About this listen

Connor Magnuson is going to conquer Death itself.

A penniless drifter, Connor has survived the last eight years alone in a cursed woodland teeming with monsters that eat grown men whole. Shunned, forgotten, and with nowhere else to go, he looks death in the eye every night and draws his sword to face it. The forest, after all, burned the fear out of him long ago.

Still, it hasn't hardened the last shreds of his heart quite yet. When Connor hears a mysterious girl scream in the middle of nowhere, he ends up in a brutal battle that nearly costs him his life. His bravery does not go unrewarded, and in the aftermath of the fight, he finds himself bonded to the most infamous enchantment the world has ever seen: the Wraith King. The undead abomination grants him godlike power, but legendary magic always comes with a cost. Even as his fellow outcasts flock to him for help, Connor is branded as an outlaw. Kings and lords alike know where the wraith has gone, and they'll slit his throat to take it from him. To them, a peasant like Connor is unworthy. He's a mistake to be corrected, and nothing more.

But Connor is no ordinary man, and he'll drag those hunters to hell with him if that's what it takes to protect what is his.

it's pretty good

Good book not amazing but not bad either. would recommend. the plot does seem a little force along, like it doesn't flow naturally. my only real issue is the fights are way too long. no lethality, it's all tripping, kicking, short grappling, and swing 'n' miss. the big end fight makes the bad guy seem so op that it's unrealistic for the main characters to keep up the fight for so long. it would be different if they were all in heavy armour and had the protection to make so many mistakes swinging at each other, but they're all in cloth/light leather. so I find it very hard to believe all those kicks, trips and tackles hit but no real damage attack seem to connect. if I was to tackle someone to the ground the first thing I'd do is stap with any of the multiple daggers mentioned on the leads person. listening to the fights sound more like a Rocky boxing match then a sword fight with swords that have seemingly the same lethality as lightsabers. with such a fight it would be one or two mistake and dead, not the keep getting back up shit. this can happen in a boxing match but not a sword fight. I found the fight a bit dumb and pointless, and just wanted it to finish.
