Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon's village discovers that he's a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm. Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he'll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Too much strange creatures
I bought this audio book during a promotion, which is a good way to try new authors. This is how I discovered Larry Correia, who became one of my favorite authors. In this case, though, I'm not sure I would jump on Craig DeLancey's next fantasy book.
I liked the basic idea of the story, because usually I'm interested in a quest type adventure. However, there were a few things that threw me off balance.
My biggest issue was that there were too many strange creatures, and at certain points it was hard to follow who was who and who did what and why. For example, what was the function of the modegast? (Sorry, if I misspell it, I write it after hearing.) It felt as if the writer wanted to include them only because he found them cool, and anyway, they could just chase the heroes giving some excitement. Also, a (kind of) vampire? Really? In this sense I think less would have been more.
Talking about writer's intervention - you know, when something isn't really consistent, but happens anyway to move the plot forward - I found a few events sticking out. For example killing the parents without hesitation (instead of only immobilize them) and kidnapping the girl just to have a motive for the hero to go on the quest.
At certain points I got bored, and tapped the "skip 30 seconds" icon quite a few times.
Besides that I found the writer's voice enjoyable, and the characters were drawn well enough for me. I also found the mythic base interesting and I liked the names a lot. (Though, after a while I half-expected Thor to appear, but it was just me, watching too much Marvel films.)

A moving adventure
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
For me, it took a while to get into the story and relate to the characters - about a quarter of the way into the book. But after that, I was all in. I felt the losses the characters felt, and their passions and their plight.
Any additional comments?
The end was satisfying and left me thinking about the characters and the world for days after finishing the book.

A full throated defence of blind faith
Any additional comments?
but seriously this is so one dimensional its stupid. It starts off somewhat promising but it becomes pretty clear that what the author was trying to do here was promote a very specific view of the world. Brandon Sanderson said it best in The Way of Kings: "the role of a storyteller is not to tell you what to think, but to give you questions to think about." This is not that. It is very clearly telling you what to think, and bluntly. World building is very formulaic and in a way that feels like the author was just doing a scifi checkbox thing. A huge disappointment.

Supposedly nice premise obscured by whining hero
Apparently there is some philosophy here? I don't know, I really couldn't make it through the endless contrived encounters between whining cardboard characters. The background and world is really lavishly constructed, and I kept wanting to continue, but in the end, the plot developments are so clumsy and contrived, and the characters so flat that I just couldn't sit through their whining to get to the heart of it. I did my best, but ditched it after I fell asleep in the middle of a giant battle scene between some talking animals and a dead guy and an immortal statue with a hammer and such.

Interesting World... Meh Characters
The author clearly thought out the world.. Very very clearly. The world and history atleast appeared to be well thought out..
And it was crafted in an interesting fashion with a pace ticking clock that keep the story moving at breakneck pace which prevents the characters and in some cases the reader from asking too many questions that would neve be explained
Now if the main protagonists had been more interesting, I really might have liked this story better.. But unfortunately it's focal character was reason why no one likes teenage boys, his protector is reason why no one likes Adults and for the most part every other character is a cardboard walking cliches with the few nearly interestering characters getting next to No air time while getting the honor of horrible deaths, sidelining, and being lampshades.. It's like the author had 5 interesting characters but since they couldn't figure out how to get so they wrote 15 other crappy characters in the hopes that maybe you wouldn't notice cool ones.
I have probably given this review more thought than author gave to his story but I assure that both endings will be about as satisfying..

better the 2nd time around
listened to it a while back. not terribly impressed with either the story or the narration. However, I usually listen to stuff more than once and upon this listening I realized that the story is a lot more complex and involving than I first thought it to be. The narration is spot on. In general, a very good listen.

Good book. Excellent performance by Nick Powel.
Book was good but left a few loose ends. The wrap up really leaves you thinking there should be more to the story....its almost like the ending was setting the ground work for a sequel.
