"Meh"
This wasn't the best book I have listened to. The story is loosely put together and the POV is confusing at times. The story lacks alot of conviction to prose and details making me wonder what is happening when, to whom and why. Characterization is poor,
The narrator has a short brunt aspect to his reading structure, emphasizing almost every word at the end of every sentence, He fails to present emotional strength to the characters dialogue as well as any significant characterization of who is speaking. Very monotone and not what i have come to expect and admire of more talented narrators.
Not particularly worth the time to listen to.
I love SciFy and Fantasy Novels History is my second love especially the Dark ages through the Renaissance and The American Civil War
"Like the Story but the narration was ehh"
Story was good, fast paced, and built to a good conclusion, I loved the theory on Balance also. But it appears from the vocabulary e.g. "torch" and a few other words that the book was written to be spoken with an English accent.
I think it would have been much better read that way.
Still worth a litsten and I ordered book two despite the narator.
"Dark Urban Fantasy"
American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It has a dark, urban vibe and the author plays with mythologies and relgions.
