Feared by monsters.

Envied by men.

Craved by women.

Kaeden is a nomad who lives life on his own terms. He prefers the unbounded steppe over a cramped city, and allegiance to the sword over fealty to a king. When he does make the occasional foray into civilization, it is to procure cold mead, a hot bath, and a good woman. The latter preferably for an hour or less.

Life is great, until his wanderings bring him to a forest inhabited by nightmares. There, trapped beneath those lightless eaves, he is forced to ally with a mysterious woman whose cunning and beauty could prove to be his downfall.

Either way, one thing is certain: If he is to die, then he will do so covered in the blood of his enemies.

Note: This book contains violent scenes, unconventional thinking, and harem elements.

Unquestionably the best audio book I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve listened to a lot. What makes it different? Each and every character in the book has a completely unique voice, as if there are different actors. It’s uncanny how Austin Rising can change his voice to create the gamut ranging from the strong and noble Kaeden who follows his own code, to completely realistic human female characters, commanding English accents for kings and sorcerers, roguish voices for bandits, to even guttural-sounding monster voices, you name it. The story, on the other hand, feels short, and yet it’s a long book. You won’t want to stop reading, Isaac Hooke keeps you guessing and wanting more and more. Definitely worth listening to!

I was curious about this book and it was well reviewed. So I checked it out. I enjoyed the writing style, characters were developed at pace and it gave a lot of details. This book didn't just tell one story and then end in 5 to 6 hours as some others i have listened to lately. This gave a few stories all connected in one listen that some authors would stretch to 3 books. Austin Rising did a good job as well, this was my first time listening to him. I liked his pacing, pronunciation and his different voices for the characters. All in all I would definitely recommend this book and will check out others by the author.

Conan mixed with harem and a dash or romance. Austin Rising did a good job with the narration. Looking forward to more.

The Sword is an interesting mix of genres to me, part epic fantasy and part Harem Manga/Anime. I generally liked most of the action and battle sequences and the story was ok but the 'romance' in it was a bit too much like fan fiction and could be pretty explicit with odd descriptions, 'flower' was used way too often. This book definitely won't be for everyone and may offend some but I definitely could see others enjoying it quite a bit.

The narration by Austin Rising was quite good and really made the story pretty enjoyable. The story itself was pretty interesting and the characters were as well but it seems written as a teenage boys fantasy of how he would get all the girls and still be the good guy and also have all the guys like and worship him which just doesn't seem completely realistic. Overall it was a fun book and if you like or can get past the harem/sex aspects then it would be something you would enjoy.
