The Broken Heir

By: Jasper Alden, D.K. Holmberg

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

On his sixteenth birthday, Talen is given a magical birthright that forever changes his life.

When his family is slaughtered by a powerful sorcerer only known as the Golden Fool, Talen is sold into slavery and forced into the fighting pits.

There he finds violence and killing, but makes two friends who make the misery better. He must use his birthright—the ability to glimpse possible futures—to survive.

All he wants is vengeance. Find those responsible for killing his parents, and get to the Golden Fool. First, he must escape the pits, using his wits and his magical gift.

Even that might not be enough.

The Golden Fool trilogy begins with The Broken Heir.

the characters

it would have been absolutely great if not for the AI voice it was dry with no inflation or emotions in the future I'll be avoiding all AI voice narrated books

Ugg, they used virtual voice

It is really too bad that a virtual voice was used rather than a voice actor. I understand the desire to save money, but it is at the cost of poorer reviews and less purchases. I quite liked the book, but it is impossible for the virtual voice to understand the story, to emphasize some parts more than others, nor can it speak using different voices. What a waste. I would have given this book a 5 star rating if it had a better narrator.

AI voice is ok, but not a patch on real voice actors

Good start to a series, I like it so far, hopefully they can stick the landing.

Bad reading

Bad reading . Ai reader is terrible it’s a bad reading . A rare miss for this app… a bad reading. No to the ai reader

AI narration ruined what could have been a good book

I enjoyed the story, but the zero emotion zero acting voice made me wonder why they paid this man to narrate... only to hear at the end that it was Ai narration. If subsequent books are also narrated like this I will not be listening or purchasing any of them.
