A solid entry

This is a solid entry in the Recluse series. It is one if the harder reads, almost painful at times, but the payout us there and it provides a necessary background for so much else in the series that it should not be missed.

About time, old favorite now in audible

One of my favorites as a teenager. Fascinating magic system. Pleasure to listen/read again.

not one of his better books

narrator was great. the story was forced. I really like the authors writing and many of the other books in the series but this one was weak with a plot that seemed forced and hard to follow.

Read just the way I did in my head

I love this series. Hayborn is an excellent narrator, capturing the story and planting not only a great audible experience in the listener's head, but a visual one as well. Better than any movie experience.

Awesome performance!

The premise was interesting and unique. I would definitely read the next installment, not to mention, the narration was flawless!
