Publisher's summary

All in Voramis know the legend of the Hunter.

Relentless. Immortal. Death walking. The greatest assassin who ever lived.

Pay the master killer his due and the Hunter will execute any target, carry out any contract, no matter how impossible.

But when the Bloody Hand crime syndicate harms the innocents under his protection, they foolishly make an enemy of the one man they can't afford to anger. The price of the Hunter's vengeance is high-paid in blood and eternal damnation. Not even an army of crooks, cutthroats, and demonic creatures of nightmare can stand in his way.

He's far more than just one man . . . he's the Keeper-damned Hunter of Voramis.

this could have been 3 or 4 good books. way too many final type fights a good 1/3 was unnecessary.

Narrator

I LOVE these books, I have read and listened to all of the first versions that were released. I am now on book 4 of the newer revamped version. Saw the newer version on here and thought I’d give it a listen. Sadly the narrator’s voice feels to elegant and lacking of the gravel and darkness that Vietor had when portraying the Hunters voice.

Draws you in INSTANTLY

I was hooked within the first 2 minutes of listening to this. Unpredictable twists, great storytelling, and strong characters make this a must read for any fantasy fan.

The Hunter is everything a great assassin should be!! He's my top 3 for sure! I'm in love with the characters, the world, I laughed, I cried, I completely disappeared into this story!!
Absolutely loved it!! Cannot wait for the next one to be available on audible!

it's good 😃

it's a book called Assassin with John Lee doing the narration what's not to like. The story is interesting and as always John Lee is one of the best narrators. if you've gotten this far just get the book.

the beggar priests having a deeper connection to the hunter

Having listened to the original book of the hunter of voramis, this nice retelling makes the world of the darkblade bigger with returning characters from other books.

Not Peloquin’s best

Interesting storyline. But the fighting and numerous times the Hunter was on his last breath, got old quick. It seems there was a lot of repetitiveness to the plot. The characters had to say the same things over and over again. I think the Hunter was almost choked to death a good 45 times. By the end, it was just a slog to get through it. I’ve read other Andy Peloquin and this isnt his best.

DNF

Really interesting idea for a story but it really didn’t come together. The characters are not interesting and way too long winded in the telling.
