Brion never meant to start a war.
But when they murdered his parents and enslaved his sister and his sweetheart, they left him no choice.
Brion of Wexford is the son of a crippled trapper living a quiet life on the edge of the vast and unruly heathland. But when Salassani raiders destroy his world, he must venture into the heathland to attempt the impossible task of finding the girls, rescuing them, and conveying them safely home across hundreds of miles of enemy territory. Now Brion finds himself pursued by men bent on his destruction, deprived of his protectors, and haunted by the knowledge that his murdered father has hidden a dark secret that could reshape Brion’s entire identity. Brion must find a way to stay alive long enough to get the girls safely home.
This is an adventure series perfect for fans of John Flanagan’s Ranger's Apprentice, J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, T. H. White’s The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

The Archer of the Heathland does follow the coming of age story of an archer, and he is trained by a grizzled, old, lonely veteran. However, the tone and feel of this book is darker and quite a bit more harrowing for the MC. While this book would probably appeal to some YA audiences it doesn’t have the immature vibe of your average YA story.
This audiobook was very well written, and if I could I would give it 4.5 stars. There were just a few things that kept me from going all the way to five though...
First, there were a couple parts that just didn’t seem realistic within the world the author built. They weren’t deal breakers, but they did pull me out of the story. Most of this had to do with the author’s overly optimistic ideas about what could be accomplished in a certain amount of time... whether it was in a number of days, weeks, or months.
Second, was the narration which was absolutely adequate. After an hour or two in I barely took note of the performance. However, occasionally the performance felt a little clunky to me, and it pulled me out of the story. On the whole the narrator did a good job... a solid 4 star performance. It just wasn’t unusually good, which is my minimum bar for 5 stars.
Last, there were some overly coincidental moments and situations that the author should have supplied justifications for. You can get away with that kind of thing only once in a book (if that), but do it several times and it starts to feel like lazy writing. I hope that the author might address these coincidences in the next book and explain how/why they might not have been so coincidental. He has left the door open for it, so maybe he will, but as of now it’s just kind of off-putting.
So in the end, the flaws I’ve noted were more to justify my not giving this book 5 stars than to say that this book isn’t good, because truly it is very good. I will definitely be continuing the series. While this book does have a dark tone, it is very PG-13 in terms of being descriptive about the topics it focuses on which include violence, murder, war, the possibility of rape, slavery, and revenge.
There shouldn’t be any triggering issues, nor should this book be categorized as grim-dark. I found it to be a very engrossing and enjoyable listen. If you like archers and swords, suspense and last ditch fights, or mysteries and a little bit of moral ambiguity then you can’t go wrong here.
This audiobook is worth your credit.
