The Unsung.

De: Harley J. Sims

Narrado por: Harley J. Sims

This is Norráma. It is now the age of life. Everything that breathes has a soul. Man is but one of the world’s children.

Knaks is a kingdom of men. Its king is descended from Woden himself. He will not share the land his ancestors have housebroken.

But the world is older than this one age. Forgotten horrors writhe beneath its newborn skin. Glory seekers, desperate for renown, prod every boil they can find. And what bursts forth, not all of it can be stopped.

A self-taught swordsman from the downfallen North. A great tuskcat, his steed and soul-brother. A demoniacal warrior-wizard wielding powers he does not understand. A thuggish priest. A man of nine bloods, whose genetic roulette has made him a superman. What they awaken overflows the scales of good and evil and threatens to drown the very world they sought to champion.

A masterwork of worldcraft; a tribute to its genre; a work of fantasy decades in the making. The Unsung. explores the edge between boldness and blindness, pitting indomitable hope against devastating loss and asking what it is to live by the words "If you’re not remembered, you never existed".

Masterpiece

A brilliant work of heroic literature that creates a new world for fantasy readers.
If you love J.R.R. Tolkien’s immersive creations, you should read this book, or better yet, LISTEN while it is read to you.
An escape into a finely crafted, multi-layered story complete with distinct languages, lost cities, ogres, fairy roads and towering Kings.
Enjoy.

Distracting

I went with this purely based on reviews, not realizing that there was only one review- my bad! The writer reads the story and will switch to a different language often enough to be incredibly distracting. It's a little like listening to a story written in your native language and then use another language in each sentence not just once in a while. You need to understand the context first before bringing in an unknown, especially when listening. He is also not a good reader because there is too much monotone. Consequently I could not go any further before returning it.
