About this listen
He was like a father to me...and I wanted to cut his throat.
In a world divided into four territories, each with their own unique sun, color, race, and culture, Esh is born and abandoned in the cruelest of all. The red territory of Reah. A land in which every day is an absolute struggle for survival.
One day, an elderly man discovers the boy mortally wounded on the side of the ash-filled streets and takes pity on him, a kindness unknown in the land of Reah. Then, using violent and unorthodox training, he teaches the boy the skills necessary to endure the harshness of the territory. Skills of a master assassin. Combat. Sorcery. Alchemy.
All is going well until a dark and forgotten energy finds its way into young Esh's body. Wreaking havoc on his mind, it threatens to drag his spirit into darkness.
If Esh doesn't use all his mental and physical strength to combat the ancient energy then he will surely be destroyed.

As far as my listening habits go, I average roughly a book a week. a solid 80% or so of the books I listen to are Dark Fantasy. I've listened to some great series such as Joe Abercrombie's world of the First Law, Andzrej Sapkowski's Witcher universe, many works of Brandon Sanderson and so on. what made me like this book is simply the fact I wanted to know what would happen next. all the best books never feel like a chore and this one was a fun and entertaining ride.
One critisism I do have is, the world could have been more developed. some scenes also felt a little bit rushed and skimmed over. I wouldn't have minded a bit more time be taken here and there to really flesh out the story and characters. I believe this is the author's debut novel and is a great beginning. I very much look forward to seeing what the future holds for the series.
A thoroughly enjoyable read. Can't wait for more
