About this listen
The Left Hand of God is a stunning first installment in a remarkable epic trilogy...
"Listen. The Sanctuary of the Redeemers on Shotover Scarp is named after a damned lie for there is no redemption that goes on there and less sanctuary."
The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a vast and desolate place - a place without joy or hope. Most of its occupants were taken there as boys and for years have endured the brutal regime of the Lord Redeemers whose cruelty and violence have one singular purpose - to serve in the name of the One True Faith.
In one of the Sanctuary's vast and twisting maze of corridors stands a boy. He is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old - he is not sure and neither is anyone else. He has long-forgotten his real name, but now they call him Thomas Cale. He is strange and secretive, witty and charming, violent and profoundly bloody-minded. He is so used to the cruelty that he seems immune, but soon he will open the wrong door at the wrong time and witness an act so terrible that he will have to leave this place, or die.
His only hope of survival is to escape across the arid Scablands to Memphis, a city the opposite of the Sanctuary in every way: breathtakingly beautiful, infinitely Godless, and deeply corrupt.
But the Redeemers want Cale back at any price... not because of the secret he now knows but because of a much more terrifying secret he does not.

hypnotic and terrifying
I read this book several years ago and there was always something about Thomas Cale and the and Redeemers stuck with me. Listening to it a second time did not disappoint. Although I would have enjoyed more landscape and battle descriptors, it is a great fable.

Good but not amazing
Takes a very long time to get into but it definitely grows on you. I am looking forward to the next book which will be make it break. Need more time to see if it will develop.

Not My Cup of Tea
I might be a bit hard but, I just couldn't get into this story. It is set in an undetermined time in an undetermined location. Too much fantasy and a not very believable story line.
Having said that, I didn't like Game of Thrones either but I did like the TV series.
