The Border Keeper

By: Kerstin Hall

Narrated by: Michael Braun

She lived where the railway tracks met the saltpan, on the Ahri side of the shadowline. In the old days, when people still talked about her, she was known as the end-of-the-line woman.

Vasethe, a man with a troubled past, comes to seek a favor from a woman who is not what she seems, and must enter the 999 realms of Mkalis, the world of spirits, where gods and demons wage endless war.

The Border Keeper spins wonders both epic - the Byzantine bureaucracy of hundreds of demon realms, impossible oceans, hidden fortresses - and devastatingly personal - a spear flung straight, the profound terror and power of motherhood. What Vasethe discovers in Mkalis threatens to bring his own secrets into light and throw both worlds into chaos.

Confusing tale.

It’s not well written but it is well performed. The story gets good at the end so if you stick with it the ending is solid but the beginning is very weak and confusing. Rules of the world not explain, setting muddled. Once they cross over to the world of demons it starts to make more sense (weirdly enough).

Good Starter

Drawing imagery and thrilling dialogues. But left me feeling incomplete with sections of missing plot
