Publisher's Summary

Fate of the Fallen is the start of a brand-new adventure from New York Times best-selling author Kel Kade.

Not all stories have happy endings.

Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride.

However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be or, failing that, how to survive.

great start to a new series

The narration is impeccable tho I've yet to hear anything less from nick podehl. The book is interesting with a good mix of dark fantasy and humour. The banter between two mcs is pretty funny tho sometimes u wonder why he responds lol. The finally was a surprising twist like the mc not sure I like it but it could go in a bunch of directions. Love the characters no poorly done females like her past work Frisha from her last series always made me cringe. Great start.

Too Short

I usually avoid audio books as short as this one when there are many books out there that have 3 or 4 times the content for the same price. I liked the previous series from this author, but this one feels a little off. Even though it's short it still feels stretched.
The main character is kind of irritating as are some of the secondary characters. I don't really care enough about any of them to get invested in their fates. The story is interesting, but a better writer could have covered it in far fewer pages. The second volume will have to be at least twice as long to get me to buy it, otherwise it just feels like a cash grab.

Great Book, Great Narrator

Let me start by saying Nick Podehl is an incredible narrator, I actually found this book while browsing his page and boy what a book.

This book is a has some top level story telling and world building. There were moments when I would be on a walk and just have to remove my earbuds for a few minutes to process what just happened. And that ending was so good.

It's not perfection though, there were a couple points where I thought a person's action goes against their character, and one specific point where I got bored about a quarter/third of the way in, but overall it was a great listen.

Highly recommended.

Another adventure fantasy with a great story path!

I love adventure fantasy stories and this is another one but I love the different paths each story takes. I think the author took a tipical path but the story was unique enough to make it different from other stories I've read. Overall I thought the story was great and can't wait for more!

Good but often confusing

The storytelling by Nick Podehl is flawless as usual. The thing is that the action change perspective really fast and it's often confusing.

Fantastic

Love Kel Kade, love Nick Podehl. No going to lie was a bit sceptical at first, especially being a huge of if the KDT series and being unsure of what to expect, but I loved the new story and can’t wait for the next entry. Also Nick Podehl of course blew me away once again with his performance. I can’t get enough of the two of them.

Bought by mistake

Bought this story by mistake thinking it was a continuation of Dark Tidings. Pleasant new series by Kel Kade.

It was pleasantly full of unexpected twists and new magics. Full of adventure, wisdom, chaos, and sanity!
