About this listen

The best assassin in the world doesn’t come cheap. Betraying him will cost your soul.

The Hunter is a name feared by all in Voramis. He is an outcast, driven by a cursed dagger with an unquenchable thirst for blood and death.

Yet he follows one simple code: Kill those who truly deserve to die. His creed is put to the test when, deceived by a shadowy employer, he unknowingly slaughters an innocent man.

With the most powerful criminal organization in the city after his head, the Hunter must fight for his life and find a way to atone for his mistake. When his enemies harm the people under his protection, it will take much more than an army criminals to stand in the way of his revenge.

I had wanted to explore more of Peloquin’s work after listening to the Queen of Theives series to see if a) it had a different narrator and b) if Peloquin’s writing had matured with experience.

Unfortunately, this latest book seems to be an even earlier work re-edited so the story isnt a step up. Repetitive, relentless and full of bad, one-dimensional character decisions that made me furious.

I’d recommend Queen of Theives series over this one, (even with its flaws. That’s a series I find my mind wandering back to periodically. Worldbuilding, crunchier plot and actual character arcs. All of which are sadly absent in this series-starter, I’m afraid.

Repetitive, relentless, one dimensional

It’s a good story, just personally I find there are others more interesting. If you like this genre, it was well written and spoken.
