The Void of Muirwood (Covenant of Muirwood, 3) Paperback – October 27, 2015

This book made me cry, smile, laugh, feel completely anxious, and even fearful. However, as good as it was, my favorite parts were the sayings at the beginning of each chapter. I wish that I had written them down so that I could savor them over and over. We'll done Jeff Wheeler.

Read the original trilogy, then this series. I loved the evolution of characters and their endings, though -spoilers, turn away if not finished!-I'd have hoped the villains would have satisfactory endings or last words.I'm a karmic justice sort of person, and I wasn't happy with their sudden ends. They also felt one-dimensional, I'd like villains to have sympathetic angles to them.At the least, we got heroes (and antihero) who did not-so-heroic things, which I quite liked the nuance. And adding to the historical real-world references like King Henry VIII, Glastonbury Abbey, etc. at the ending note was a nice touch. Also loved quotes referencing the Abrahamic faiths (as a Catholic), adult content kept very subtle.I'll be sure to check out the prequel series once its finished, but great work!

Jeff Wheeler is hands down one of the best fantasy authors out there right now. I put him right up there with my absolute favorites. That's of course one of the reasons why I keep buying his books before they even come out. It's rare to find a writer whose ability you trust enough to know without worry or doubt that you will enjoy enough to purchase them before you even see what it's about. I have done that with this author, and I have not been disappointed.For readers who aren't familiar with the writer or the series, this is the last book in a second Muirwood series and brings some of the original characters back into play in a new plot and timeline. The Muirwood books, maybe more than any of Wheeler's other books (for me anyway), bring together a blend of spirituality and magic that I just adore. This second series blended some of the more recent style of writing and incorporated it into the feel of the original books, which allowed it to have its own unique tone and plot while still bringing in the best aspects of the original series.What I absolutely loved about The Void of Muirwood is what I'm coming to love about all of Wheeler's series final books, which is his unique ability to wrap up all the loose ends and every tiny sub-plot thread that may have been hanging. I love that nothing is unimportant. Every facet gets the attention it deserves, and this gives the book a richness and depth that only the best writers achieve. If you love falling into a book and having to stay up until 4:00 in the morning the next day to read the whole thing, this is a winner. There's tons of action and tension in this book, lots of twist and turns, and plenty of subterfuge. If I had to be at all critical (and it's tough, but I like to find at least a little something), it's that there was so much conflict I actually started to feel upset for the characters having to go through it all. As if some of the bad guys were doing things for the mere sake of being jerks rather than to only follow their agenda. That being said, so much conflict also makes for excellent and realistic "bad guys" and some good surprises. I hate when I can predict everything that will happen, so I enjoy when I can be surprised.So this book gets a solid 5 stars from me. I would (and have) recommend it to friends who like this style, and will definitely continue to read everything Wheeler writes. It was bittersweet to see the end of another Muirwood series, since they are my favorite of all his stories, but hopefully if I follow him long enough he'll write more of them.

I truly enjoy every book I have read by Wheeler. He has some wonderful characters that make you feel that you are a part of the story. This book did not let me down.

Truly thrilled reading this tomeWould recommend it to all who have never forgotten how to be moved and enthralled by an adventureNever forgetting how a story touches us despite our actual ageAs Peter Pan said “never grow up” you will miss the magic

Nice read and very enjoyable. I really like this world and the Medium is so cool. Compared to the 'Wretched' series, it's just a little slow for me. Still very enjoyable and well written though.

If I was an author, this would be my goal. To create a world people flock to. A world they don't want to leave. A world of magic, love, controversy, thinking, beauty, relationships that count. Things of substance greater than jewels of stone.A world where we all know that we can learn from anyone, even our enemies.

I'm not sure when I was introduced to Jeff Wheeler`s writing but after reading the first book of the Kingfountain series I was a fan. I've now read almost all of his series , and decided to reread the Muirwood books. There is something about the way he describes his characters that I find riveting. Most of his protagonists are female which is really enjoyable and there is certainly enough action to keep me reading into the wee hours of the night. I also love the magic and fantasy that is woven through his stories. Maia is definitely one of my favorite characters. Something else that I have really enjoyed while reading through his other series, is how some of the more interesting characters pop up in other books. I've decided now to reread the Kingfountain series and others, as these books are wonderfully entertaining. Thanks, Jeff!

Brilliant!

Jeff wheeler has a talent for writing wholesome stories from the point of view of a young lady. This series has a healthy mix of adventure, exciting plot twists, and some romance.

The ultimate victory of compassion over hate and force. Well told and well worth recommending to younger readers of historical fantasy.

This book pulls the who story together. a worth read if you liked the first books. Jeff is one of my favorite writers.

I just can't drop the book, I have to finish it, just like the previous ones, this guy is a genious. Please more muirwood stories.
