It is, however, much more accessible than The Fall of Neverdark, in my opinion. And in a similar style to The Fall of Neverdark, the first half of The Knights of Erador can be categorized as the calm before the storm. The story in The Knights of Erador starts 15 years after the end of Age of the King. Remember how The Fall of Neverdark, the fourth book in the series and also the first book in the second trilogy of the series, begins 15 years after the end of Relic of the Gods? Well, Quaintrell implemented a similar time jump here. Trust us, we’ve met enough tyrants to know they didn’t start out that way.” “Nobody is born evil… It festers and grows in the shadows, always hiding. But for now, I will say that I am happy and proud to call myself a Quaintrellians. Based on what I’ve read here, my instinct tells me the final two books in the series will be superior.

I can’t make any promises this statement will hold for a long time. It is the first installment in the final story arc of the nine-book series, and yes, this is the finest book in the series so far. The Knights of Erador, the seventh book in the series, marked the beginning of the end, and it managed to top Age of the King.

And, already, I have to take back my word.

Not even a month has passed since I claimed Age of the King, the sixth book in The Echoes Saga, as the best book of the series so far. The Knights of Erador is the best first installment in the three trilogies in The Echoes Saga.
