Overall a positive experience. Noticeably derivative of Tolkien in many aspects, to the point that it can be distracting. A bit too much focus on sex for my personal taste. I enjoyed the characters and think they are the strongest point.

I agree with most reviews that say characters were not developed enough. It was a good story that felt rushed in that regards. Great narration though.

Wonderful story and performance by the narrator. I wish more audiobooks had similar sound/music as part of the reading. Now on to book 2...

As usual Kay is an amazing author this book paints a picture of a vibrant world.
