Loved the story, It left me wanting more!

This was really quite a good story! I liked the main characters and their foes. The story was well written and had a great pace through the scenes between the conflicts as well as the conflicts themselves. Overall, this was a very satisfying and well written story.

Based on what other reviewers are saying I guess I might be in the minority here, but I found the narrator distracting. It seems like he would run out of breath toward the end of a sentence and had to really force the words without a sufficient amount of air to get it done. I kept wondering if he was just not taking a breath between sentences or if he was trying too hard to project a deep radio announcers voice and just couldn't maintain it at times.

Part of series. Works as standalone too.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Since this book is being marketed as a standalone book too and yet has several references to previous books in the series, I think a little more of a recap would've benefited the listeners. If I knew in more details about what the characters have suffered so far, I would've bonded more closely with them.

Would you be willing to try another book from Nick S. Thomas? Why or why not?

Sure. The writing was good in this book and characters were believable and relatable. The battle sequences were the strong point. So, I would definitely try out his other books.

Any additional comments?

I received this book free of charge from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.
