The Traitor God

Age of Tyranny Series, Book 1

A city threatened by unimaginable horrors must trust their most hated outcast, or lose everything, in this crushing epic fantasy debut.

After 10 years on the run, dodging daemons and debt, reviled magician Edrin Walker returns home to avenge the brutal murder of his friend. Lynas had uncovered a terrible secret, something that threatened to devour the entire city. He tried to warn the Arcanum, the sorcerers who rule the city. He failed. Lynas was skinned alive and Walker felt every cut. Now nothing will stop him from finding the murderer. 

Magi, mortals, daemons, and even the gods - Walker will burn them all if he has to. After all, it wouldn't be the first time he's killed a god....

Always a pleasure to find a new author and narrator.

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of this Audiobook. I do enjoy a bit of death and in depth detail as to how wizards and mages accomplish it.
I recommend this book very highly if you enjoy the likes of Joe Abercrombie. I am not really comparing these authors. I just lack the intelligence to convey the talent that has been crafted together.
Forgive my shortcomings. And I will leave you with the truth. Purchase this Audible Book and I am sure that you will enjoy it. Irony…

good story, problem with focus

amazing story however the author has a problem keeping priorities straight around chapter 20. wish the Mc would stop jumping around with random thoughts in the middle of serious situations

Difficult to finish

Except for the MC being a roguish, uninteresting mage, the supporting characters being mostly relegated to tertiary roles, unending world and atmosphere building and a razor thin plot it had some good points. I did like the boss battle at the end.

Beautiful

Main character is interesting and engaging, has a great arc
The performance by the narrator is top notch and the perfect voice for Walker
Engaging. Would highly recommend to anyone

Good book with an interesting premise

The Traitor God is an enjoyable grimdark tale with an interesting protagonist and world.
I enjoyed the ride, especially Paul Woodson, which I'd now like to hear narrate my autobiography. That man voice is smooooth. His performance was excellent, the only minute observation is that characters' voices are a bit too similar.
The plot itself is ok, it didn't hook me at first but got me towards the end.
I also appreciated the setting, even if I wished some parts of the mythos were explored more thoroughly. Some concepts are not explained properly and left me the curiosity.
Another small thing is the level of grimdark being forced: I read almost exclusively said genere and I felt the amount of filth, guts, shit, piss and blood was excessive. The book centered the genere even with less mention of said bodily fluids.
All in all, a good read!
