The Echoes of Fate, a Prophecy Uttered Unto the World a Thousand Years Ago, Cannot Be Denied....

Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium—elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

Unaware of the shadow that looms in the east, the six kingdoms of man are fractured, unallied, and clawing at each other's gates for more power.

This isn't just war set to ravage the land, but a slaughter—the world of man cannot hope to survive.

Thrown into the heart of this war is a man known by many names; an Outlander of the wilds, an assassin, a ranger. Asher was born a thousand years ago, to a life he doesn't remember. Forty years of brutal training and killing for money has beaten the earliest years of his life away, leaving his ties to the oldest of evils a mystery to all....

Geralt of Rivera goes to Middle Earth

I pick this book on a whim because I just finished reading the stomlight archives & wheel of Time and damn this book surprised me with how many races their are in this world and I honestly missed the whole LOTR feel and this book delivered thanks to the author and narrator for doing an awesome job I shall move on too next book.

Tough start but was sucked in afterwards.

I wasn't impressed by the initially. Listened to it for 2 hours and was just confused, had to start again in order to grasp everything. After few hours the story sucked me in though and I went on to get the next book.

read

this book was beautifully read and wrote, I can not wait for the next one.

Just my kind of story

Really liked it.
My genre. I like this kind of Tolkienian setting.
Liked the amount of swashbuckling, plenty of action to make me not want to put it down.
Characters I liked. Characters I did not like. Nice.
Enough plot complexity, not too much. Makes it easy to check in for a 20 minute listen on the way to work without being lost.
If any criticism, dialogue could have been . . . more thoughtful and interesting. Kind of simple. The characters conversations never made me laugh or cry.
The reader - no complaints.
I just ordered book 2.

Just Wow!!!

Just from the get go you could tell that the book is fantastic. I don't like the narrator from previous books however in this book he was purely fantastic
