The Cult of Sutek

Any additional comments?

This was a really good book.The plot was interesting and well written.A minstrel who can no longer perform and a warrior maid team up to break out of jail and a few heads on a quest that turns into many different quests.Jeffery Kafer was the perfect narrator for this book..I look forward to the next book in the series.

It's not a great book, but it held my interest.

It's an easy listen, nothing complicated about it. There's a little elemental magic in it, but thats not the focus of the novel. Its really about two unlikely allies, who plan on stealing a gem, and early on they get sidetracked into taking a rescue job, because they need cash to support themselves until they can steal the gem they want. And, that's about it. I'll probably listen to the others sometime.

Grabbed me by the ears and wouldn't let go!

Seemed like an interesting concept to knit to. Two disparate people who learn to work together while learning to help others. In the course of events, they each learn more about themselves. Plenty of action, suspense, mayhem, and strange creatures.
Audio performer, Mr Kafer, does a great job of enhancing all of the characters and their actions. And saved me the problem of how to pronounce correctly!

Good start, kept my interest...

The Cult of Sutek (The Epic of Andrasta and Rondel, Vol. 1) by Joshua P. Simon and narrated by Jeffrey Kafer turned out to be a good and easy listen. Would recommend if you’re looking for something new in the genre.

What to expect: Andrasta and Rondel escape prison and end up pairing up to search for a jewel. They need money before the search can begin. One thing leads to another and they need to help find a princess who has been taken by the Cult of Sutek. You get a variety in this book- sorcery, fighting, weapons, a crazy cult (sacrifices, cannibalism, and more), lots of action, treachery, some twists and turns that help make it not the same old song and dance, nobles, violence, The Blood Forest. It kept my interest throughout and found myself going back to the book to finish the story. Decent character development and the story flows nicely. The only thing I didn’t care for the was the cliché of the fat older woman being the comedy relief.

The narrator, Jeffrey Kafer, did a great job with this one. Voiced Rondel perfectly.

I will likely be checking out the future installments.

Parental guidance/trigger warnings: a cult who does things such as human sacrifices/rape of virgins/torture/cannibalism (these are mentioned but not discussed in detail), violence (fighting), kidnapping, death, suicide, and body shaming (MC makes comments about an older woman’s body as she’s gained weight since they last saw each other. Happens multiple times.)

*I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you for allowing me to listen and review the book!

Great story!

Great interaction between all of the characters. I'm really looking forward to the part of the story.
