À propos de cet audio
Many tales are told of the Syldoon Empire and its fearsome soldiers, who are known throughout the world for their treachery and atrocities. Some say that the Syldoon eat virgins and babies-or perhaps their own mothers. Arkamondos, a bookish young scribe, suspects that the Syldoon's dire reputation may have grown in the retelling, but he's about to find out for himself. Hired to chronicle the exploits of a band of rugged Syldoon warriors, Arki finds himself both frightened and fascinated by the men's enigmatic leader, Captain Braylar Killcoin. A secretive, mercurial figure haunted by the memories of those he's killed with his deadly flail, Braylar has already disposed of at least one impertinent scribe...and Arki might be next. Archiving the mundane doings of millers and merchants was tedious, but at least it was safe. As Arki heads off on a mysterious mission into parts unknown, in the company of the coarse, bloody-minded Syldoon, he is promised a chance to finally record an historic adventure well worth the telling, but first he must survive the experience! A gripping military fantasy in the tradition of Glen Cook, Scourge of the Betrayer explores the brutal politics of Empire-and the searing impact of violence and dark magic on a man's soul.

Not the most exciting
The narration is pretty decent, I like it. The story however, didn't really grab me. It's interesting enough, I'll finish the series I guess. Not sure it's worth an Audible credit, only 10 hours long, thankfully the next two books are 20 hours each. I didn't find it very exciting or "gripping". It mentions magic numerous times but has very few examples, other than one magical weapon that doesn't do very much. It mentions a "god veil", some history of ancient gods who left humanity, but again, no depth, and no relation to the story.

Excellent First Person Peripheral
I think what really made the story was the excellent use of first person peripheral. Our protagonist is a dark and brooding character who we slowly learn more about more about. Our narrator is likeable and part of the story, but does not really drive the plot. The grim dark elements are top notch and the story features magic without having it be just magic. There is a heavy cost to it, and swords might still win the day. Really enjoyed!
