About this listen

Ethshar and the Northern Empire have been at war for hundreds of years. Hardly anyone alive remembers why, or over what. The tempest, turmoil, and war are endless, and the killing more endless still. The war has become not just a way of life, but an institution; no one dares to dream that it could end. Not even Valder of Kardoret, Ethsharitic Scout, trapped behind enemy lines.

But now everything has changed: at a moment of great need, a hermit wizard crafted Valder a magic sword called Wirikidor - a blade at once cursed and enchanted, a misenchanted blade that makes him unbeatable.

Soon the tides of battle will turn, and once they've turned they'll turn forever.

A great book ruined by a terrible performance.

This is a great book, but the narrator did a terrible job. He seemed disconected from the text. Every sentence was a declaration (all punctuation was seemingly replaced with exclamation points!). There was no subtlety to his reading. It just seemed like a technical excersize for the narrator who strung together a series of words and sentences until it was finished. It was only my love of the book and author that got me to slog through it (although, its worth noting it became easier to listen to at 2x speed).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
