Liked it

It was included in the membership and with Kate & Michael narrating this I had to give it a go. I really liked it and got invested in the characters, and even though it was quite predictable at times the ending was a surprise. I recommend it, looking forward to reading the second book.

A great read/listen

So I really enjoyed listening to this book; massive Michael Kramer and Kate Reading fan here. In particular, the sniveling, snake-like seneschal character who spoke with a lisp (of course); just perfect for mister Kramer to have a lot of fun with. So, on to the story itself, I really liked the male main protagonist who was a lot more nuanced and turned out to have a more complex background story then what it seemed to at first glance. Now as for the other protagonist and main viewpoint, the female one, well let's get the elephant out of the room, she was basically Vin from the Mistborn series. Well, I guess I can live with that. There was also a pampered and sheltered, mostly useless princeling character who was basically Elhokar from the Stormlight Archive series from the same author. Oh well, let's hope Brandon Sanderson doesn't sue for copyright infringement. With all that being said, looking forward to the next installment!

Very good book

I get through a lot of books so nowadays don’t often get round to go posting a review, but wanted to share, this is a good one. I stumble across it and very much enjoyed it.

Truly awesome writing!

I have had sleepless nights trying to find out what happens next. I was not able to guess any of the outcomes until it was too late which makes a change as I can normally see how the stories unfold before I’ve gotten past the first chapter. You simply must read and then re-read this book. It’s absolutely amazing. I love it. Please more!

unexpected delight!

I struggle to write this, as I just want to start the next book in this series!

This was unexpected, particularly as I nearly stopped at chapter 2. The 2 narrators were awkward on my ears it didn't sit comfortably...then something clicked and it all just felt right. A story of 2 separate lives running parralel. There is mystery, there is magic, sadness, joy, humour, dragons, forgiveness, revenge, power and I just didn't see it coming so well done. This is one story I'm glad I listened to. if you like fantasy....give this a go stay for at least 4 chapters...

Writing style a bit penny-dreadful

Kramer & Reading do brilliant narration, as always, and the story is pretty good. If only the author was just a little less wordy - it really spoils the flow. The dives into motivation and background can fill out the characters and the world building, but please leave a tiny bit for the reader's intelligence and stop spoiling the flow with over-the-top and completely unnecessary exposition. It got to the point where I was expecting to hear what some spear carrier had hoped to have for breakfast as the knife flashed - unerringly - towards their eye socket... I completely lost the thread on many a lengthy divergence, at a key moment, into something utterly irrelevant.
