About this listen

How far would you go to resurrect someone you love? Would you change who you are to show you belong?

The world of Avarin is tearing itself apart. The Domain worships life, its rulers lead eternal lives, and death is a shame that must not be mourned. For the clans to the south, however, death is all that keeps the Earth alive.

But old enemies are rising.

A madness spreads throughout the Domain, and Lynn, a rogue griffin rider in hiding, might be the only one who knows how to fight it, while Adrian, a Domain prince seeking to bring his dead loved ones to worthiness, leads the Domain armies against the madmen.

The clans suffer a madness of their own. As the land itself begins to wither away, Nasha, a cursed hunter and lifelong outcast, desperately fights for belonging in the Ronar, while her clan seeks to heal the land.

Old beliefs will be challenged as the people of Avarin fight to save it…before death comes for them all.

A sweeping epic fantasy saga where religion and politics are one, magic brings terror into the hearts of men, and a looming blight threatens to tear everything down

A touch of light took a little while to truly grab me, when it did, I was enthralled. The narrator, Kevin Kemp is amongst the best I've heard. Excellent fantasy.

A strong beginning

If you are a fan of Epic fantasy, religious and political intrigue, a massive fantasy world, blockbuster worthy battles and plot twists and turns that would keep a conspiracy theorist happy, than this a book that'll fit all of those desires.

BLOOD HOLDS TIES

The depth of world building and culture in this book is epic and on a massive scale. The world feels lived in and vast.

Told in multiple POVs from various factions in this world, Abdalla leaves us breadcrumbs along the way as he opens plot holes and gleefully rubs his hands as readers come up with theories (or so I imagine).

I thoroughly enjoyed this read and can't wait to see where Abdalla takes us next. I highly recommend reading along with the audiobook as Kevin Kemp does an outstanding job as narrator.

Epic Fantasy done well
