I haven't written a review for a book before. Never felt the need, until now.I started reading Michael's work a few years ago, after searching constantly for something new and refreshingin the fantasy/fiction genre. I've been through all the major authors, and honestly I can say without a doubt thatMichael Manning stands among them. I'm not going to gush more over it, I just wanted to tell the author, though I doubt he'llever see this, that he has a gift, and has found his true calling.Now, as for this book. It actually gave me nightmares the night I finished it. I don't blame the author, I applaud him.He created a very gritty, dark tale. An authors true job, when you boil it down, is to create emotion in the reader, andhe did that. My heart was pounding at a few points.This is without a doubt the darkest of the books, as any reader of his previous books new it would be. Like watching Titanic, you knowhow it's going to generally go. But the devil is in the details. And it was honestly worse than I could have imagined. It was a kick in theemotional nuts.Michael, your books don't always make me feel good. To be honest, sometimes they make me feel like hell. But they make me feel.Thank you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A brilliantly written culmination to the trilogy that shows the dark twisted beginnings of the Mageborn universe. *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017* "Betrayer's Bane" is brilliant. It became a routine experience to put the book down so I could alternatively laugh, cry, yell, curse the day the author was born, or at times merge two or three of those reactions into one explosive emotional outburst. Let me warn you that there was significantly more yelling, crying, and cursing than laughter in this one. The author's ability to world build, and to show me the depth and inner turmoil of his characters has captivated me since my first exposure to his work in "The Blacksmith's Son". I would not know the difference between a dangling participle and a past-possessive pronoun if they bit me in the arse. But I know what I like, and Michael G. Manning creates stories that allow me to escape from reality for a while and plunge myself into another place every time I open one of his works. This book is the culmination of a trilogy exploring events that other books in the author's universe refer to as ancient history. That in itself is a challenge because every reader of Michael's other books KNOWS how this story ends. Or at least we thought we did. We were wrong. Horribly, tragically wrong. Everyone loves sausage, but you really do not want to know how it is made. This trilogy is the epitome of that sentiment. What depths of sorrow, anger, commitment, or/and depravity would each of us reach as human beings if we were plucked from our comfortable kindle-using existence and plunged into an extinction scenario? You will find yourself doing some pretty uncomfortable self-analysis during the short breaks you take from reading this one. The author's writing style has kept me entertained and craving more ever since I came across his first book "The Blacksmith's Son". This book, "Betrayer's Bane", makes me want to gift Mr. Manning with a case of the bottled craft beer that he loves the most. I want to look him in the eye and see the joy he has in emptying that first bottle to the last drop. Then I want to dash the empty bottle across his skull and "wash, rinse and repeat" until the case of beer is gone. I wish Michael G. Manning no permanent harm, but that sick twisted craft beer scenario is essentially what he did to my psyche with this book. I can give to you review readers no higher praise, or more grave a warning than that. Thank you Sir, for another 5 star gem of a novel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the love of Bread and Butter *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2017* Thank you Michael for another fantastic novel. Congrats on completing another series!I can't commend you enough on your ability to connect your characters to the hearts of your readers. I love the genuity of your world, the brutal truths, the unexpected subterfuge, the irrevocable love, the powerful hatred, the ever-intriguing fantasy-science, and best of all, the sarcastic quips and the tiniest interactions that are just so human.If I had to use one word to describe it all, it'd be just that, human. Your relationships are imperfect and raw, yet honest and strong. Your characters are flawed, emotional and vulnerable. You've captured the violent, sexual and sadistic sides of humanity and in a genre fuelled by the surreal; it just couldn't feel more real.To be capable of redeeming characters like Thillmarius and ultimately Tyrion to the point where one can feel true empathy for their dispositions is nothing short of miracle work. And yet you managed it so perfectly. As an added bonus you rekindled my love for bread and butter (Then simultaneously destroyed it again -_-)I've never been left with so many 'What if?'s after ready a book, you've truly broken my heart. But I'll just have to take Tyrion's advice on that regard and focus on what happens from here on; the next book! We want more! 5 Stars for your efforts sir! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/103368819-betrayers-bane-book-3-embers-of-illeniel-paperback-december-30](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/103368819-betrayers-bane-book-3-embers-of-illeniel-paperback-december-30) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
