The Cost of Betrayal

De: David Dalglish

Narrado por: C.J. McAllister

Their prophet dead and their home lost, the half-bloods Harruq and Qurrah Tun form a strained alliance with a band of mercenaries outside the city of Veldaren. As the brothers and their allies wage a private war against powerful thief guilds, forces greater than them all threaten to tear them apart and ruin any hope for a better life. Harruq must defend his family at all costs, for Qurrah's love of a girl with a shattered mind and the power of a goddess may doom them all.

Should have listened to book 1 first. I was kinda lost on this one. I did enjoy it after awhile but I need the backstory. It was a slow starter as well. That didn't help. Still I would continue the series. I did enjoy it.

Great narration. Very enjoyable.

Keeps me engaged

Pleasantly surprised by how this story is turning out. Started with book 1 and although it took 30 mins to really focus into it, it’s turning out to be really entertaining. There are no true cliff hangers at the ends but I still find myself wanting to know what’s going to happen with them.

Powerfully exciting.

This is the second part of the series. This is the first book by David Dalglish I've read. I gave this a 4 because there are a few things that were confusing. I think if I had listened to the first book I probably would have given this a 5. Unfortunately I can't afford it to find out, hopefully I can get it soon. So if you're interested in this one I suggest getting the first book as well for best enjoyment.
C. J. McAllister has fastly risen to becoming one of my favorite narrators. It's a pleasure listening to him.

A whirlwind of emotions

Book 2 is a whirlwind of back AMF forth emotions.
you both love and hate the characters. They are not heroes they are not vilians they do good things and make mistakes. A good story.

Good book!

Interesting characters abound! Good fantasy novel with some interesting twists. Takes a bit to get into, but a great story. Worth a credit.

Heart broken

I kept on thinking you would bring the baby back. Looking forward to see more of the brothers.

Stick With It - It's Worth it!!!

The beginning was tedious for me and had I been reading I would have skimmed through alot of the day to day details however the pace does get better and I found myself hanging on every word. Tessana is such a tortured soul and the way CJ McAllister narrates her and the others truly brings the story to life. At the core everyone is just trying to do what is right for their loved ones but life is messy and not easy and this story reflects that very well. I am eager to find out what happens next in the series. I would definitely purchase other books narrated by CJ McAllister.

A solid fantasy story

This one was a very slow start for me. Partly, I think, because I didn’t realize it was a 2nd book in a series. That being said, I stuck with it and was ultimately glad I did. It had a very Dungeons and Dragons feel to it but that wasn’t a bad thing to me. All in all, a good experience and I’d be open to the next book in the series.

The Cost of Betrayal Unveiled!

Dive into a world of half-bloods, mercenaries, and looming darkness – your next epic escape awaits!

an elven orcish time

I didn't know what to expect when I sat down to listen to this book, being the 2nd in the story i expected to have to read book one. I was delighted to find I did not. I love fantasy story's and this one is going on my ooo now i have to get the rest of them list. The story is deep and keeps you listening, feeling for each of the unique chars within. By the end i didn't even know who i was rooting for anymore, each persons story pulling my heartstrings in unique ways. Warning if you do not like gore or death upsets you, this is not the book for you. But if u are ok with it or love it...here u go...*smiles*
The voice actors voice at first was a shock for me, I find his voice to be deeper then i am used to for audio books ( keep in mind i haven't listened to thousands of them) but once i got in to the story his voice fit so very well. I think from now on every time i hear a orcs voice..ill remember his, thank you.
I was given this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review ( i would have given one anyway i hope it helps) thank you so much
