Path of a Novice

Silvan Series, Book 1

By: R.K. Lander

Narrated by: Daniel Thomas May

A fearless warrior. An implacable traitor. The path toward a destiny only a god foresaw.

Fel'annár is a gifted immortal warrior embarking on his first patrol into the Deep Forest. Half-Silvan, half-Alpine, he battles the enemy from without, and the prejudice from within. But he learns more than just warfare when an arcane power begins to emerge, one he cannot control.

While friendships are forged, a destiny unfolds, one that is tied to a past he knows nothing about. For others, though, it is only a matter of time before the truth is revealed, and the danger becomes real.

If you love high fantasy worlds with compelling characters on a dangerous mission, you can't miss Path of a Novice, book one in the epic fantasy series The Silvan Saga.

Worth a listen

This is a good book. The plot is enthralling and the characters rich. It's a story that once picked up is not easily put down.
the one problem is that the author jumps point of view a little chaotically at times which can make certain scenes confusing.

really good

I really liked the book. the one thing I hade trubble with is the names .... the names are similar and long and many caricatures have 2 or 3 manes so you have to pay attention to understand who it talking to who

a hidden gem in the Elvin forests

Okay, so I stumbled across this book by pure chance and it was a huge surprise to me!

The story will slowly pull you into an Elvin world full of wonderful descriptions that do not repeat themselves like a few too many books do.

I can't begin to give this book and series enough praises. I'm a middle aged guy who listens to a wide variety of books and this one is on the top ten too enjoy not just one time but many times.

I found R.K. Landers style of writing to be in-depth, descriptive without being annoying and not full of real world flaws. Yes it is fantasy. There are good and evil in this Sylvan world, treachery, intrigue, hidden characters working in the shadows and friendships that span the depths of time.

As for the narration of this story, there is some minor flaws with the playback, some character voices in the first book sound similar but you can distinguish characters without any real fuss and he improves with each book so I am more referring to that in book one.

Mr. May has great voice and character range and I can't even begin to fathom how hard it would be to narrate a book with so many characters and giving them their own voices. Kudos! Bravo!

Excellent

Was a great book I unfortunately binged it. The narrator was great, and thru his narration I was captured.

definitely interested in the next in the series

This is a good book, with a decent amount of characters and a great beginning for what may be great stories.
