So Good!

This story is super exciting. It's about a guy who has to fight off dark powers with his friend. They go on a wild adventure, get stronger, and try to save their kingdom. I couldn't stop listening. It's full of action and really fun.

The next great fantasy

What a captivating story, narrated that kept me listening, and disappointed when I had to pause my listening. The main character obtains a special magical power, but he learns it’s not necessarily always a good thing. How he uses it and when leaves him with decisions that are often troubling. The narrators voice seems perfect for the story as it added instant credibility for me as I listened.

Hopefully this is the start of a series. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend

I grabbed this audiobook kind of on a whim, and I’m really glad I did. The Seventh Ideal has that classic epic fantasy feel, but it’s also surprisingly personal and emotional. Halden is one of those characters you root for right away, not perfect, just trying to figure things out while the world around him starts falling apart.

Coming of Age

The themes of friendship, bravery, and the fight between good and evil are expertly explored in this audiobook. Taylor's storytelling keeps you on the edge of your seat, with each twist and turn heightening the suspense. The longing for home and the perseverance against all odds are universal themes that will resonate with listeners of all ages.
