À propos de cet audio

'We live as men - but fight as gods.'

Born on the gallows, the corpse of his mother swinging from the rope above, the villagers brand him The Bane of the North and leave him out for the Fug to claim - a deadly fog ruled by Draugr - Viking warriors that had long ago fallen in battle. They didn’t expect to find him the next day, tattooed with the mark of an ancient god.

Fifteen winters later - ridiculed, scorned; but never broken, Bane forges a life as a forager, surviving between Castle Garik and a looming mountain that legend says contains the body of a Norse god. In a strange twist of fates Bane discovers that the mark gives him abilities beyond that of mortal man, and along with his lineage and a blood link to the god, his journey unfolds, fraught with danger and purpose.

As the drums of war close in, and the time of men comes to an end, Bane could be the North’s only hope.

Like the build of the characters, love the pace. The orator brings the story to be life.

Good storyline, good pace.

I don't even know where to begin. Hero's tales are always a bit over the top with the whole down and out protagonist who slowly becomes the hero to end all heros, but this takes it to new heights. The protagonist has no depth whatsoever, which you can also say about every other character. There is never any motivation given for any of the characters actions. They all just act in the most cliched way possible. The best way I can describe it is that it's like a below average video game story wise. Things just happen and people just do things to move the story along - this isn't good in a video game, but at least the gameplay distracts you from the poor writing. No such luck here! Avoid this unless you just don't value your time or money.

Chalk full of cliches, plot holes, and terribly lacking depth.
