Yeah!!! Grown up Fantasy

it was nice to see Mr. Anderson tackle high fantasy with a mature audience in mind.. i look at all these reviews and see half the crowd taking about there being too much sex in the book like its some smutty romance novel, there were four sexual situations in the whole story and none of them were very explicit or particularly long., such a tiresome and doll complaint for a truly good fantasy novel and I'm pretty sure a lot of young adults are sexually active anyway! so when i see comments like not young adult i think people really mean not for children and i would hope not when the series backdrop is set in a world at war and is pretty damn violent.

what makes a good fiction novel is knowing what your reading is not real but having it grounded in realistic situations.It's even more important in epic fantasy and this story mixes some ugly truths of life in very well, giving it a lot more substance the Author tackles hard subjects in a tasteful way by implying atrocities like genocide and rape making his villainous characters even more repugnant but not making me squirm through the gritter bits...

great story, great narration ...five stars all around...The Godling Chronicles were okay but this series has made me a fan, cant wait for the next installment!

Incredible story, incredible writing

Wow, so well written I feel apart of every scene,
it draws you in, and you listen to every word, and the derek perkins reading of this book is right on the mark.

looking forward to book 3.

Book 2 it's still building characters

Gteat book well written great narrator let's see what happens in 3 the story keeps getting better and better

Worth your time.

The story and plot are good enough, to keep you coming back for more. Worth the credit or purchase.

another wasted 30min @ the end of this book too.

i cant stand how they waste so much time readn the next book on this one. thats an hour wasted so far. thankfully theres only 2more books i think. so another hour will be wasted for sure. oh well happy listening.

Awesome adventure but the sex where did it come from not needed

What did you just like

The sex scenes were unnecessary in this adventure and made it very irritating.

But I love cat one of the characters see is just so adorable

Adultish fantasy

I don't understand what everyone is saying about too much sex. There's only one time anyone actually has sex and there is zero description of it. There is a bit of grinding and people getting turned on but I'm not one that enjoys that kind of thing (didn't like game of thrones) and it didn't really bother me with what was here. That being said I thought it was a good story. It's a little formula, which is to say highly predictable. It follows basic fantasy novel archetypes but overall the characters are interesting and the storytelling is well done.

great story with origianlity

I found this to be an amazing welcome to the classic epic fantasy genre, which I have had a hard time reading lately. I loved the originality and the pace the story takes. No wasted time with rubbish, just straightforward and quality writing. The narration is also excellent and keeps you engaged

Great part 2

I thought this was an excellent second book except for the large amount of swearing. I was thinking of having my kids read this series but with all the swearing in the volume they will not be reading it for a long time.

The story is well thought out and quite well written. I am anxious to see where it goes. I just hope book 3 has less language. there really is no need for it and it does not help the story at all.

flew through

I wish the book was twice the size, it keeps my attention the whole time. Never a dull moment.
