About this listen
Immortals rule unquestioned. A family of smugglers gets in the way.
The shocking death of an immortal sends a master of shadows on a quest for the killer. Jon Therman and his family of sunrock smugglers stumble into this manhunt. A former slave, he only desires to live unnoticed and to avoid the corruption of the world. But when an immortal pursues his children, Jon retaliates.
His daughter, Ella, attempts to rescue her friend from a ritual sacrifice. To do so, she must defy the commands of her fellow smugglers. Jaded spy Shane zem’Arta searches for his missing commander. His orders complicate Ella’s effort to save her friend and Jon’s mission to protect his family, leading these old friends on a perilous adventure.
Smugglers, rogues, and lords clamber to stand against a powerful cult of immortals. Can these fragile factions set aside their mistrust to survive a burgeoning war, or will they fall divided?
WHEN AN IMMORTAL DIES, NO ONE MOURNS BUT PEOPLE NOTICE.———————
Remnant, the first installment of the epic flintlock fantasy series, The Palimar Saga, introduces a world of magic, trolls, shapeshifters, and guns. Embark on this gripping gaslamp adventure filled with magic, intrigue, and battle. With a richly detailed world reminiscent of works like The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss and The Powder Mage Trilogy by Brian McClellan, Remnant presents a realm where immortals walk among us, and every action carries weighty consequences.

The first few chapters set up what I thought was going to be a very interesting story about a smuggler setting up a new home for an outcast nation without a country. Then the story started jumping around.
At points this book was hard to follow and I didn’t feel like I had a cohesive story until 2/3rds through the book. At that point I felt like I was finally able to understand what was going on.
I am looking forward to the next part of this story, now that I feel I understand what is going on.

The writing style of this novel is tight and action driven, filled with punchy verbs. Each chapter ends with a gripper that is often either a surprise, a shock, or a punch line. I loved the dialogue. It is often pithy, humorous, insightful, or haunting. Humor is threaded through this intense battle-driven story that kept me on my toes and delighted me with surprise.
I loved that the main characters grow into their strengths or powers through training, hard work, determination, or difficult circumstances, rather than the overdone pattern of characters inheriting powers that they can instantly wield after being clueless and resistant. The main characters are varied but all are interesting, complex, and honorable.
The expansive world unfolds through the action that follows the story line of several characters who merge about halfway through the novel. Since the core of the story is a family saga, it’s appropriate for a mature, well-read child who loves fantasy adventure. FYI: there are a few swear words, but if your kids have read Harry Potter (which includes them a few times) they’ll be able to handle this story and its level of evil, darkness, and battles.
It’s an intense, thrilling read that drew me into a world where I cared deeply about the outcome of the main characters. I highly anticipate book two.
FYI: the Palimar Saga author website gives detailed information, such as a map of Palimar and a complete glossary of terms. This was helpful to consult while listening to the story.
