Myranda Celeste is a young woman more interested in staying alive than being a hero. Orphaned by a continent-spanning war that has gone on for decades too long and shunned for failing to support it, she has been on the move since she was only a child. One can hardly blame her when she thinks that the chance discovery of a fallen soldier's priceless cargo is the moment that will change her life. No one could predict just how great that change would be. It will lead her through an adventure of rebels and generals, of wizards and warriors, and of beasts both noble and monstrous. Each step of the way will take her closer to the truth of her potential, of the war, and of the fate of her world.

This was a simple good vs evil high fantasy novel. A real fun read with some truly loveable characters made real for me by the excellent narrator. Well worth a read.... Or listen.

Great story

Where does The Book of Deacon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This story is great but could use some work, there is something great about it, but it could be better. Worth listening too, but not as good as some of the others I have in my library.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Book of Deacon?

The time spent in the belly of the beast was great.

What three words best describe Karyn O'Bryant’s performance?

It wasn't a bad performance by Karyn O'Bryant, the voices were all unique and recognizable each time; however, there was times in the narration where it was the exact cadence and pacing for telling a bedtime story and made me a bit sleepy, especially when I listened to this all in one go and this is a long book so been up a long time listening.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes definitely. The story was packed with action like most books wrote by men tends to be, full of fighting, violence, and battles.

Any additional comments?

A few things I find confusing in the plot line, but that's because it hasn't been entirely explained yet. I don't think the sword will be explained fully until a future book.

meandering but so interesting. There are many interesting characters and sub stories going on in this book. Love the characterisation and development of the secondary characters and the incidental every day descriptions. Look forward to returning soon.

A great introduction to this world

Please don't get me wrong, I love the books and the story, but I really hate the fact that the author doesn't seem to stop the "He said" "She said" every few seconds when two characters are in conversation. Driving me crazy.

This story has been slightly different to my normal choice but I have loved it. Already downloaded the next in the series.

Surprised how much I loved it.
