Summary

Winner 2018 SOVAS Award for Audiobook Narration - Teens, Best Voiceover

They are the fatemarked. Misunderstood. Worshipped. Hated. Murdered at birth. Their time to step into the light has come. 

An ancient prophecy foretold their coming, the chosen few who will bring peace to a land embroiled in a century of mistrust and war. When kings start dying, that hope and belief swiftly turns to fear. Roan Loren is one of the fatemarked, but has hidden his mark of power his entire life, fearing the damage it might cause to those around him. 

A great evil is coming. He can't hide anymore. 

In the spirit of fantasy epics like Throne of Glass and The Lord of the Rings, enter a world of magic and dragons, kings and queens, and victory and defeat, during a time when honor and valor still meant something.

unfortunately pretty boring

Finished the book but never was truly captivated. found myself having to rewind after missing sections with simply loosing interest. Had hoped for more so sadly cannot recommend.
Though I do appreciate the effort by both author and narrator

Superb Series!

I don’t usually write reviews but this is an amazing listen!

The characters, the story, the writing, the narration. It’s just all so good! And I really love the postludes that give so much depth and back story. You really get to know the characters and they almost become like family.

If you like a good fantasy and being drawn into a story then this is perfect.

10/10

A real epic adventure - thank you

This is page by page adventure and surprises - Thank you David for writing such an amazing story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The concept is strong
The character development is strong - e.g. you find yourself liking characters that you shouldn't
The narration is really good - Derek does a good job at a female voice and making it credible
You look and think 19 hours wow that's long, but it's so good it feels like 5 minutes! He also gives you back stories at the end which give you further insight into the characters (he could have done these as flashbacks just as well)
never mind the book LOVED THIS SERIES

Dire. Do not bother!

The writing is wooden, the characters are cliches, and the ‘story’ is both ridiculous and mind numbingly tedious.
Do not waste a moment of your life on this rubbish.

awesome and not predictable

I found this book by searching for the narrator, something I have not done before. I have not been disappointed. the book is very true to it's genre but it's characters are satisfyingly imperfect, while engaging, the marks are pleasingly different, the storyline never predictable.

Kinda Meh, but just engaging enough.

Well it's not great, but the narrator does a good job at bringing it to life, to the extent I'll probably buy book 2... probably.

Clumsy, awkward dialogue

The unfummy, unbelievable, two dimensional dialogue stops me from being able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the story the way everyone hopes they can with a good fantasy novel. I've pursued it for a few hours, but can't hold on any longer.

If Karen from Amazon gives it 5 stars, well...!

This story is ok, I really enjoyed the start but as you get through the book each of the characters basically act like the same person. The love stories are all the same trope repeated over with different people. The characters open up so easily and sometimes it's cringe to listen to some of the predictability.
However the premise is cool, so I at least finished the book. I find it fascinating how fantasy authors can think up these ideas but this book isn't executed fantastically.
This is easy listening if you want something like that.

boring storyline.

I kept waiting for this to get better. but it really doesn't. I've listened to roughly 20 hours and I gave up on it.
it has guy on guy romance, so if that thing is for you then good news. it wasn't for me and I had to stop listening.
the narrator does a decent job. the story itself lacks any spark. it reads a bit like fanfiction. this is my first book from this author and its going to be my last
