Ascension

The Trysmoon Saga, Book 1

De: Brian K. Fuller

Narrado por: Simon Vance

Gen was a bard's apprentice, his nimble hands meant for the lute and his voice for a song. Then the half-mad and completely bored Shadan Khairn invaded Gen's village to winter there and start a war. He shoved a sword in Gen's hands and tormented his body, shaping a bard into a warrior to be killed for sport. As the days of torture pile up like the snow, Gen searches for death. But the day is at hand when the shattered shards of the world will knit together again, and the world's slain god will be reborn. The mighty Ha'Ulrich will be the father, the mysterious Chalaine the mother. In dangerous times the holy couple doesn't need a bard. They need a warrior. And Gen needs a reason to live.

My new favorite hero & story

This has become my new favorite fantasy series with my new favorite hero. I highly recommend the Author & Narrator as they are both at the top of their skills.

Well worth the listen

Simon Vance is a great narrator and does a masterful job relating Fuller's promising work. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I already preordered the next installment.

will go down as an alltime favorite

narrator is my absolute favorite.
really did this fantastic book justice.
the book is the real gem though.
this is my second time reading through it and it had me just as engaged as the first.

Wow. Just Wow.

I don’t pass out 5 stars on a whim, nor do I offer high praise lightly. This book, author, and narrator have earned it all.
The story is fresh, inventive, with strokes of originality, and surprisingly free of cliche (while acknowledging it is a good vs evil, orphan with no background must rise to meet his destiny and save the world Fantasy story).
I sought more from author Brian Fuller after enjoying another of his books, “Dread Uprising,” narrated by RC Bray. I am glad I did.
I confess to being a fan of the SciFi/Fantasy genre, with emphasis more on the SciFi. Good Fantasy stories are almost impossible to find. Too often, fantasy authors are compelled to try an “one-up” Tolkien. Mages and knights, lords and ladies, forced medieval dialogue weighed down with an over abundance of “methinks” and “I doths,” while never developing the characters.
Here you will find well developed, likable characters you can cheer for and brutes, scoundrels, and bores to “boo.” The dialogue does not get in the way of the story, or compete with it.

5 stars!

This was really really good. I picked it on a whim and finished it in a couple of days!

The narrator was great and the story was even better. Just got book 2 and I can’t wait!

Highly recommend.
