interesting

an interesting start to this promising series by a new author to me that grabbed my attention.

Good start to a series

There's a lot going on in this book. The author use historical figures to tie in a good fantasy story. My only complaint is although, there's plenty of action, sometimes the story stalled. Overall a good listen though.

“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

A Good Tale

This is a well done story, following a powerful warrior who just lost his memories and some of his ability. As we go through the tale, we can see and even share some of his confusion about the world around him. There's plots, conflict, and cruelty around him, as he tries to figure out who to trust and how to become the man he once was. Also an interesting take on magic in this world. Promising first book in what could be an epic series. Recommended for those interested in the genre.

Narration is competent with good production value. For me though, there was just a tiny something that seemed to pull me out of the story at times. I don't know if it's how much time is spent speaking in a sort of growl or something else entirely. It's not something that would keep me from listening though.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Great Beginnings

The beginning story in this series is great. The narrator was awesome. I really loved all the characters except for the MC. He came across as whiny and immature. Except for the very end. I'm going to continue this series because it is good.
