Summary
Men are more easily broken than myths.
Emperor Cynead has usurped command of the Memoridons - Tower-controlled memory witches - and consolidated his reign over the Syldoonian Empire. After escaping the capital city of Sunwrack, Captain Braylar Killcoin and his Jackal company evade pursuit across Urglovia, tasked with reaching deposed emperor Thumarr and helping him recapture the throne. Braylar's sister, Soffjian, rejoins the Jackals and reveals that Commander Darzaak promised her freedom if she agreed to aid them in breaking Cynead's grip on the other Memoridons and ousting him.
Imperial forces attempt to intercept Braylar's company before they can reach Thumarr. The Jackals fight through Cynead's battalions but find themselves trapped along the Godveil. Outmaneuvered and outnumbered, Braylar gambles on some obscure passages that Arki has translated and uses his cursed flail, Bloodsounder, to part the Godveil, leading the Jackals to the other side. There, they encounter the ruins of human civilization, but they also learn that the Deserters who abandoned humanity a millennium ago and created the Veil in their wake are still very much alive. But are they gods? Demons? Monsters? What Braylar, Soffjian, Arki, and the Jackals discover beyond the Godveil will shake an empire, reshape a map, and irrevocably alter the course of history.

glad I stuck with it
1st book was a bit slow and drawn out but like any other series you want to know what happens to the characters. not the best mythical story I've listened to but not the worst.

Disappointed
Disappointing, such a good concept originally that kept me going through the first two book , I thought building upto a great ending which unfortunately was a major anticlimax. Too rushed I thought, too many unanswered questions?

Average at best
On the whole an average at best listen. Very little happening in the first two books all the action in the last five chapters of the last book. It was a little wordy overly descriptive when it was uncalled for and not descriptive enough when needed. Character development wasn’t there i don’t know hard to explain but as soon as I read Druss or Magician I got to know the character that wasn’t there they were a little bland. Use of one expletive in particular started to grind my nerves and the repetitive use of the word plague/plaguing made the book a difficult listen.
