Very Tolkien classic adventure

This book felt like i was reading a lost manuscript for Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth series spiced up with a bit of Tolkein's The Hobbit with the defined lands and classic elder figure there for guidance and protection from the far too dangerous.

That is right up until about the last half of the book where the lore started feeling a bit more for this series. I was interested in the plight of the people, the wars and histories, the abilities and skills shown by the figures of the land. things started rising upwards happily.

It could use some development/realism with the characters but a decent read if you like an adventurous travel story

Blatant Goodkind rip

This story is well written and well performed but totally ripped off Terry Goodkind.
I listened to book one and that's enough for me.

Solid book series and the narrator does an excellent job of bringing you in.

Excellent narrator, solid story line, decent character development. I’m interested to see where they take the story

Excellent

I loved this book.. very exciting, interesting, and a very great story. Narrator did a great job.

Surprising gem in the plus+ catalog

Listened to 0.5 & book 1 today, really enjoyed so far. The MC’s name though 🤦‍♂️ Gewey sometimes it’s pronounced “Gooey” or “Jewey”, then occasionally it will be “G-way”, later on it I think it was said as “Heavy” one time 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, on to book 2 - enjoying this series so far!
