About this listen

They want him dead, but he won't die.

Venir didn't choose to be the defender of this unforgiving world full of bloodthirsty, magic-wielding underlings set on world domination. The helm of power and his waraxe called Brool chose him. And there's no turning back.

With enemies closing in from all directions, Venir, his thief friend, Melegal, and their companions must battle through an endless cycle of backstabbing royals, bloody skirmishes, and waves of lies and deceit. Or see their home descend into total chaos and devastation.

The Darkslayer series is an epic sword and sorcery adventure set in a world where bored immortals play with the lives of the unsuspecting inhabitants. Fans of R. A. Salvatore's Drizzt Do' Urden, Frizt Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, David Gemmell's Druss the Legend, The Witcher, Raymond E. Feist's Pug the Wizard, or Robert E. Howard's Conan get delighted in the Darkslayer series. Perhaps you will as well.

While there are a heap of special effects and effort put into this book unfortunately the narrators massive pauses are enough to bring you out of the story and wonder is it broken. That combined with the narrators inability to understand the use of “‘s” is really frustrating trenous’s is pronounced trenouses not trenous.
After listening to the story for half an hour I started looking up other narrators for the same story but alas there weren’t any, so 40 something hours of 1.25 speed was still a struggle regardless of how good the story was. Not to mention the poor production which resulted in multiple sections being repeated it really is a shame that no one seems to have proof listen to the story before publishing oh and the high pitch whine in the background really gets on you nerves. I seriously considered refunding this book on more that 10 occasions and even considered trying to pirate the book only to better produce it removing all the unnecessary long pauses and the high pitch noice just to hand to back to audible so other customer get a product they deserve.
But once again have to commend them on the use of special affects

This was a struggle to listen to
