Thought I’d try this book, author keeps popping up recommended. I do not recommend. Skipped to the end after 1/2 of book and couldn’t even listen to the last chapter. Great narration, tho.

Story
Turned from the path of the assassin, Asher roams the world no better than a nomad, with naught to offer but his sword and grit. But woe betide the monster that believes his sword and grit will not be enough. In a twisted chance of fate, the brash actions of Doran Heavybelly—a dwarven hunter with a lot to say—forces Asher back into the world of man. And so the ranger is brought into the light, into the gaze of Illian’s greatest crime guilds and onto the lawless island of Dragorn.

Story
The kingdoms of Osten Ard have been at peace for decades, but now, the threat of a new war grows to nightmarish proportions. Simon and Miriamele, royal husband and wife, face danger from every side. Their allies in Hernystir have made a pact with the dreadful queen of the Norns to allow her armies to cross into mortal lands. The ancient, powerful nation of Nabban is on the verge of bloody civil war, and the fierce nomads of the Thrithings grasslands have begun to mobilize, united by superstitious fervor and their age-old hatred of the city-dwellers.

Overkill on the various narrators
Reviewed: 10-10-20
Only needed one narrator. The woman was terrible, mix was bad, the second man was there for what? Rudnicki was great, but the punches were bad. He was the only narrator needed. Production quality, punches, various sonic variations and bad mix.

Really bad narration...
Reviewed: 08-18-20
I love N.K. Jemisin, but this choice of narrator was really bad. I suffered through all 3 books because the story was good. Narrator mispronounced many very common words, changed pronunciation of names from one book to the next, misused common words with double meanings, and used some pretty bad accents.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Dual narrators

Using two narrators was ok, except they pronounced key characters names differently. That bothered me. Shouldn’t that have been corrected in mixing?
