Publisher's Summary

Forsaken to be a killer and sent to be a destroyer, Sviska must choose his own path.

Sviska is a man of the shadows, an assassin without any one place to call his own. But in the Far North, he discovers a secret. Magic, long thought lost to the world, is alive. The genocide to destroy every elf, wizard, and sacred being of old is not yet complete. Sviska's masters work the strings of the world and he has been sent for a task he does not even fully understand yet. When at last he feels he has what he has always wanted, darkness falls upon the world.

Forced to rise up to face an enemy more terrible than any he has ever met, Sviska comes to a moral crossroad. The Rogues of Magic rise but will Sviska be the blade that unites them all or strikes those of magic from the world forever?

In this Tale of the Dwemhar trilogy, prepare yourself for a war that will bring about the gods of old, the remnants of the many races of magic, and follow a man in his journey to awaken that which sleeps deep within himself.

Contains the complete series (Books 1-3) of the Rogues of Magic.

Great story but hard to follow

Was a great story and performed well but very fast paced and hard to follow, if you’re not 100% focused he will miss what’s going on and ask what just happened, overall great experience

Great read.

I loved this book series when I read it some years ago and I was not disappointed with this reading. Great storyline and well narrated.

Reads like a D&D campaign… but with a crappy player.

Honestly, I liked it for the first couple of chapters, but then it kind of read like a D&D campaign where a player makes a cold-blooded assassin backstory, but then doesn’t really want to follow through with it… So, he just spends the game making friends and being nice to everyone, while displaying almost none of his “assassin skills” so the DM basically has to “railroad” the whole campaign because the protagonist does nothing to drive the story.
The main-character is basically bouncing around from place to place, while NPC’s (side characters) do everything important.

I listened up to chapter 20, and so far, the “protagonist” was bland AF. Honestly, I don’t know why he started as an “assassin”. He would have been more interesting if he actually was just a damn wine maker that was thrust into an adventure by xenophobic and magiphobic debt collectors or something. It’s like the first chapter was written by a different person. Thus the D&D player theory.

Anyway, I stopped reading after the third battle where the main character just watches and does nothing, while the NPC’s defeat the villain… Again.

The world is cool, and I enjoyed the main theme… but, The protagonist was a bit too shallow to keep my interest.

That’s my two cents. Download it and see what you think.

Couldn't get through it

Not very well constructed, almost no character development, just goes from one drama to the next

Like a really bad D grade movie

Narrator did the best he could, and the story itself wouldn't have been so bad, but..it truly was awful. Had to force myself to finish .. no depth to the characters - even after 3 books am left feeling like I hardly knew any of them, and some of those were way too pompous and grandiose. continuity errors, magic learned in a day by reading a book, travel from one 'Realm' to another within a day's travel??? Just .. awful. No thanks. Can I have my credit back? 😒

I couldn’t finish

Tim Gerard Reynolds is one of my favourite narrators which is why I tried this series. Even he could not rescue this story for me, so please don’t judge the narrator on this book alone. I listened to a couple of hours hoping it would get better . Sviska seems to have no idea what is going on when he arrives and just floats from one situation to the next with the listener none the wiser either. Maybe this was done on purpose so that we the readers can feel the confusion too. It just made me very frustrated. He seems to lack spark and drive, and simply gets pushed along by events around him. This doesn’t seem to fit with the role of assassin. The characters I’ve met so far all seem very stilted with awkward , forced conversations. I’ve been reading Brandon Sanderson and Michael J Sullivan so admit I have high expectations. Of course likes and dislikes regarding reading matter is highly subjective. Maybe it gets better later on but I think I will pass on this one.

Great story concept fallen short

Just very very immature construction of a story. Formulaic at pouts (not to be unexpected) but no depth to the transitions and characters. Even the blind Bloodhawk knowing that the Ax was glowing seemed “sloppy”. The concept while sound required so much more work. This read like a middling Screenplay rather than Epic Fantasy. I finished the trilogy but fought the urge to give it a miss even through to the end. The Narration was the only somewhat high point. Additionally, the reviews...come on! They are a blow to the credibility of the process, in my opinion.

Absolute shit

I disliked all of it. The story was boring and slow and the narrator was so dull he put me to sleep
