About the author

MICHAEL WISEHART graduated with honors in Business Accounting, but instead of pursuing this field, he returned to school to study film. He spent the next several years honing his visual craft, which he put to good use as he took what he’d learned behind the camera and applied it to the written word.
On April 14, 2014, Michael opened his laptop and began typing what would become two multiple award-winning series: The Aldoran Chronicles, and Street Rats of Aramoor (both set within the same world, but twenty years apart). By the time his second book released, he had quit his day job, walking away from production altogether, to pursue his writing career.

Those things listed above would be enough, but there are other little things that made it worse. Every backwater village has an inn that is always completely full of people. Newsflash, people it rural farming communities work for a living. They don't have the money or the time to drink ale in smokey pubs all day.
In the middle of the ultimate fight scene, one of the main characters starts crying. Seriously? I've never fought a demon, but I would imagine adrenaline probably kicks in. That fight or flight response prevents the body from making tears in a situation like that. Those tears were right after the character just resolved to let everyone die to accomplish the mission.
There are others, but that's a sample. It wouldn't have taken much for a good editor to tighten up some of these things to make it a better book. As it is, I won't be reading the 3rd.
I've read a mega ton of fantasy series, with lots pace variation in them, some seem to go by too fast, some too slow. When it comes to the slow variety I feel like there's 2 main ways it goes wrong, nothings happening, or a ton of bs is happening. Wisehart has this seriously perfect slow pace, the defiler didn't jump out from behind a corner, and the plot didn't feel stretched out.
The balance between viewpoints is really awesome -It's comparable to how far flung characters can be in ASOIAF. -But where some series were originally intended to be a trilogy – then stretched, Wisehart has planned for the long haul with The Aldoran Chronicles.
Characters: I found myself liking Kira even more, her "we run these streets" speech & her interactions with the queen were particularly great. But where some characters just furthered an opinion I already held, like with Kira, my mind was changed with others. My favorite Easthaven council member was easily Orlyn in Book 1 & was surprised to find that at the end of this book it was Feoldor, lol. Another example would be Aiden's turn of character at the end of The White Tower –laughed out loud pretty good at him wanting to duel Ty to the death over Lyessa in Plague. I was also worried about Aryion loosing his memory, but with the flash backs felt better, because it seems like he won't be lost for too long. He's also still a bad ass, & that helped. I felt like I might've enjoyed his thread a little more with some comic relief accompanying him, but that might just be an influence of the amount of lighthearted fantasy I've been reading lately.
Plenty of people in reviews talked about how long it took to write this book, but the delay was professionally editing & re-releasing The White Tower. Doesn't it make sense Wisehart wanted to get Book 1 straightened out before writing the next 9 or however many this series runs? Not to mention, the prequel to The White Tower, The prequel/spin off series- Street Rats, and the Aramoor Market all happened in between! How many other fantasy authors can you name who put out 5 books of a similar caliber in 3 years? It's not a long list.
Bottom line, this series is a must read!

I discovered Michael Wisehart when I was scrolling through available books for another author and his books were listed as a 'sponsored. I am now a huge fan. I had previously read the first book, The White Tower as well as the two Street Rats of Aramoor novels and had been waiting, semi-patiently, for Plague of Shadows to be published. I was lucky enough to receive a review copy so I was able to read it before it was available. It was so good I also purchased it as soon as it was available. I also purchased the Street Rats of Aramoor from Audible to listen to when my husband and I did some traveling this summer. The narrator was excellent and my husband is now a big fan as well.
Its really important to read all the books, including the Street Rats of Aramoor so that you have a full understanding of the characters. And its a good idea to get the maps which have been so painstaking executed. Michael Wisehart pays enormous attention to detail and it shows.

The first book started slowly, and was a little confusing until I was familiar with the numerous characters.
By the end of the The White Tower I was anxious to get into the Plague of Shadows, and to follow the story developments of the various characters and their adventures in this fantasy land. The battle scenes are well written
and exciting, filled with magic, evil and devious people and horrifying creatures, these books should appeal to readers of Terry Brooks and Terry Goodkind fantasy novels.
