The Lore of Prometheus

De: Graham Austin-King

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

John Carver has three rules: Don't drink in the daytime, don't gamble when the luck has gone, and don't talk to the dead people who come to visit.

It has been almost five years since the incident in Kabul. Since the magic stirred within him and the stories began. Fleeing the army, running from the whispers, the guilt, and the fear he was losing his mind, Carver fell into addiction, dragging himself through life one day at a time.

Desperation has pulled him back to Afghanistan, back to the heat, the dust, and the truth he worked so hard to avoid. But there are others, obsessed with power and forbidden magics, who will stop at nothing to learn the truth of his gifts. Abducted and chained, Carver must break more than his own rules if he is to harness this power and survive.

I really wanted to like this book.

Let me start off by saying this is really well written. The story holds together flawlessly and I felt like the characters make decisions that always make sense given their circumstances. The whole power structure also has tremendous room to grow.

The narration is fantastic.

SPOILERS.
What I didn’t like is just all the torture. It permeates the entire narrative and happens to multiple characters. Even primary characters were only known though out most of book from that lens. At a certain point it just stopped adding value.

That being said I am writing this with a few chapters left. Maybe it will change, however I am having trouble finishing it because it just goes from brutal scene to brutal scene.

good

originality, twist and turns, corners. not what I expected from the author after listening to his other three books.

loved everything about the book perfect narration too. I just wish there were more works to purchase

story was outstanding loved the main characters loved the narration only wish there was a sequel
