About this listen

A kingdom in danger, a great betrayal, a boy seeking to redeem his father's honor. Will he succeed in exonerating him and saving the realm from an enemy in the shadows before it’s too late?

Lasgol is the son of the traitor; the man who betrayed the kingdom and tried to kill the king. At the age of 15, he has endured a hard childhood. In his small village in the North, where he’s cornered and hated, his only companions are the mountains and ever-present snow. Yet he refuses to believe that his father is guilty, even though the king himself was a witness to the betrayal.

Lasgol is determined to clear his father's name, and to do this, he has only one option: attend the School of Rangers, a secret place where the respected and feared defenders of the lands of the kingdom are trained for four years. Going there is insane: Hate and death await him. But as the son of a Ranger, he's entitled to attend.

At the Camp he will find himself involved in political intrigues, disloyalties, and fights. He will encounter hatred and fearsome enemies, but also a handful of friends; other novices who are out of place like himself, determined to do whatever is necessary to make it through the first year alive.

This book was very entertaining, but followed the same basic story as most books from this genre, an underdog who is called on to became a hero in the attempt to discover the truth of his fathers death.
The world building is very interesting and exciting to listen to, and the characters all interesting in their own way. The question, however, still looms, was the Lasgol’s father really a traitor?

Great!

What a legend of a main character! He holds no grudges when everyone else would. He just keeps going and going!

I stopped reading, because Urvi puts his “said” before the noun and it bugged me, but I came back and I am so glad that I did.

Lasgol is a hero worth emulating. Viggo is a jerk that I have grown great admiration for, and I have a crush on Astrid, too.

Story and performance are both brilliant!

Lasgol makes me want to be a better man

This was a terrific story filled with light-hearted fun and easy to understand characters. Fun narration added to the enjoyment.

A Great Read

This highly under-rated series has almost everything you could want in a fantasy - action, magic, mystery, friendships, danger, romance...the list goes on. I particularly enjoy the world building in this series. I'm still amazed that I hadn't heard of it earlier, but once I started listening, I wasn't able to stop!

Excellent fantasy
