Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Hamelin, a village separated from the rest of the world, has a deadly problem. Fierce, flying beasts ravage and cull the sparse human population, forcing Hamelins citizens to live within the safety of her boundaries. With no help in sight, the village leaders look to their god, the Provider, for salvation, and they unearth a chilling answer to their problem. The Tournament of the Kindred—a much-celebrated, barbaric event that pits four gladiators against each other in deadly combat.

Good story but not sure about the narrator
Reviewed: 08-02-24
Full disclosure, I received a free copy of the audiobook for a review. The title is somewhat deceiving, as the protagonist is no gladiator, but rather more of the magician type (or will be, eventually).
I will admit the story took a turn I did not expect in the least. It kept me engaged and made me wonder what the heck was going on. At first it seemed like a contained world, like a bubble, but the hints of a wider, richer world keep appearing.
The main criticism I have is the narrator. I’m not quite certain the voice is the best for certain characters, like Delgado or Neven, sound not like teens, but as if they were mere children. I think thicker voices would fit better.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
