About this listen

Ryuu is a boy orphaned by violence at a young age. Found by a wandering warrior, he learns he may have more strength than he ever imagined possible.

A quiet child, Moriko is forced into a monastic system she despises. Torn from her family and the forest she grew up in, she must fight to learn the skills she'll need to survive her tutelage under the realm's most dangerous assassin.

Young, beautiful, and broke, Takako is sold to pay for her father's debts. Thrust into a world she doesn't understand and battles she didn't ask for, she must decide where her loyalties lie.

When their lives crash together in a kingdom on the brink of war, the decisions they make will change both their lives and their kingdom forever.

If they can stay alive.

Twas pretty good aye

Overall very good, the story is excellent and while there is little variation in the voices put on for each character the Narrator delivers a rich and emotive performance.

Das Buch ist empfehlenswert

Der Sprecher ist in meinen Ohren miserabel, zerstört die ganze Geschichte. Das Buch kann ich jedoch empfehlen.

OMG worst thing I've read for a while

Couldn't finish so bad. The writing was stilted and awkward. Narrator made it worse, he was monotone and boring. Actually turn it off and sat staring at the back of the train seat for over an hour rather than listen to another second.

Wasn't able to make it to the end

Of the hundreds of audio books I have churned through this year, this was one of the worst.

The story was lacklustre. I found it boring for long stretches and failed to empathise with the main characters.

So the story was bad. But the Narrator was awful. Sometimes a good narrator can bring up a novel to the next level. This one took a poor one down to the lowest level for me.

Dropped the audiobook two-thirds of the way through.

Do not recommend.
