I've noticed a fair amount of authors have begun to do the direct publishing of audio works and I absolutely love it. As much as I want to pay for the books now it's not possible for me to do with a new family. But good sir I will gladly listen to a few commercials to make sure you are compensated until I can add your physical books to the dragons hoard me and the wife have gathered. I do believe I've listened to all the books you have put on this channel to date and you've earned a dedicated fan. In my opinion you are up there with some of my other favorites like David Webb and John Ringo. Keep it up please!
All good things must end😭 absolutely beautiful tale. Thank you so much. I hope we can get to observe jorans ascent as a wizard in some spinoff in the future. ☺️
All I have to say to you good sir is how dare you... you watch your mouth that 3 letter word is more offensive than all 4 letter words combined... ((END)) 😠
Just finished this saga after listening to portal wars saga and the wizardom sagas, I loved everything you put on this channel. All your work so far made me happy to listen to and cant wait to here more of your work. Awesome story writing. Thanks for another awesome story!!! Loved it!
I find that an anti-climactic battle is often very welcome when you’re invested in a series like this. At first I was left wanting, but it made sense, and I really appreciate it.
I have often wondered how Mozarts life would have been with that glorious music running around in his head all the time. I now wonder how your life goes with your fantastic worlds running in your mind at all times.
Another great book. I wish it didn't end thought. I need more books lol. Thank you for everything you have done to make this available to us. Can we look forward to another series soon? God bless and have a great week.
Probably not soon. It takes quite awhile to put an audiobook together. Joe is recording a clean version of The Lightning that I plan to post towards the end of March. After that it'll probably be late summer or fall before I have anything new. I will be getting some audio rights back in early 2024 so I'll have more to post then.
Thank u for sharing! Such a good & satisfying ending to this one. Tho I'm so sad I've finally finished all ur books on here. I'll be watching & waiting for more. & u have a wonderful narrator hope u never change. Thanks again, until the next one!!
I feel like I waited a year for this last book but it was only like 4 days I think. I love this book series I love the narrator and this series is just soo good thanks!!!!
Sadness hits hard when one of your series ends I've listened to the soul bound saga and portal wars to completion in about 1 week awesome universe you have created
Wait, this is the first series I've listen to. The side of the other ones I should have listened to first? Is there a good order in which to listen to them?
Ok now back to listen to Otto have to listen to that whole series again... You are my favorite writer by far. CAN'T WAIT TIL THE NEXT SERIES... Well AFTER OTTO AGAIN. THANK YOU
Excellent book. Definitely worth the wait. Kind of humorous how the vampire and the mage went out like little bitches lol for all their power they just dissolves into the ether. You could almost draw a parallel to reality with this. The most powerful people on this planet, whether it be presidents or dictators, in the end, well all return to the earth. Just like we will. So no matter how big and bad or how much we think we’ve accomplished in our life in the end, rich or poor, we all end up the same way. Thank you for posting this book. Absolutely wonderful. As I said, definitely worth the wait. I look forward to whatever new books that you post. God bless.
Well good sir. I have heard your entire collection of audio books. I must say it is impressive to say the least. I think i will start over with the portal wars as it was my first and frankly my favorite
Noice Bro! I like ur style, straight to the point, no prolonging blah, blah, u leave enough for the imagination. U Sir, r a true writer after my heart!
I think this guy learned magic way fater than otto but i dont think he will ever be as powerful also i really like how well you made the final fight between the wizard and the vampire it felt like a really great fight and i think the black bile magic increase was a great addition
I’ve become obsessed with your universe wether while I’m working or just at home smoking a joint i have one of your audio books in my ear non stop I’ve never been into these kind of books but you sir have caught my full attention
LoL, I've paying for audible for about 11 months now. Didn't realize it. I got 11 credits. They are going to purchase your books. I'm actually quite happy about it.
I just found this channel this week and I finished all of the Soul bound series by end. It's a amazing story with awesome characters. I hope you make a sequel series, with these characters.Thank you for the audio book.
In my opinion, the Portal Wars saga is by far the best of what James has available. Needless to say all of it is great! If you haven’t already started, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
I cannot wait til the next series, I'm really hoping this one will be entwined with its counterpart at some point. There were so many questions left unanswered, to many openings that weren't given light. I was gonna collect the "counter part" series first but starting with this one seems just as good an idea. Then I'll collect my favorite series. As always you spin a truly impressive story James.
Another outstanding series. Everything tied up neatly at the end.My only complaint would be that I wish Joren would have gotten stronger Perhaps he can train with Otto Shank for a while in the next Series.
I have come addicted to storyline I hope you carry on with this storyline I believe they could have more adventures before they settle down have have kids
Love your work good series and good writing wish nothing but the absolute best for you! The series ending in this book seemed a bit rushed hope its cause you got inspired to write something else just as well thank you for the listen
Thanks a lot bud for the awesome story as usual, you have a real talent sir. It would be a little helpful if you could make it so that we could go back to specific chapters, thanks again for all your hard work
I've became a subscriber to this channel immediately after the first book I've listened, this is the second series that I've listened and even if preferred the journey of Otto Shanks, I've enjoyed this series as well, can't wait to start a new one. You Sir. Are creating a universe with endless possibilities, and the idea of all of those different worlds out there waiting to be "discover" through your books give me the chills..excellent job.. But now after this second series, since I understand that this books are happening few hundreds years before Otto's story I'm wondering if there is an order to follow?
@@JamesEWisherbooks but didn't the Bishop said that she was on this planet for a bit more than 400 years since her master left to return to his home world? And in the Portal Saga the Arkain Lords disappeared more than a thousand years before Otto ? Anyway thanks for answering me and a HUGE thanks for the work you've done and for creating this channel!
A year on one world might not be the same as a year on another depending on their orbit. In the portal wars I think the Arcane Lords have been gone for 700 years. I could be wrong on that since I haven't read the books in a while. Glad you're enjoying the channel.
@James E Wisher True, but you filled that plot hole with beastmaster having the black iron empire for his own, well done, plus beastmaster is not an a**hole, like the vampire. He would happy teach Joran a few things for the right price, or just for fun. Plus, there's also the bad-ass that is Otto, Joran and him meeting up and working together would make for a powerhouse of a partnership.
Would it make you happy if it connects to several of his books? Because it does!!!! I believe saw a comment where the author said all the books are in the same universe.
@@meoff7602 yes it would, so far it seems that the world building is the same which I like, I really enjoy the world he’s created. Now I have to go back and re read some of the books so I can figure out the timeline.
Incredible story, 7/10 for me I didn't expect to be THIS invested into the story, what got me hooked was the concept of two people having 1/2 of a complete soul, it was intriguing and from that point on I watched and finished the series in the span of three weeks Really my only complaint was that I wish the love story between joran and Alexandria could've been a bit fleshed out more And that the final confrontation with the arch bishop, kasher and joran felt a bit underwhelming But overall I still onjoyed it, gonna play on listening to the other books next
Really enjoyed the series, finished all 5 books in under a week. How long until the next one starts? I’ll be going back to older ones in the mean time.
Unfortunately, it's going to be a little while before the next full length audiobook. They take a long time to write and get recorded. I do plan to release a pro version of The Lightning probably next month as well as another chapter of my motion comic sometime this summer.
@@JamesEWisherbooks I understand, these things take time. Shout out to the narrator, great voice. I’ll go back and listen to some of the other series, thanks 😊
Just got through the whole saga. I really enjoyed it, thanks James! Is there any of your books that you would recommend as the next one? I've been through both this and the portal wars. My personal preference was the portal wars thanks to its focus on building the magic of the world and even more the Mc being not entirely the best person to root for while still being likeable. Of course the Mc being as strong as Otto was also enjoyable. What should I go for?
I hope someone makes a video-games out of some of these series, as there are very little details not accounted for. Also was half expecting the epilog to be chapter one of the next book in thos series

It's interesting to think how dominant/powerful Otto from Portal Wars would be in some of these other worlds.
I long for crossover between the Divine Key, Portal Wars and Soul Bound saga.
Thank u for sharing! Such a good & satisfying ending to this one. Tho I'm so sad I've finally finished all ur books on here. I'll be watching & waiting for more. & u have a wonderful narrator hope u never change. Thanks again, until the next one!!
I can’t believe how good this and the portal wars saga were. On my way to the divine keys trilogy, keep up the good work!
Thanks.
Thank you for this series .. It's hard for me to read anymore so audiobooks and podcast are a large part of my entertainment ..
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

Excellent writing and series as always. Thank you!!

That's part of the fun of writing in an interconnected magical universe. Glad you're enjoying it.
I've listened to all the available books here several times. Absolutely love your work. I look forward to more amazing books.
Wait, this is the first series I've listen to. The side of the other ones I should have listened to first? Is there a good order in which to listen to them?

I raise my hat to you, Sir! Introducing a new major player into the story at this time was rather ingenious, and you executed it well.
Noice Bro!

U Sir, r a true writer after my heart!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the story.

What a fantastic book, this was a great conclusion to this Saga.
The battle of the vampire and overmage could be made into a theatrical movie clip!
Can't wait for the next series
❤loved this. I listened to these books 6:18:56 back to back. I'm going to start Portal wars saga next. ❤❤
In my opinion, the Portal Wars saga is by far the best of what James has available. Needless to say all of it is great! If you haven’t already started, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Many thanks again for the audiobooks ❤
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for this beautiful enriched story James❣️🤭 I loved it throughly ! You really are the best in my opinion !
That's very kind of you to say, Gail
I cannot wait til the next series, I'm really hoping this one will be entwined with its counterpart at some point. There were so many questions left unanswered, to many openings that weren't given light. I was gonna collect the "counter part" series first but starting with this one seems just as good an idea.

Another outstanding series. Everything tied up neatly at the end.My only complaint would be that I wish Joren would have gotten stronger Perhaps he can train with Otto Shank for a while in the next Series.
Thank you james i really liked the books listened to all of them i would like to see the soul forged series on youtube thanks again
I don't currently have the audio rights to the Soul Force Saga, so I can't post them. When they revert to me next year, I will definitely post them.
@@JamesEWisherbooks thank you i have the books myself it would just be nice to not have to read it but to listen to it
I have come addicted to storyline I hope you carry on with this storyline I believe they could have more adventures before they settle down have have kids
Danke!

Love your work good series and good writing wish nothing but the absolute best for you! The series ending in this book seemed a bit rushed hope its cause you got inspired to write something else just as well thank you for the listen
Enjoyed it another time.

Thank you 💖

Love your books mr wisher
Thanks, I appreciate that.
You are good at writing. God job.
Thanks, I do my best.
Another good tale thank you
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great series you can somewhat tell how much effort went into this
Glad you enjoyed it.
Beast master is my favorite character in the soul bound saga. His compassion for the three eye squirrel is sweet.
He was fun to write.
agreed. he wasnt really a bad guy - thats just the team he ended up on....
Really good story, but the gate near the end made me hope that some of the characters from the portal wars saga, would have came through

I am definitely looking forward to this book
Hope you enjoy it.
@@JamesEWisherbooks you better believe it
Each books cover art, has a hidden face in it. Like a magical 'where's Waldo'.
Thank you!!
You're welcome.
I loved this series too, Is this a world after The portal wars saga ??
This is a different world in the same universe.
Thank you👍
You're welcome.
I just want Joran to gather all the "stuff" left behind, especially the books, and continue gis journey as a wizard.
He might be in trouble if there's anything Beastmaster wants.

Great book and follow up from the portal series.
Can you add this book to goodreads?
It's on preorder on Amazon and I don't think it'll go up on Goodreads until it's live.
i love this man
She had that ready you know she’s been wanting to teach that for ages
Ugh so sad this is the last book🥹 this series has been awesome
Glad you liked it.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Last one what to listen to next
Incredible story,
7/10 for me
I didn't expect to be THIS invested into the story, what got me hooked was the concept of two people having 1/2 of a complete soul, it was intriguing and from that point on I watched and finished the series in the span of three weeks
Really my only complaint was that I wish the love story between joran and Alexandria could've been a bit fleshed out more
And that the final confrontation with the arch bishop, kasher and joran felt a bit underwhelming
But overall I still onjoyed it, gonna play on listening to the other books next
Thanks for the thoughtful review.
Really enjoyed the series, finished all 5 books in under a week. How long until the next one starts? I’ll be going back to older ones in the mean time.
Unfortunately, it's going to be a little while before the next full length audiobook. They take a long time to write and get recorded. I do plan to release a pro version of The Lightning probably next month as well as another chapter of my motion comic sometime this summer.
@@JamesEWisherbooks I understand, these things take time. Shout out to the narrator, great voice. I’ll go back and listen to some of the other series, thanks 😊
It would be lit asf if Joran met Lord Otto Shanks.
Just got through the whole saga. I really enjoyed it, thanks James! Is there any of your books that you would recommend as the next one? I've been through both this and the portal wars. My personal preference was the portal wars thanks to its focus on building the magic of the world and even more the Mc being not entirely the best person to root for while still being likeable. Of course the Mc being as strong as Otto was also enjoyable. What should I go for?
You'd probably enjoy the Divine Key Trilogy.
@@JamesEWisherbooks thanks for the recommendation. I'll get to it soon. Once again I appreciate the world you've built. It's pretty amazing.
I hope someone makes a video-games out of some of these series, as there are very little details not accounted for.
Also was half expecting the epilog to be chapter one of the next book in thos series
That would be very cool.
Play Dragon Age: Inquisition from 2014.
Well James, another series well done. Thank you for the great reads. Is there a series beyond this one?
Not set in this world. Next month I'll be posting the new book in the Rogue Star Sci-Fi series.
You’re awesome man
Thanks. : )
Excellence !!!!
It’s outtt!!!!
I feel this series may be related to The Portal Wars saga. Does this series take place before the Portal Wars saga?
It's on a different world in the same universe. The Arcane Lords visited it long ago.
