À propos de cet audio
David Farland's acclaimed Runelords series introduces a world where the social structure is based upon the magical exchange of "endowments" such as stamina, grace, and wit. The Runelords are those who receive these endowments from their vassals, becoming superhuman in exchange for the responsibility of caring for those they have deprived of strength, or beauty, or sight.
Young Prince Gaborn of Mystarria is traveling in disguise on a journey to ask for the hand of the lovely Princess Iome of Sylvarresta. Armed with his gifts of strength and perception, the prince and his bodyguard stop at a local tavern, where they spot a pair of assassins who have their sights set on Princess Iome's father. As they race to warn the king, they realize that more than the royal family is at risk—the very fate of the Earth is in jeopardy.

Top shelf
A little graphic at times and talk about a depressing first few hours. But it is so worth it, so much action, characters are amazing and the world is very descriptive. Would put this nearly on par with the storm light archive or wheel of time. Very well done, I look forward to what’s to come in this series.

Got my imagination flowing!
Found this book captivating and original. Loved it and am so stoked there're more! If you're looking for a new series to let your imagination play and create a world and rich characters, give this one a go.
Big fantasy fan, and found this book while browsing Ray Porter narrations. RP is a bit more stiff in this series than in others, but it suits the story and narrative well - excellent narration.

A masterpiece in the making
I really enjoyed the first book of the Runelords series a really great start to a great series, I found it more engaging and entertaining than the first book of The Wheel of Time series.

Better than expected
Audible seems populated with mass production click bait series that never have satisfying endings, but "cliff hang" as a con to keep selling the industrial product. This is not that. It strikes a balance of delivering a complete story while hosting open questions to sustain a sequel. I did not end feeling cheated, but rather likely to read the next book.
The story itself does not qualify as high art, to my measure, but I wasn't looking for nor expecting that. If you're looking for Tolkien or Salvatore, you'll be a bit disappointed. If you want some good fun, with many inspired moments, for example as a distraction while driving, you'll be rewarded.

Not for me
Well written, well read. I just couldn’t get into the story. You may really like it but I found the story a little complicated.

Got as far as I did because Ray Porter is great
With any other narrator I would have stopped this book after a few chapters. As it is I made it to chapter 10. There are a lot is inconsistencies but what finally had me putting this book away was that it had a lot of fat that could be cut. The redundancies in explaining about the characters and the scenes that dragged on were just too much to bear with.

Ray Porter’s skills were wasted
To be clear: I love Ray Porter’s narration skills. That man could read a laundry list and I’d listen to it twice. However, this book seems to handcuff Ray. The story is plodding and full of inconsistencies (sometimes within the same paragraph!) and the author takes himself too seriously. Granted, Farland presents a unique take on magic with this world’s use of runes, but spends and inordinate amount of time going over the “rules” of how these runes work. To be honest, it reads closer to a D&D gaming rules book as opposed to an engaging story.
