I really enjoyed this book which told Megan’s story. There’s heaps of action and it was a bit confusing at the beginning. The story has lots of mythical and magical elements, and a rich fantasy world. The characters were what really drew me into the story. The characters develop a lot throughout the story, and Megan’s journey especially is full of twists and turns.

In the third instalment of this tale, we see teenager Megan take on an insidious serial killer who targets wizards in a magic, mystery and murder mystery.

It seems like history is repeating itself , when a twist of fate force Megan and a newly adopted teen, a cocky athlete Tyson, it seems like history is repeating itself.

Conscripted into her second mystical quest involving enchanted swords of legend, Megan’s charged with keeping Tyson’s rebellious attitude under control long enough for them to reach their subterranean goal. But when an army of inhuman cultists and the machinations of a bloodthirsty, insidious serial killer of the wizards threaten them all, Megan comes into conflict with the fears that set her down this path to adventure.

Megan is forced to wonder, who is her real enemy, with these monsters at her heels, she is choosing between her yearning for deeper meaning and a better life and the powerful personalities around, that threaten to dominate her life.

Another wonderful read in the series, draws you in right from the beginning and the magic and mystery is enchanting. The characters jump out from the book, bringing the story to life, making this a wonderful adventure in every part of the book.
Really enjoyed reading this and would thoroughly recommend.

Have you gotten lost in a quest you are performing? Megan is going on a quest. This quest has action, danger, and magic. Megan also has Tyson on the ques with her. He is an arrogant athlete that Megan needs to support her in this quest. Will Megan and Tyson fulfill the quest? There are dangers and adventures in every moment of the story. You will have to read to see what happens to Megan on this quest she goes on. Alexander Charalambides does an amazing job creating this world in which his characters live in. This is a YA book but I found it engaging. More and more the authors for YA are understanding that the story can be for both young adults as well as adults alike. This book made me feel like I was on a quest with Megan and Tyson. I recommend that you go on the quest with Megan to see what happens in the magical world.

Golden Void (Black Blade Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides follows Megan, a minor character from the previous stories. I really enjoyed reading from her point of view as she once again gets caught up in a magical quest. The author is very detail oriented, so at times the story is a bit slow, however there is plenty of action and drama. With a serial killer Wizard on the loose and a cocky athlete to deal with, will Megan be able to help complete their quest or will she find herself among unlikely enemies? Although this book can be read as a standalone, I would suggest reading the previous ones first.

This is book 3 in the Black Blade series, although we see some of the same characters i would definitely say you could read it without the first 2. Such a good read.

Golden Void by Alexander Charalambides is the third novel in the Black Blade series and was a good read. I really wanted to like this book more than I did, however it wasn’t a bad novel! It just wasn’t my favorite. I’m not a huge fan of the stream of consciousness writing and I kept finding my mind drifting throughout when I was reading this novel. However the characters were great and it had a really good plot! I just couldn’t get into it as much as I wanted to. I do recommend reading the other books in the series first before reading this one.

This is an exciting and gripping read which had me hooked from page one. A great mix of magic, mystery and murder and full of drama this is a fast paced page turner. Newly adopted teenager Megan has been conscripted to take on an insidious serial killer who has been targeting wizards along with cocky and athletic Tyson. This feels like history repeating itself for Megan as this is her second quest with a magical twist and involving legendary enchanted swords. Battling with an “army of inhuman cultists and the machinations of a bloodthirsty, insidious serial killer of wizards”, Megan also has to keep Tyson’s attitude under control all whilst trying to reach their subterranean goal. Both Megan and Tyson must work together and face their fears, but soon Megan wonders who her real enemy is. This book took me on a great adventure along with Megan and Tyson who were both great characters. I was immersed in the supernatural world thanks to Charalambides great world building. I found this novel to be an exciting read and although it is book three in the ‘Black Blade’ series it can be read as a standalone story.

This is the third in the series. Megan gets her own story in this one. I enjoyed her in past stories so I was pleased she gets her time. It is easy to get lost among these pages. It is fast paced and the characters bring this story to life. Megan recently gets adopted thinking her life will be normal. She is in for a surprise and is taken upon a magical quest. We see some familiar secondary characters and others are new. But the question is who can Megan trust?

This is an intriguing YA story that can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend the other two if you want a fulfilling experience.

I was really excited when I found out the third book in the Black Blade Series from Alexander Charalambides would have Megan in it as the star of the show. We got to see glimpses of her in the past two books and I really enjoyed her character. I was very excited to get to see her shine in Golden Void. Megan has been newly adopted and also is taking on the task of the second quest. She will face magic, wizards, and more fabulous swords, as she finds her way to the end. Will she succeed or will she get lost in trying to figure out who she is rather than the quest. I loved this concept and that the magic and folklore that I enjoyed in the other two novels was present here once again. I will be interested to see who will shine in the next book!

Golden Void is the third book in Black Blade series by Alexander Charalambides. This Ya/Fantasy can be read as a stand alone,but I recommend you read the series in order because you will miss a lot of the backstory. They are all great books packed with action and adventure. Megan is finally settling in as an adopted teen when she is thrown into a quest. The characters in this series are amazing and the story flows from beginning to end. I really enjoy Mr. Charalambides work and look forward to reading more from him.

This is the 3rd book in the Black Blade series and this follows Megan.

Megan is a young girl who was adopted by Kendrick. When Megan follows Kendrick one night too make sure she comes to no harm she is entangled in the going on of magic one again and sent on another quest.

There is a killer on the loose and they are targeting the one who has the sword. Megan is sent on this quest with Tyson, who is a cocky athletic kid. Megan’s main job is to keep him and his attitude under control until they reach their destination. Also along this journey Megan is again left wondering who if anyone she can trust.

I really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. It contains a great deal of mystery as well as legend and murder. The author builds the character really well that you feel as if you are actually on the journey with them. It keeps you gripped and guessing from beginning to end.

I have to say Bravo for Megan! In Golden Void (Black Blade Book 3) by Alexander Charalambides Megan finally finds her voice. Its been quite the journey for Megan, finding her place in the world. Sometimes while reading these Black Blade books I’m not really sure what’s going on. The beauty of that is…. The characters don’t know either. But the characters are all well fleshed out, intriguing and totally believable, and the world building is superb. I loved the background on Kendrick in this book and hope there will be more to her story. Thanks for an interesting read.

Adopted Megan is enlisted with the help of arrogant teen and defiant Tyson but the bad guys are after them which thrust her into this adventure. Megan wonders who the real enemy is when she searches for meaning. This book is a great addition to a series of great action books. This is an easy read, original, entertaining and great world building for the reader to enjoy.

Golden Void by Alexander Charalambides a fantastic five-star read. This is number three in the Black Blade series and they can be read as stand-alone but honestly, I have enjoyed them all as they have recurring characters who build each of the stories. Megan has a great story and one that unfolds from the first chapter, as you follow her quest you get dragged deeper into the story. One that brings characters you don’t expect and twists that will keep you hooked. This is a young adult story that brings lots of different elements to it and doesn’t dumb it down like some young adult stories. All of the quests bring something different and this one just brings the extra.

Golden Void is the third book in the Black Blade series by Alexander Charalambides. It is a superb YA fantasy adventure with plenty of action, magic, wizards, drama, mystery, sinister agendas, and murder.
I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as knowing what has already happened and knowing the recurring characters, will enhance your reading experience of “Golden Void”.
Megan, who we have met previously, takes the reins in this story. Another quest and another mythical, mystical adventure.
Really enjoying this series.

Thank you, Alexander Charalambides!

Will Megan succeed in this second quest she has been put on the path of or will she struggle to know who to trust and who not too?

This is the third book in this series and I am so glad Megan got a book to herself, within the other stories she has played a vital role in the quests but now she gets to pursue the wizards, magic and swords. Being newly adopted she believes she is now going to have a normal life but when something happen and she has to take upon a magical quest regarding another mythical sword but history is repeating itself when she has to look after Tyson and try and calm his rebellion.

This like the other stories delves into the world of the mythical and magic and I love how the story draws you cleverly into the world with Megan and Tyson to try and discover what is going on. The story twists and turners and opens your mind to fantasy world of Mr Charalambides which is rich and full of imagination. I love the character of Megan through the other books she has a quiet inner strength which you see develop through the other two books but this shows her at her best which I love a strong female character and Megan certainly is.

If you have not read the other books in this series I don’t think that you lose anything from this story and it can be read as a stand alone book but I would recommend the other books just to get your fill of such a rich world.

We are taken on quite an adventure. This book gives us a unique take on excalibur and all that entails. There is action, magic, originality, and great characters. This is the first time I have read anything from this author and I’m glad I did because I enjoyed the way this book was written. You might be a little confused in the beginning but I promise you it does all come together and makes sense. The action started almost from the beginning and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I recommend this book, it was a fun read.

“When Fate Calls, Should You Answer?”
Excalibur, the legendary sword, “calls out across the ages for a worthy hand”, and a cynical American student Lance is the chosen one. Although cynical Lance recognises his own destiny and so accepts fate and Excalibur. The voice of Excalibur becomes louder as Lance travels into the supernatural world below the London he is familiar with. As Lance becomes involved in warring families alongside friend Megan, he must find the hero inside himself and discover whether, “he rules the sword, or does the sword rule him?”. This is an exciting and gripping read which had me hooked from page one. A great mix of legend, myth, the supernatural and drama it is a fast paced page turner.
Black Blade is a unique twist on the legend of Excalibur and I liked Lance’s character, the unlikely hero who here’s the sword calling to him. This book took me on a great adventure along with Lance and it is wonderfully written. I was immersed in the supernatural world below London thanks to Charalambides great world building. I found it was an exciting and fun read.
