Read this book back in junior high, back in 2010. A lot of books I read back then were a little childish, but when I went back to listen to this one I was pleasantly surprised. The storytelling and character building are really well fleshed out. Had trouble putting this one down, excited to go through the rest of the Demon Cycle series again 🙂

Narrator's voice fit Arlen really well.

Enjoyed the story. It was better than expected. It did however move a little slower than I would have liked, they story took a long time to "get there". I did not enjoy the very long pauses between chapters. But overall it was good.

Better than expected

I absolutely loved this book. Arlan's evolution hit home. The magic system is very unique. The characters were very human. Peter Brett this is my first book of yours I've read, and I must say I consider you one of my favorite authors now. The voice actor who narrated the book was excellent. Keep em coming! On to the Desert Spear! #Audible1

Masterful!

Great job by the narrator and an awesome story if you stick thru to the end. But I cant for the life of me understand why some writers start the first books with hours of negativity and the mcs catering to the worst examples of humanity. if they would only stand up for themselves I'd understand but just taking the abuse is a terrible way to gain respect for your characters. grit my teeth countless times thru the first 5 chapters. I wanted lisha to smack her mom so much I think I died alittle inside when it never happened.

why do writers hate ppl so much
