The Blade's Own Truth

Son of the Wilderlands, Book 1

By: Zachary Dugas, Daniel Jones

Narrated by: Connor Brannigan

The Wilderlands are said to contain many dangers. On most maps the area remains blank and only the bravest of travelers will venture beneath its canopy. For monsters roam these woods, which made it the perfect place for a legendary swordmaster to disappear from the world for a time and raise a child.

For seventeen years Holviti of Yuutan raised Duren in those woods, training him in the sword, hunting the creatures that called it home, but as is the case with all young men, there comes a day when one must leave his fathers home and make their own mark on the world.

Duren had no idea what awaited him in the world, but he was definitely looking forward to finding out. Sword in hand and Holviti’s lessons in his head he set out, thinking he was prepared for anything in the world. Up until the point he met her that was…

Author’s note: This book contains an overpowered main character, graphic violence, creative language, sexual innuendos, and quite a few moments that cracked my creative consultant up. You have been warned...

the narrator really brings life to the characters

I loved the narration, he brought the characters to life. he also made the humor much better. the book was very lovely and fun

A solid listen

A good fantasy story that. Very enjoyable and well narrated. The audience has all the details but without feeling like an idiot ball plot.

confused

this audiobook came out back in 2022 which I have in my library but those pops up as being release in 2024. what's going on?

Annd this will stay RIGHT HERE!!!

There are no words grand enough nor imagination vivid enough to express my love for this grand tale. An excellent and amazing listen with perfectly timed comedic one-liners. At times you'll catch yourself acting out the scene. With memorable moments and out loud laughter this truly is a definite 11/10 for me. Let me reiterate the one liners never cease to amaze, if knowing IS half the battle... the other half IS violence. oh where, oh where will this story go from here? Duran of the wildland, the man, the myth and the legend that is "the old man".

Simp Mc insufferable female lead

The story is actually somewhat decent. The problems occur whenever the writer introduces two major issues.

This horrible example of a female is cruel thing mean unjustily, accusatory towards every male, no matter what, no matter what the circumstance is. there's even a point where the writer starts to implement that physical abuse is okay. So much as to where she actually scars his face, and she has trained him so well that he wants to keep the scar, because it means it gives her a boost in confidence... i'm not gonna say that every single female character needs to be this doughy. Eyed weak the version of a female because that would be just as bad. What's wrong with just having a normal likable character? Not someone that is going to constantly physically abuse and put down and compare herself to the main mill. Character, which we're all reading the story about.

And the second thing that he introduces fairly early in the story is that no matter what what any female character says, yeah, all other males have to follow regardless of how ridiculous the idea or the phrase or whatever the situation is. it would have been better to name the book, "Fear Woman's Emotions"
