About this listen

Jace Warin never wanted anything more than to attend the School of Swords and Serpents to escape the labor camps and restore his family's stained honor.

But the determined young martial artist soon discovers the school he's always dreamed about is teeming with secret plots and sinister designs. To survive, he will have to master long-lost jinsei techniques, repair his wounded soul, and face down a most unexpected enemy: The Academy's ruthless headmaster and cunning professors.

Hollow Core is the first book in the School of Swords and Serpents series, a tale of wuxia adventure, cultivation mastery, and lurking threats.

“Wow, this book is crazy-good. If the Harry Potter series were somehow violently smashed together with the characters from Mortal Kombat, you might have something that comes close to the School of Swords and Serpents.” (James A. Hunter, best-selling author of Rogue Dungeon, Bibliomancer, and the LitRPG epic Viridian Gate Online)

I read this as a book so wanted to see how it went with the audio and i was not disappointed at all , with any new series especially audio it does take a while to get into it. Even with knowing the book this was the same although 3 chapters in i was into the thread and away with the story. Proczko does a good job with Jace and the rest of the characters and i would go with this new narrator again. Knowing whats in store for more in the series i shall be getting a lot more of these in audio.
