Highly Entertaining

Very much enjoyed this book. It was an excellent mix of tales of thievery, intrigue, and suspense. I also loved how each ending had a slight twist that I didn't see coming. I am very much looking forward to the sequel that comes out soon.

Not what I expected

Would you try another book from Seth Skorkowsky and/or R. C. Bray?

This is a collection of short stories with the same characters in the same world. I would have preferred a single story.

Surprisingly Addictive Collection of Short Stories

What did you love best about Mountain of Daggers?

Every story was excellent and captivating. I was always satisfied by the conclusion of one story straight into the middle of the next.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ahren was by far my favorite; his character development was fantastic and I really fell in love with him.

What does R. C. Bray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

As always, perfect reader.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! I found myself sitting in my car after work trying to finish a chapter before heading inside.

Not bad, could’ve been better.

Each of the short tails were pretty good. But would have been much better as a complete story.

Seth Skorkowsky Hits Another Homerun

I drive truck for a living. I read his Vuldacan series. So when I joined audible, I decided to try his Black Raven series. I was not disappointed! A great listen if you do lots of driving. R.C. Bray was a great narrator. Highly recommended.
