About this listen
Viridius Vispanius has spent his entire life protecting the emperor of Wolfryia. A man of integrity, honor, and purpose until one fateful day, his family and friends turn on him and assassinate the emperor. Viridius fails in his sworn duty and as a result, he is condemned to execution. He manages to escape and has been living in the Batopian wilderness for the last year, pining for a way to get back to his old life.
His luck is about to change when his old friend Gius appears and makes him an offer he can’t refuse. He is desperate, alone, and outnumbered with a price on his head. He will take any chance, no matter how long the odds to get his revenge. It’s a dish best served cold and it has been frozen in his mind for a year. If one has no friends, one can never be betrayed is his new motto. The only question is - can a man with nothing to lose change the history of Dellos with a simple assassin's knife?

The author seems to have tried to create a complex mix of timeframes in his worldbuilding, but far too little background (how do cats paws hold swords, how is clockwork and white picket fences phrases but no sign of clocks, why does cover show heavy plate armour?) is given as to what is actually there. For instance the first time you meet another “race” is 4 hours into the book.
It felt like the whole book was just an introduction to new characters (even arriving in the last 40 mins) and maybe further books will flesh everything out.
I would have preferred a little more time was taken to flesh things out as there’s definitely potential there.
Narration was good but the sound effects were too random to be worthwhile and sometimes a little lazy with roars from catmen (who don’t arrive until late in book) being heard in the first fights and pasted place names.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
