Audible Best Fantasy Audiobook Series
The Audible blog included the Coldfire Trilogy in their “must listen” fantasy audiobook list:
“The Coldfire trilogy is a fantasy series following two unlikely allies who team up to take on a world-threatening evil. Beginning with Black Sun Rising, the journey of hero Damien Vryce intertwines with that of the villainous Gerald Tarrant. The two men, polar opposites of good and evil, must find a way to unite and defeat the Fey, an evil that manifests people’s worst fears and threatens to erase existence itself. Listeners repeatedly praise R.C. Bray for his excellent high-energy narration.”

Out of This World SFF Review
Great review for Nightborn!
“NIGHTBORN: COLDFIRE RISING is the perfect segue into the larger series and answered all of those nagging questions I had with regard to the origins of the colonization of the enigmatic planet of Erna. This was always a trilogy that begged for a prequel in my opinion and Friedman has written one that is about as perfect as you could ask for. This prequel gives the reader a front row seat as the first settlers of Erna begin to realize that the planet they all thought might be ideal for colonization slowly reveals that it is anything but.”
