About this listen
Centuries ago, the followers of the new gods defeated the old gods and the folk of legend, banishing them from the world of man. With their departure, magic faded from the land.
The Milesian Accords had provisions for a new challenge, though, and the Exiled Gods have sent their minions back to our world to seek out a champion to fight for them and a druid able to wield the magic needed to fulfill the challenge.
A descendant of the druid who participated in the original challenge, Liam Knox doesn’t know anything about the Accords or his ancestors, but those seeking to maintain the status quo are hunting him, and the beings of myth are doing their best to convince him to help the Exiled Gods return to the world of man, bringing magic back with them.
Liam is faced with a choice he doesn’t want, and if he chooses wrong, he risks more than his own life - he could end the world as we know it. And he’s running out of time to decide.

decent to pass the time
the world building and characters are okay and entertaining, but the actual plot is not great. the book introduces a quest and the book doesnt even touch on it at the ending. half of the chapters were all fillers and drama that doesnt feel like the actual story. you spend time reading/listening to unimportant characters and side stuff that is all fluff.
the voice actor is good but his tone, intonations and accent isnt really for general narration. he is very characteristic/unique to the point that he should be doing 1 or 2 characters, and not the whole book or narrating it.
its free for a reason. so yeah. have a go.

poor choice of ending
listen to 10hrs of a book to finish with a minor skirmish on a mountain without anything really having been achieved. it would have been better to finish this book with the storm monster.

Good, but books 2 and 3 unavailable
Good story, likeable characters. But I was annoyed to find it ended abruptly and the others in the series are not available in Australia.

A dull and tedious slog
I hate to be harsh on books but this was just not good in any sense. The relationships between characters was forced with what little growth their was equally as forced. The story lacked any original ideas and while the narrator was not terrible, the sweedish accent was just painful.

Good mythology and narrator- awful everything else
I actually think I would have loved this story if it was not for the sheer amount of vulgar unnecessary sexual content. I actually felt physically ill listening to some of it. Crude and creepy. None of the male characters presented as safe, they were all leering creeps. The female cast had zero thoughts of their own, they were all there for the male characters to gawk at and use.
The actual story, old gods vs new gods was cool and I am curious where that part of all this goes. But I cannot stomach another page of this. So sadly book two and anymore will remain unread.
The story ends just as it’s actually starting, had the author actually written the story and less crude sexual content- it would have been a better book.
