Child of the Daystar

By: Bryce O'Connor

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

Among the scattered fringe cities bordering the Cienbal desert, the true name of the Monster of Karth is spoken only in whispers...RAZ I'SYUL ARRO. A sellsword of the utmost caliber, Raz is a killer of paramount skill and highest regard. Towering tall even amongst the atherian, he is the only of his kind to live free in the "civilized" confines of mankind's varied cultures. He has no need of loyalties, his sole affections pledged to the gold crowns that buy his time and skills.

Wed to his blades, Raz's only friends are the Moon and Her Stars and the shadows they bring with the night. But Raz was not born to the mercenary's way, to the butchery and battle of day-by-day survival.

Raz, like a sword, was hammered from steel and fire and ashy smoke, forged on the ruins of an old life. And Raz knows who he owes this new path to, this carved way of blood and iron. The Monster of Karth, after all, would never forget who gave him that name. And some debts can't be paid in gold....

Razor was the power

Was a bit Gory, much cussing, didnt like the ending left the story hanging with out direction

Start of a new Book-Lust

(For younger listeners) It says the F word a handful of times along with with other curse words and mature themes.
That being said, I loved this selection. The book was expertly written and flowed well. The story was CAPTIVATING! I can not wait to listen to the other books in the series! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Very entertaining book!

I very much enjoyed this book. one of the main things that I enjoyed was that it was a non-human character. And I know there will be some people that say elves and dwarves aren't human either but outside of a change in height and ear length they're basically human. This character is a draconian/ gargoyle/lizard-man. There are many names depending on what you're reading. I enjoyed the first half of the book more where he was young and still learning how to deal with his new environment. I really would have liked to have seen more of that but I understand they wanted to get to some more action. The narrator did a fine job and I wouldn't want to hear anybody else do it from now on. So hopefully the next book will have him as part of it. this book gave me a little bit of the RA Salvatore Drizzt vibe.

A good read well performed

An interesting read about the darkness of humanity from an inhuman source. I look forward to the next installment.

It’s great

It’s great and I love the author, with that said I feel the story jumped to far to fast.

Without spoilers they had a great cast a few different times and they all got wrote off, and the main character is just to ultra great at all and we never knew where he got these skills.
