A spell stolen from the gods begins one young woman’s journey beyond the end of time.

Five numbers. Five gods. Five spells for men and five for women. Five ages before the end.

Since history began, this knowledge has defined the world for Alaji’s people, who live along the shores of five holy lakes. But now an army has ridden out of the north led by a powerful and cunning warlord. This, Alaji is told, could mark the end of the last age. The end of men and of time itself.

Alaji has more to fear than invaders. She has learned the five spells of women. But she knows one more: a spell beyond those given to mortals. A spell that that gives her power over time.

To learn a spell of the gods is to challenge them. If discovered, the penalty is death. But harnessing such power may allow Alaji to save her family, or may start her on a journey ranging farther than they could have ever imagined.

A Count of Five is the first novel in a new series, The Citadel of the Last Gathering, exploring a fantasy world on a massive scale.

Heck of a way to start a series

A Count of Five is an incredibly compelling ya fantasy novel about time travel. Fantasy. Time travel. Novel. Do you need any more than that?
Well you're going to get more than that. I thought that A Count of Five was a fast and fun read. There are points where the book intentionally goes too fast, but they are just moments and always have some kind of context to ground yourself with. I personally loved that A Count of Five doesn't over explain or hand hold every little detail.
Being the first book in a series, a ton of stuff is introduced and explored, but just enough goes unanswered to make you want to read the next book, but still feel satisfied with the first book.
Can't wait for the second book to come out.

Talking about what's so good about A Count of Five is difficult without giving spoilers. The book revolves around a plot device that will be familiar to you, but where A Count of Five shines is in how fully and thoughtfully said plot device in integrated into the world and the stories. Snyder's writing constantly made me think, "Yeah, that's what would happen if this really existed." At the same time, the writing isn't so in love with this plot device that it focuses solely on it -- the characters are strong and believable, and the plotting is well-paced, with surprises that keep pulling you through the chapters without being overwrought.

A Really Fascinating Story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a well written page-turner involving magic and time travel. There are a lot of interesting themes to think about, as well as action. The characters are well drawn and both good and bad characters are realistic and engage the reader. The book itself is part of a series, so if you like it, there's a lot to look forward to.

Looking forward to Book 2

I really like the characters in this novel. They each have their own voice, and they're complex and relatable. The story moves along at a good pace. Time travel can be a tricky thing to explain...a lot of thought has to go into the mechanics and theories of it beforehand. It's clear Mr. Snyder put in that effort.

Absolutely amazing story!

Cannot wait for the next chapter. This story is amazing. I usually question time-travelling stories due to increasing complexity of issues most authors cannot avoid or resolve in reasonable manner, but this one is truly believable and well-written.

Grab this one ! best Sci fi Fantasy in a long time!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2015

a delightful blend of Mathematics combined with historical Anthropology, definitely blending sci fi with fantasy, but leaves me compelled to await anxiously the next installment..... like waiting and counting the days as the Lord of the Rings sets appeared with months waiting. Asimov but a delight to read!

Darn good fantasy, firmly in the genre but an original read.

A Count of Five (The Citadel of the Last Gathering, #1) by Erin L. Snyder

Alaji lives near the Holy Lakes. An army arrives with a very powerful warlord, she is told this will cause the end of her people and land. Soon she learns the five spells of women and a special one given to her, the spell over time. For her to learn this spell of the Gods could cause her death. But learning this may be her only hope of saving her family And herself.

A fun fantasy with a lot of action and likable characters. I really liked Alaji, she does what she must in order to save her family, no matter what the outcome may be. The plot is original, with attention to detail, bringing you into the story. I recommend A Count of Five to those who enjoy fantasy.

Occasionally confusing but at least contained an original idea / setting, that created an interesting world and time travel context. I enjoyed that lack of romance!
