About this listen

All Joran wanted was a quiet life of research and study in his alchemy lab.

It didn’t seem like so much to ask.

But when an emergency at one of his family’s trading posts crops up, his father insists that Joran is the only one that can straighten it out.

The next day finds Joran packed and on the road to the empire’s southernmost province.

Little does Joran know that a simple business trip will turn into the most dangerous journey of his life.

An Unwelcome Journey is the first audiobook in a exciting new epic fantasy adventure.

Well written

This was well written and narration is good.
The world is mostly based on Roman empire with the addition of magic and alchemy for the fantasy setting.
I like the MC Joren and while the other characters aren't as well developed, they are interesting enough.

My main reservation is a personal dislike of a conquering empire with religious zelotry being the main beneficiary of the hero's success. Most of the book I was hoping he'd switch sides or that the natives would win against the odds. This made for an uncomfortable listening experience and a feeling of dissatisfaction at the 'happy ending' resolution.

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