Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's Summary
In the beginning, great power is only great potential.... Renowned for both martial and arcane skills, the mighty warcasters of the Iron Kingdoms possess the unique gift of bonding with and commanding mighty warjacks on the field of battle. Yet despite their inborn abilities, these powerful soldier-sorcerers began as novices, forced to harness their talents in rigorously structured military training programs or through the brutal crucible of battle.
Rites of Passage tells the tales of six novice warcasters, some from the great military powers of the Iron Kingdoms and others destined for a more independent path. Journey to the Cygnaran front lines with Lieutenant Allison Jakes as she learns the difficult lessons of what it means to be a battlefield commander. Balance faith with arcane might alongside Initiate Tristan Durant of the Protectorate of Menoth. Navigate the treacherous politics of the Druzhina, Khador's military training academy, with Kovnik Andrei Malakov.
Take to the bloody high seas aboard a Cryxian ship with the ruthless pirate raider Aiakos. Follow the trials of the assassin initiate Elara as she struggles to accept her changed destiny as a warcaster within the Retribution of Scyrah. Finally, prowl the war-torn streets of occupied Llael with the gutter rat Gastone Crosse as he becomes the most wanted man in Merywyn.

One bad narrator, the rest was great
If you could sum up Rites of Passage in three words, what would they be?
Character origin adventures.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I enjoyed the character Aiakos, because it's always interesting to see into the mind of a 'bad guy' and what motivates them to do what they do. Bad guys who are just bad because they 'enjoy' it and are there merely as an excuse for the good guy to have a force to deal with are always boring. Aikos had a pretty good back story, and they detailed out his situation well.
Did Bryan Reid and Mike Ortego do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Neither narrator did a perticularly good job of differentiating character voices, but the books are pretty short and dont have more than a handful of characters anyway so its not a big deal.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Sense its a collection of short stories it gives you good breaks to stop and come back later. It was good to listen to while I worked on art.
Any additional comments?
Bryan Reid's Narration was terrible. He sounded half asleep, or possibly buzzed. He slurs his words and speaks in a monotone, emphasizing awkward words in sentences. The stories he narrated were almost un-listenable for me. The only reason I stuck with them was because I wanted to know the story, which was hard to do because I kept zoning out with his droning monotone. He seriously sounds like he recorded these at 4 in the morning after a long night at the bar. If I had been a producer on this audio book, there is no way I would have allowed this product to ship with his performance. Luckly, Mike Ortego's Narration was great and makes up for it, and his 3 stories are worth your credit alone.

Mike Ortega did a fantastic job, but Bryan Reid was ponderous and a bit monotone. The stories are more than worth listening to him though, especially if you speed him up to 1.25 or 1.5 playback.

Awful narration
The book is broken up into 6 stories. The narrator for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th characters is great, but the other narrator is just awful. His speech is so staccato, it kinda comes across as unnatural, turning stories I didn't care about even worse, and the ones I did really want to know and listen to became chores. Whenever possible, I will definitely avoid Brian Reid in the future.

Erik Tarverro is a skilled blacksmith, a better swordsman—and hated for his mixed aeradi parentage. Denied mastery of his craft in the human city he grew up in, he accepts a risky contract from a dangerous stranger. With new enemies at his heels, he leaps at the chance to join his father's people in the sky city of Newport. Despite his human blood, he finds his place among the aeradi: heir to an ancient noble family. But Erik's enemies will have blood, and the peace between his people and the Draconan dragon riders is like a powder keg. All it would take is one spark.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.
