Wayward Soldiers

The Tyrus Chronicle, Book 2

De: Joshua P. Simon

Narrado por: Steven Brand

A father. A mentor. A leader. Still, a soldier.

Tyrus expected his world to change once the Geneshan War ended. He expected it to change more once he finally reunited with his family.

He did not foresee that the biggest upheaval to his world would be caused by Turine sorcerers tampering with an ancient Geneshan artifact in the capital city of Hol.

The land stands devastated and covered in a haze. Sorcerers are unable to use their power. The king and capital are likely destroyed. Raiders seek to profit in a world without law.

Tyrus decides that he must get his loved ones to the safety of the Southern Kingdoms if they are to have any chance of surviving. The quick flight he plans turns into a labored journey when local townsfolk join his party. Expecting only new dangers now before him, Tyrus fails to anticipate old ones haunting his steps.

Good story, but falls a little short but not bad

This is the second book in the series, and has just enough action to keep it interesting, so I'll be grabbing the 3rd. Characters, some you love, some you despise, which tells that they are well written. One complaint, and I've seen it in most of reviews and now realize they weren't exaggerating....is how he goes on and on and on and on....get the picture...of his late wife. Very tedious and gets old very fast. Some parts of the book you may question why it's even there, but I feel it's because you're getting a sense of how Tyrus thinks. All in all good book...just skip the pages of him going on about his ex wife, and you'll probably like it.

It just keep getting better and better.

What did you love best about Wayward Soldiers?

This book comes ad you whit everything, love, drama, comedy, sadness and much more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked all the characters for the differed personalty they all have, they all have fun and very hard parts.

More stupidity

Wasted my credit on this series but it thought me a lesson don't buy an entire series because you will be disappointed. I can't believe this MC is so stupid isn't unreal. This guy is supposed to be a great strategist and planner, but couldn't negotiate a simple plan for his entire family and group to stay as one unit or to be more than a sergeant. He would rather send his family into the unknown by themselves rather than keep them with him where he would keep them safe and keep training them. It destroys the story and makes it hard listen to such a great reading done by Steven Brand.

Slow

this one slid a bit. the first one was engrossing. the narration and characters were good. however the plot was a bit weak. inexplicably extreme anti-veteran violence immediately upon returning home was odd but I went with it. unfortunately the plot drags and does not progress much with this installment. first book was 4 stars I spite of the flaws. the second 3. I will give it one more
