About this listen

Contains books one and two of Legend of Tal, a sword-and-sorcery, coming-of-age adventure.

A King's Bargain, book one

The legend of Tal Harrenfel is sung across the Westreach, and with each telling, the tales grow taller.

Though he's declared a hero by his king, Tal has never claimed to be more than a man. After three decades of fighting warlocks, killing mythical beasts, and hunting enchanted treasure, Tal has had enough. Running from the deeds of his past, he retreats to his home village under a different name and meets an unlikely companion: Garin, a village boy who dreams of making a name for himself and seeing the world beyond their sleepy town.

When Tal receives a mysterious visitor, both he and Garin find themselves thrown into a sojourn across the kingdom. Soon, they become embroiled in the plots of monarchs, on the frontlines of an ancient war, and at the mercy of a fabled sorcerer. Now Tal must live up to his legend, and Garin must discover his own power, to survive the forces pitted against them.

A Queen's Command, book two

The legend of Tal Harrenfel lives on, and a new song spreads across the Westreach.

Though Tal and Garin overcame one enemy, victory promises to be short-lived. Garin struggles with his inner demons. Tal is haunted by enemies and memories alike. And a long-kept secret has torn a rift between them.

But circumstances force them to continue their travels together. The roads from Avendor to Gladelyl, once the safest in the Westreach, are rife with danger. And Tal is bound to the commands of the Elf Queen whose intentions are unforeseeable. But reaching the elven realm is only the beginning of their troubles, for Gladelyl is in turmoil. The nobles grasp for power. The underclass and Eastern immigrants seek new rights. And an ancient enemy takes advantage of the chaos to turn them all against each other. Now Garin must come to terms with his demons.

Yes, it is in many ways a story that is familiar, but the world building and character development is great. I like the familiar feel of a traditional epic in a new place. I have spent a couple years trying to enjoy books that kept falling short. For me this one got everything right. The characters feel like home.

Wonderful traditional fantasy adventure

While some have pointed out Tal’s less than legendary moments as proof of an unbelievable plot, those moments underpin the main flaw of the hero character. It’s the man versus himself storyline and serves to help set the next leg of interactions between characters. Overall it was an entertaining tale, well told.

Fun and very well paced

There is a revelation in the end of book 2 that that was absolutely incredible, changed the whole premise of what I thought the book was about. I won’t say more but you should give this series a chance.

Did not see that coming! Start this book !

A well thought out stories that keeps you guessing. And this is one of my favorite narrators. If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings you will love it.

A classic fantasy. Epic

Thoroughly enjoyed the first two books and look forward to the story ahead. Hope to see all the questions answered and to hear more of the song.

Unexpected

The main characters Tal and Garin, share the spotlight as the two main protagonists switching perspective between the two. Tal is an alright character but Garin is the typical niave protagonist you often see in storys like these and can come off as annoying, thankfully though we don't follow Garin through the whole novel. Other than that the story and performance is overall decently good, not too special, not too predictable either just a decent solid story with good narration

Decent story and narrator

I will listen to the next books if they are available. I only 4 star for performance because the narrator does different voices for characters. those that do that always mess up with who is talking.

good story

I found the story line pretty good! Good character building and I like the narrators performance of the characters. It was easy to follow which characters were being represented. Wish that I didn’t have to pay for the sequels.

Good listen!
