Forsworn

The Forsworn Oath, Book 1

De: David Estes

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds

Do not fear the shadows, but what lives inside them.

When Ludo Vica was only eight years old, he lost his twin brother and his eye when a horrific fire turned his village to ash. The last thing he remembers is a dark figure, wreathed in flames, stalking toward his childhood home. His brother, Gado, was still inside. Then came the explosion, the burning pain where his eye should've been, followed by blessed oblivion.

The man deemed responsible for it all was Cainan, a dark sorcerer known as the Fire Eater, who was brought to justice and imprisoned in the legendary fortress known as Comman Dur. In the two decades that have passed since that fateful night, Ludo's every waking moment has been focused on the only thing he has left to live for: revenge. So when the Fire Eater escapes, Ludo is determined to hunt him down and avenge his brother's death, a path that leads him into the shadows and mysteries of Lostwood.

What awaits him in the shadows will change everything.

Fans of A Game of Thrones, The Stormlight Archives, The Kingfall Histories, and The Fatemarked Epic will enjoy The Forsworn Oath.

reader is awaesome.

the chapters jump around in time lines, 20 years h4, 78 years in future, it is hard to keep the storyline straight.

Fantastic

This is a great story. The writing is great strong characters and character building. Great banter, original magic system. TGR brings this story to life.

Very detailed characters. Great voice actor's range of voices. a lot of characters backgrounds to remember

Not having the other books on audible. It ruined the whole experience. hopefully I don't have to wait years before it's coming out on Audible.

David Estes strikes again! Trapping me happily into another of his amazing worlds!

David has a way of making characters feel like new friends. he manages to world build without ever making me board. an excellent book. I cant wait for the next.

The squeeze is not worth the mustard

After the fourth or fifth time of listening to a 45 minute chapter and having no idea what’s going on until the final minutes and even then being confused if anything actually happened, I realized that this book takes too long to do anything even though it has said a lot. I tried. I gave it an honest effort over almost 15 hours. There are some really good ideas, but the author spends too much time talking in circles. What is meant to be fantastic and mysterious is simply confusing and non-linear. I understand why some people will like this book, however, I don’t understand why so many like it. It probably has a great payoff at the end of the book. Squeeze is not worth the mustard.
