Summary

After secluding himself from the outside world, a fearsome old man, Balak, is hired by a teenage girl, Arda, to make a perilous journey across Tartaurus. With the whole continent at war, he is tasked with guiding her safely to the distant castle of Iron Gates. They will have to learn to work together if they wish to make it alive, past the hostile wildlife, enemy territory, and giants - a dangerous journey that is further complicated by the inclusion of Arda’s infant sister. 

Drawing inspiration from the history and mythology of the Caucasus region and the author’s own rich imagination, the book explores the murky line between justice and revenge, and the lengths some people are willing to cross to get what they want.

Average, w/good narrator

The book is well written and very well narrated.

However the plot isn’t the most interesting one. Though I guess it the end kind of ties the whole thing together.

The first part of the story is sort of steampunk meets mistworld in my head, spent in an underground city.
Most of the remaining story consists of characters running away without a clear purpose and getting to know eachother.

In the second end a lot of fantasy is thrown to the reader. Fantastical beasts,
Magic, dragons, other intelligent species... this without any purpose and mainly for exposition sake.

I think the narrator is the highlight of this audiobook.
