Great story!!

This was a great read. I like the more fast paced way the story goes and gets to action quickly. I will listen to this book again.

Great story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. As I've mentioned before, anything Andrew McDermott narrates is a book I'll listen to! This story fortunately can stand on its own as well! The characters are interesting and well developed. The story world is detailed and interesting. The book is well written and I recommend it for sword and sorcery or fantasy fans! I'm looking forward to the other books in the world of Ansu!

Epic

Webb is an excellent storyteller with an incredible imagination. The world-building and character development are excellent, immersing the listener.

Andrew McDermott conveyed the characters, their personalities, mood, and animations, bringing the story to life. Overall, this was a fantastic listen, one I recommend. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Epic Tale

Great story. Spans many genres. Fantasy, scifi, romance, action. I love the authors work and this one is definitely one of his best. Perfect narrator for the story as well.

More of J.W. Webb's Incredible Fantasy!

I love all of this author's work! the combination of fantasy blended with real themes of the middle ages. his characters always develop wonderfully. the cruel harsh realism of the past, balanced with excellent story telling has me hooked on each word. The incredible part is that each of his works send a thread connecting them in his web of stories! I'm almost done listening to all his works, and I can't wait for there to be more!

2nd time through

I've listened to the entire series prior, and I must admit starting it over is even better because I kind of have an idea of where things are going. there is a lot in this book multiple stories that take a little bit to come together but I think it's well worth it

GREAT READ!

I really enjoyed it! There's plenty of action, drama, romance and suspense to keep you entertained. The narration was great. The author does a great job with the character builds and plot. I have read so many books by this author and have grown to love her writing style! I can't wait to read the more books in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Intriguing

Originally this was not one of my favourite genres. Once I listened to the stories by this Author, I was hooked forever. The Narrator helped make this possible.

Solid Tale

Despite being being quite dark, bloody and violent the book kept my interest throughout. However, lacked any real emotion

Invested and wanting More!

So funny story about this book, But first, I was gifted this book by the author in exchange for my humble opinion. Well I requested the book be gifted to me because I thought it was a prequel to a Legends of Ansu fantasy series written by the same author that I had already read book 1 of, lol but alas it was not. With that said though, I now have a second series to finish reading by Mr. Webb. JW Webb has a great talent for building characters that you become invested in. You want to know about their lives, struggles and adventures. This book is a history of the past of a people I have yet to get to know, but I am impressed by their ancestors. Erun and Lissane are so real in their lives as you listen you can believe and that is a great quality for me. This book ran me through the gauntlet of emotions, anger at the treatment, joy at the reunion, sorrow at the devastation. Over all a great start to a new series that I shall be reading. Thank you for the honor of your gift.
