Viridian Gate Online: Darkling Siege

Where to start? I LOVE this story, plain and simple. Its a truly captivating, original tale that takes you on a gigantic emotional roller coaster. I havent read any of the side stories. Just the main 7 (so far) books. There are only 2 draw backs I can think of. 1.) J. Hunter repeatedly uses the same words and terminology to describe actions and events throughout all the of the books. To the point that I almost had it memorized. (Like when he describes Jack using Umbra Bog/Bolt, conjuring Devil, or calling on a night cyclone and so on). Not a major turn off, and I get that after 7 books describing the same things in different ways is not easy but a little variation would be nice. I found my self skipping over the repetitive parts. 2) When will it end? To me, the best part about starting a story is getting to the ENDING. Darkling Siege would have been an Epic ending to an Epic book series. I dont even see how another entire book could even be written when so little story remains. What else is there left to do? I found myself disappointed at the end of the last chapter not because I finished the book, but because there was no ending, even though the finish line was in sight. I was excited for the end. Not because I was tired of the story, but because its the best part! Conflict, then resolution. Beginning, then the end. A story with no end is like life without death. It loses all of its meaning. I will always remember the VGO series as one of the best books Ive ever read, but I am ready for this story to end so I can get off of the roller coaster and get back in line to begin reading and enjoying the story all over again. If there isnt an 8th and FINAL book, it would be a tragedy. Mostly because who ends a story like that, but if it keeps going I personally am going to settle for my own ending and jump ship. Either way J. Hunter, thank you for an incredible story.

I\’m ready to see what\’s beyond that door. How about you? If you\’ve read the Viridian Gates series and have not read this book, then what\’s stopping you? Crack it open and submerge yourself into the world of Eldgard. New reader? Trust me and give this series a chance. You will not regret it. The stories keep getting better a long the way. After reading this book, James Hunter has to have a whole lot of more adventures and books to follow up this phenomenal tale. Well, James Hunter, I\’m hooked and ready for many more books to continue onwards with. Think you have another 7 or more in the chamber?

This series never disappoints. We are getting to the end, it seems, and the stakes have never been greater. James Hunter is one heck of a writer, and he consistently writes some of the best action scenes I\’ve ever read. I had a great time reading this one, and I\’m dying to read book 8!

Phenomenal addition to the series. I did do alot of skipping here and there with rehashed backstory put all over the book but there was still alot of meat on the bone for me to chew on. Nice plot adders and flavor expanded on. Ready to bring it home and finish the series! Can\’t wait for the finale

Once everything is called \”unnatural\”, isn\’t really just natural? Most of the books have been good, but the writing has gotten worse and the sequence of events was painfully obvious. There were a couple spots where you knew what was coming and I didn\’t want to read \”unholy\” or \”unnatural\” again so I just skipped paragraphs to get on with it.
