About this listen

A usurped prince prepares to take up the mantle of a deadly assassin and reclaim his kingdom, his people, and his slain gods in this epic fantasy from a USA Today bestselling author.

Cyrus was only twelve years old when his gods were slain, his country invaded, and his parents—the king and queen—beheaded in front of him. Held prisoner in the invader's court for years, Cyrus is suddenly given a chance to escape and claim his revenge when a mysterious group of revolutionaries comes looking for a figurehead. They need a hero to strike fear into the hearts of the imperial and to inspire and unite the people. They need someone to take up the skull mask and swords and to become the legendary "Vagrant"—an unparalleled hero and assassin of otherworldly skill.

But all is not as it seems. Creating the illusion of a hero is the work of many, and Cyrus will soon discover the true price of his vengeance.

If you like David's Shadow dance series, you'll like this too. They have a very similar feel about them.

Another solid story!

Honestly, I think I'm just going to have to actually read this one to decide whether or not I like the story itself. The narrators are just shy of monotone, not to mention the number if mispronounced words throughout the entire book. I'm not even going to bother with the rest of the series as audiobook, the story has potential, I just can't tell if it's actually good because the horridness of the narrators make it so hard to focus on the story.

just rough

I loved this book and Devante Johnson did great but I dreaded every time the female characters came up because Imani Parks could not voice the characters well at all. If they keep her maybe she won’t sound so monotone in the next book and actually convey emotion through her reading. Honestly I can’t wait for the next book this is my third series I’ve started by Dalglish and I’m ready for more, hopefully we won’t have to wait long.

Great Book but Imani isn’t right

enjoyed tge story immensely... my only problem is with tge female narrator, her voice is fine but her reading and cadence make it hard to follow at times. she takes a sentence and turns it into 2 or 3 sentences because of her pauses which sometimes changes tge context of the sentence. Still.. I loved the story and I am eager to start book 2

really enjoyed it

I enjoyed the story but the narrators read so slow
it's almost painful to listen to at times. the male narrator isn't so slow ( I only had to speed him up to 1.20) but the female narrator robs every scene of any intensity or action because she's reading one word every three seconds.

that being said this was a very enjoyable first installment and it's got me excited and curious about what come next

lackluster narration

The book itself was OK, but the narrating was slow and monotone. I had to accelerate the listening speed just to bear it.

Slowest narration I’ve heard

I’ve listened to many audiobooks where the narrators help make them wonderful. This book is the opposite. The male narrator speaks like William Shatner and cannot read an entire sentence without multiple, inexplicable stops. The female narrator is just disappointing. What should have been an enjoyable listen became a tortured event I had to stop many times and step away from just so I could get through it.

Poor narration
