The Defiance of Vim

Catalyst, Book 4

De: C.J. Aaron

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

Free from the clutches of the kingdom, yet slaves to fate.

Ryl, the phrenics, and their meager army make for the security of the Erlyn Woods. As the cost of freedom continues to mount, their hold remains tenuous at best. New additions to their army present unexpected complications and danger. Choices that will define the future of Damaris hang in the balance.

The army from Cadsae Proper marches in their wake. Control, coveted for ages will not be ceded willingly. Or without a fight. Outnumbered by thousands, Ryl is forced to choose between defending the tributes or reclaiming a friend, stolen from their midst.

Will his quest end in rescue or revenge?

Whispers of darkness taint the light of change. For better or worse, the kingdom is changing by the moment.

So, too, is Ryl.

Good

It was nice to finally get a continuation tho I did slightly miss Travis baldrees voice but since it’s been so long it wasn’t too hard to get over I plan to get the next books

Changed Narrator / Writing Style

The first three books were great, with the change made of Narrators and I think writing style the book got tedious, boring and rediculous. Book was overflowing with un-needed, boring and drawn out descriptions that really lent nothing to the Story. The Original Narrator, Travis Baldtree Das phenomenal, this new guy, while speaking clearly just appears to be reading a script, no feeling or emotion to speak of in the telling.

please bring back Travis

I absolutely love the story but I dislike the new narrator. I would not bother listening to another book in this series if it's the same narrator.

Great story, boring audio

The first 3 audio books that were read by Travis Baldree were very captivating and voices done for the different characters drew you into the story.
Sadly, because the author changed readers/performers, this book dragged on slowly and painfully boring.
This is nothing against the new performer he was very crisp and sharp with his reading. But his style almost seemed like he was performing and reading a play script from Shakespeare.

Aylen Sucks

Great book written really well story is on point the only thing about it that killed the momentum was Aylen. He was just kinda there, always getting in the way slowing Ryl Down being a hindrance , and a utterly useless consort altogether. He’s a decent friend to Ryl I guess, but one who should just be a third side chat at who’s around occasionally that’s it. Anyway those are my thoughts on it don’t let this stop you from listening to this book though it really is amazing.
