Story
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Story
Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He’s also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he’s worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity and all too often he’s become a hero, his very names passing into legend: Acaelus Thorne, Yric the Black, Hrothan Steelbender, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Nimble.

Publisher's Summary
Sometimes a girl is touched by mother war
Thorn is such a girl. Desperate to avenge her dead father, she lives to fight. But she has been named murderer by the very man who trained her to kill.
Sometimes a woman becomes a warrior.
Fate traps her in the schemes - and on the ship - of the deep-cunning minister Father Yarvi. Crossing half the world to find allies against the ruthless High King, she learns harsh lessons of blood and deceit.
Sometimes a warrior becomes a weapon.
Beside her on her gruelling journey is Brand, a young warrior who hates to kill. A failure in his eyes and hers, he has one chance at redemption. And weapons are made for one purpose. Will Thorn forever be a tool in the hands of the powerful or can she carve her own path? Is there a place beyond legend for a woman with a blade?

hard not to compare narrators
narration is bland and monotone in character and delivery.
especially compared with Steven Pacey
which I'm sure, most who bought this audiobook were expecting, if not Steven Pacey, none the less an epic performance.
nope, weirdest choice. I'd have awaited some other talent. story is good. makes me decide to begin reading again instead of audiobooks slavery.

WOW and here he is!
Now he has my attention. I reviewed the first book and said it was tame for Abercrombie which makes sense because I think he aimed the trilogy at young adults. I prefer him writing his dark adult fantasy, but you know, when I got to this one, book 2, and the character viewpoint changed and the story got so much better and I was glued to every page - well, I thought HERE HE IS! He is truly a GOD in the fanatsy genre - for all adults young and old!
