today and save the war for tomorrow... Action sequences permeate this read and strong supernatural abilities come into play as these characters take on their most dangerous enemies yet:)

Another good addition

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2018

Another excellent book in the series. From the beginning, I loved the gamer references and I still do. Brings me back to my college days long ago playing D&D old style with pen and paper and 20-sided dice. The continuity of the story arc is good, and we still have more things to look forward to. No story is interesting without fleshed-out characters that you care about, and Bellet does a good job here, particularly with our heroine. She is a nice mess of snark, goofiness, cheesy pop culture references, and humor. I look forward to the next in the series.

No Rest For The Tired And Weary?

I’m already a fan of Annie’s writing style, loving the way she weaves her plot threads, taking us into one breathtaking situation after another. The characters she creates are just as captivating, I never have any problems believing their motives and actions.

The books in the Twenty-Sided Sorceress series need to be read in order to understand the characters’ motivations and previous plotlines. River Of No Return is the 9th audiobook in the series and picks up almost a year after the events in the previous story.

Hollie Jackson is one of my favourite narrators.
Hollie has taken over the narration for the final few audiobooks in this series. I love the pace that she reads, the emotions she portrays during the various scenes and the voices she gives the characters. Hollie captured Jade’s personality to a tee and led us into each battle of this adventure.

The main series threat to our protagonist, Jade, was dealt with in book 6.
Therefore, the focus of the series has changed somewhat. Danger is still around every corner and Jade and her friends are trying to deal with each threat as it arrives. Annie is excellent at building tension and writing dynamic fight scenes. However, I also enjoyed the softer, emotional scenes in this story, especially those between Jade and her bestie Harper or Jade and super-hot shifter boyfriend Alek.

River Of No Return had it all.
I can’t wait to listen to the final audiobook in the series to find out how Annie will tie up the remaining threads.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2020

River of No Return by Annie Bellet a five-star read that there is no return from. This is number nine in the Twenty Sided sorceress series and I would wholly recommend that you read them in order as Jade Crow has a power that sustains her over every novel of this series, I had held out reading this one until I had number ten in my hands. This series has been up and down with the emotional rollercoaster it will take you on, as Jade battles so much her nemesis as well as it seems herself at times. The thing is its not just Jade that makes this story, its all the others that play their part, they each tell a part of the story and create another level to the web that is weaved in this series. I am glad I left it until I had number ten as I don’t think I would have been able to wait to see what happens next, this is reaching an epic conclusion and I cant wait to see where this will go next.

Whilst Samir is gone the chaos continues and somehow I am not all that upset as it is tying together some of the loose ends that was left after the last book but unless you ready to read 10 as well you may want to take a chance as there is one hell of a cliffhanger on this one! It also seems very forced at times yet ties together some really large about time moments! I love how everyone has grown and changed but also how some are lost but not forgotten.
