Oath Breaker

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #5

De: Michelle Paver

Narrado por: Ian McKellen

Torak circled the fire and Thiazzi came after him: slowly, cracking his whip, playing with his prey as a lynx plays with a lemming. Torak was exhausted. He wasn't going to last much longer. When he was outcast, Torak was the hunted one. Nine moons later he becomes the hunter, when he vows to avenge the killing of one of his closest friends.

Racked by guilt and grief, he follows the killer into the Deep Forest, where the World Spirit stalks the hidden valleys as a tall man with the antlers of a stag. But there is a rottenness at the heart of the Forest, for its clans have succumbed to the lies of the Soul-Eaters. Here Torak must face fire, war, and overwhelming evil. The fifth book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, Oath Breaker is a story about keeping promises and the true cost of vengeance.

Will always be my favorite

I have never felt closer to the forest than listening to these amazing books. Michele paver is one of my favorite writers and the audio version of these stories is breathtaking

Suspence

Packed with emotional swings, the story requires close attention. It is not confusing, but you have to accept the beyond-normal abilities of Torak, especially his ability to read signs. This is one of those books whose cover and title only make sense after you have read it. At times I felt the orchestration of luck was a little over-much.

Loved it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! These books are incredible and it's really nice to hear Ian McKellen's interpretation.

Have you listened to any of Ian McKellen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, he voices this whole series. Really wonderful!

My favorite series

I am biased because this is my favorite book series. Made all the sweeter to have it narrated by Sr. Ian McKellen. The breaks for “disc 1” were a little jarring but not overly so.
