About this listen

After untold centuries of absence, the evil Ancients have returned. Their magic appears unstoppable and their hunger for conquest is insatiable. To protect the country of Nia, Duchess Nadea and Scholar Paug make a desperate journey to find a human legend: a man known to have destroyed these Ancient foes with a powerful army.

But legends can lie.

When Paug and Nadea revive their hero from sleep, his virtue is far from clear.

Is he really their savior or their destroyer?

Contains mature themes.

Kinda lame

narrator was flat, no real inflection in his voice . While the story was interesting, the author apparantly wants to write pornos. while I'm no prude, by any means, I dont see how 20 minutes (multiple times) describing sex has anything to do with advancing the story. (They had sex, yay, now move the hell on).

A really likeable xenocidal maniac.

Story first, a great mythic hero/villain of the distant past is awoken from his millenia and a half slumber to fight the elves. He proceeds murder the hell out of people, tries to get laid and pieces together his tragic past from slowly returning memories.
All in all a great time.
Now the big issue is the narration. He can't seem to come up with more than the one voice, at least not for long. There was one guy who had a different voice at the beginning but that dropped by the end. This kind of thing I can ignore. When you have the dude do sex scenes it's so unbelievably awkward.
4/5, Story makes everything so worth.

Narrator

The narrator didn’t define his characters with inflections or voices if you didn’t pay attention all the characters sounded the same

I am so fucking excited to read this next book.

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks that this book is bad is an idiot it has a great story interesting characters Michael Scott Earle obviously knows a little bit about amnesia and how it affects people and most importantly I have never been happier to see a book where elves aren't the good guys nine times out of 10 in a book you hear that they're incredibly racist but not that there evil in general. This book was great the ending is what's making me need to read the next one immediately and I will purchase I cannot wait to finish this series and find out how it all turns out. the sex scenes but that's coming from someone who likes a good slow burn, were actually fantastic the voice actor was very good as well. reading this book makes me wish that Amazon would get their shit together because I am dying to finish the star Justice series and they own the copyrights but for some reason they refuse to release it if this is a middle-earth fantasy novel star Justice is a space Opera haremlet and the way that Michael Scott Earle writes I'm sure it would be just as monumentally good but sadly audible will only let you listen to the first book Amazon won't let you buy any of the books and I'm pretty sure the book is no longer on Kindle at all.

Good but

OK I have 2 problems with the boo. that said number one is that voice actor didn't have enough range in this voice and characters, and was monotone for the majority of the book. number two is that we really didn't need the second point of view from Pawg after the first two times and just feels like filler due to his lack of significance.

obvious first attempt by the narrator.

narrator read the entire book with no pitch or accent change so it was difficult to follow. who's speaking Kaiher? Pog? oh no that's Nadia

I really loved this premise for the story just not

the biggest fan of the mc I mean I get that the guy wants to get laid but pick some better times, and for how intelligent the mc usually is he should be able to do that. at least pawg makes the mc look perfect in comparison last complaint but most important I got really irritated with the POV of pawg he was already a pretty lame character I didn't enjoy having to listen to him one bit, and hoping pawg is dead for real. After that being said I must say I did enjoy the book and bought the next two books.
