Light Perpetual

De: Andrzej Sapkowski, David French - translator

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

From the globally bestselling author of The Witcher comes the final book in the rich historical epic, the Hussite trilogy. Join Reynevan—scoundrel, magician, possibly a fool—as he embarks on a last great adventure across the war-riddled landscape of 15th century Bohemia.

After his adventures in The Tower of Fools and Warriors of God, Reynevan is on the run again, harried by enemies—some human, and some mystical—at every turn. These are cruel and dangerous times for a man such as Reynevan, and to survive, he must set aside his history as a peaceful healer and idealist and play the brutal role of Hussite spy as crusades sweep through Silesia and the Czech Republic, and the world around him is forever changed.

What a f****** story. What a f****** author. read the Witcher. Also, give Peter Kenny a throne. He deserves it.

Excellent

This trilogy is so complicated, so deep. Without some training and study, we Americans can't understand it. It is so steeped in Polish and Central European mythology, history, and culture. It's beautiful.

Peter Kenny is the G.O.A.T.

Best audiobook narrator in the industry in my humble opinion. The perfect narrator for Sapkowski as well. 100% worth the read. Just don’t expect a warm and fuzzy ending.

A lot of Slavic words Geography

Purchased this book because of how much I loved this series of the Witcher book from the same author.

Felt a little bit, overwhelmed with the amount of improperly, pronounced Slavic words I would rather they were translated or pronounced properly. Still, the production team, and the reader have done a great job.

In my personal opinion, the trilogy has devoted more than needed amount of political discussion. Without having a map in front of the eyes, it was hard to follow which group is going where.

I was hoping the main character is going to develop more his magical skills, instead, he has become a little bit fighter, little bit physician, and a little more wise.

FYI just my PERSONAL opinion

The epic conclusion to a fantastic trilogy

First off, Peter Kenny does a fantastic job. He gives life to each character and there are hundreds of characters throughout this trilogy. He’s one of the best for audio books.
The story is also epic. Andrzej Sapkowski is a fantastic Writer. His style is addicting to listen too and he really fills out the world around the characters. He has such a realistic view when writing. Things often don’t work out, which gives every interaction and battle a feeling on not knowing what will happen next. The characters are well written and the conclusion to the series is full of highs and lows.
I highly recommend the Hussite Trilogy and the Witcher novels. David French, Andrzej Sapkowski, Peter Kenny, and all those involved worked very hard and their work payed off. These are some of the best audio books.

Stephen King should take a lesson from this book.

Brilliant writing. Great depiction of historical events without making it boring. Loved the way magic and alchemy was integrated into the story. Felt natural and not forced.

The end of an epic

An entrancing, bloody conclusion

War is hell as has been said. Whether death is by medieval weapons or computer generated bombs, its effect remains thr same. Relogious zealots also continue to destroy populations. We have learned nothing. God remainsa a useful tool for power and murder then amd now.

Reynevan has matured. He has weathered deep tragedy . Some great friends also suffer. I found the audio book impossible to put down. There were some plot points that I felt were rushed but they didn't mar the whole story.

I shall dearly miss my 15 century heroes!
Get this series!

excelent

Peter Kenny is absolutely fantastic in the narration of this amazingly incredible story. to say I loved it is an understatement.

Heartbreaking, yet uplifting

LP is a bittersweet conclusion to the Hussite Trilogy, and masterfully handled by the author. Peter Kenny as always knocks it out of the park with his supreme narration skills.

my favorite author of all time

I love the writing, translation, production, narration...everything. A little magic and a lot more from this author, please.
