The Gauntlet Thrown (Gauntlet Trilogy, #1) by Cheryl Dyson

Also, being a fan of big c First of all can I say I love all the ys? Also, being a fan of big casts of characters, this story was a dream. The characters just kept pilling up. Oh this book is amazing! Oct 01, Pauline rated it liked it Shelves: Quite a fun ride--very much a questing novel since the entire book was one giant quest.

I loved the interaction between Brydon and Toryn. It really reminded me of the friendship between Legolas and Gimli from Lord of the Rings. They both started out at enemies and held a strong dislike for each other, but through their travels become close friends. Their squabbles never failed to bring a smile to my face.

Nov 14, Janina rated it really liked it. I think it could easily be published with just minor editing into developing some parts more slowly. But, then I usually love the world building element most in fantasy novels and don't mind it taking up a lot of space. This has a wonderful world needs a map though and lots of action.

I'll definitely read the next one as well! Aug 24, Melissa rated it it was amazing. I am so excited that I am done! That was over 1, pages of amazing reading. I enjoyed being with the characters and the just being in their setting of time and landscape.

The landscape is very realistic, very believable. The characters are just as believable, however, some of the characters can use a little toughing up. Other than that, the book was amazingly fun, and I enjoyed the plot. I am very interested in how the series will continue, and how our heroes will save their kingdoms.

I liked the medieval setting and politics of kings, queens, and tribes. I liked the betrayals and secrets and quests and slavery. I liked the mental magic and training and facing Reed.

I did not like that every female character was objectified. She either flirted and threw herself at Toryn about 6 of them , was caught half-naked in a stream two or three , was a whore or sex slave or raped or nearly raped about seven , o almost a great book I really liked the friendship between Toryn and Brydon. She either flirted and threw herself at Toryn about 6 of them , was caught half-naked in a stream two or three , was a whore or sex slave or raped or nearly raped about seven , or was mentioned in passing as the guy pov character thought about how much he wanted to bed her about another 6.

I think there was one serving girl in one scene who didn't fall into these categories. Many of the poor females fell in multiple categories. Are none of the males able to see a woman and think about something other than her sexy hair and how much he wants to sleep with her? There were other little things that bothered me the consistent bad placement of commas and occasional typos included , but they are minor. I liked that the good guys had to work hard for what they accomplished, that they were often in danger and injured, and that they had to fight natural elements avalanche!

So, this could have been a new favorite of mine, but it is not. Jul 24, Cori Thomas rated it liked it. An epic fantisy that follows a few tropes with well developed characters.

THE GAUNTLET THROWN (Book 1 of the Gauntlet Trilogy)

One of these days, the fair maiden is not going to have his best interests at heart. Where Garyn also had very solid morals and a healthy sense of right and wrong, Sellaris most definitely did not. GARYN - A turncoat from the band who stole the gauntlet, he befriended Toryn and now seeks to atone for his former deeds. I started writing this series in high school and despite multiple revisions, the main plotline never changed, nor did most of the original primary characters. There are stories of magical beings, but most are considered to be helpful or at least harmless.

I liked Brydon as a character, but he really needs to toughen up; all it takes to distract him is an attractive female face. Every time a pretty woman was in his orbit, he became noticeably dumber.

One of these days, the fair maiden is not going to have his best interests at heart. Oh wait, that already happened. I loved that the friendship that blossomed between Brydon and Toryn ended up being the best-written and most fulfilling relationship in this book.

Jul 16, Alex rated it it was amazing Shelves: For a free book, this was amazing!! I love the original plot, it was a great idea and written very well. The world is built well, and the characters are real and relatable. You will easily fall in love with the characters and their relationships as they develop and build. And I must say, the amount of good character development through out the book and how they change based on their experiences is off the charts.

The story very well written though, and it kept me captivated.

While it took me for For a free book, this was amazing!! While it took me forever to read this book it's pages due to being very busy, when I got a chance to read, I hated having to put the book down to get back to work. In fact, I actually had a chance to read for a bit before I had to do other things, but I ended up just finishing the book.

All in all, I give this five stars, and I will definitely be reading the next two books in the trilogy Aug 21, Kane rated it it was amazing. I had gotten this book a while back but never read it and was kept as a backup if I run out of anything else to read. It just so happened that the series I was on finished and I just picked this book up without looking for a new series. From the first few pages, I was hooked.

The writers' style was simple and kept it interesting. I couldn't put the book down. It was light, humorous with adventure that kept you reading. Can't wait for the next one. Jul 27, Deborah Brennan rated it really liked it. I am a book addict.

I grabbed this title on a free book search with my nook, and it sat there, quiet and unread for quite a while. I laughed, I worried I became friends with the characters It isn't earth-shatteringly great, but it is for sure a keeper. Aug 10, Jay Whiteford rated it really liked it. This book is outstanding. A rich plot with a couple subplots are effectively developed, clearly leading the reader through an intricate story line.

Characters are rich and vibrant. And the relationships built between the characters are fascinating. This is a quest through many lands with varying terrains. The only drawbavk to this book is weak scene descriptions. May 16, Tina rated it liked it. The entire story was Amazimg but there was zero ending. I felt jipped by not receiving any type of conclusion in the end. Would have given a greater score if the author gave me anything to smile about at the end of the book. Feb 27, Deborah Lewitt rated it really liked it Shelves: I don't usually enjoy books all about the journey and the cultures but this one blew me away.

I really cared about every character. Apr 12, Amber Campbell rated it really liked it. Overall a good story. The characters were deep, well thought out and the authors definitely created people the readers could care about. My only issue were the editing errors. Words were hyphenated and then the rest of the sentence was missing.

Sentences were rewritten but the old words or incorrect words were not removed. That is the reason i did not give this 5 stars. Aug 03, Joslins rated it really liked it. While kind of long and drawn out in some places, this was over all a good book that kept my interest and in some places was a real page turner. The only turn off was the book's length and the fact that the story didn't end with the end of the book and now I have to wait for the sequel to get released, if it ever does.

Dec 31, Alvin rated it really liked it. It was actually quite good, All characters had their own personalities, character development was well done.

ALYN - A horse-obsessed woman kidnapped from her homeland, she is now embroiled in a conflict with people who once meant nothing to her, but for whom she now feels loyalty towards and, quite possibly, even some affection.

Davin has abilities beyond even his knowledge. Will they be his salvation or lead to his ultimate destruction? Though restored to her throne, she knows her kingdom will not be safe until the Dark Master is defeated. She was responsible for removing the gauntlet from Ven-Kerrick and now works with the Dark Master to bring about the destruction of the northern kingdoms. He seems to have little will of his own and is content to follow his sister from place to place and scam to scam. GARYN - A turncoat from the band who stole the gauntlet, he befriended Toryn and now seeks to atone for his former deeds.

His powers rival Brydon's and he seems willing to train Brydon in their use--but at what price? She was ordered to guide Toryn to the sea, whereupon he abandoned her and earned her eternal wrath. He once thought to marry Daryna, until she rode away with a despised man from the north. He seeks power over all of Thalarii and, eventually, the northern kingdoms, as well.

Brydon's quest for the Gauntlet of Ven-Kerrick continues as the mysterious Dark Master sends him on an unexpected journey that will take him through ruined cities and forgotten castles. On the way, he gathers new friends and new enemies, but will time run out before he can save his former companions?
