About this listen

The hounds at our heels will soon know we are lions. Tamas's invasion of Kez ends in disaster when a Kez counter-offensive leaves him cut off behind enemy lines with only a fraction of his army, no supplies and no hope of reinforcements. Drastically outnumbered and pursued by the enemy's best, he must lead his men on a reckless march through northern Kez to safety, and back over the mountains so that he can defend his country from an angry god.

In Adro, Inspector Adamat only wants to rescue his wife. To do so he must track down and confront the evil Lord Vetas. He has questions for Vetas concerning his enigmatic master, but the answers might come too quickly. With Tamas and his powder cabal presumed dead, Taniel Two-shot finds himself alongside the god Mihali as the last line of defence against Kresimir's advancing army.

Tamas's generals bicker among themselves, the brigades lose ground every day beneath the Kez onslaught and Kresimir wants the head of the man who shot him in the eye.

voice acting was fantastic. i really liked the audio version of this, so vivid.

the story was slow to begin, 3 seperated stories but they buzzed to nice crescendos. i hope they all get together again in part 3.

Bit of a slog at first but really gets going

The powdermage trilogy is quickly becoming my second favorite bookseries out there. Solid worldbuilding, storytelling, and characters. Great performance. And just an amazing concept overall. This one was another banger that you should definitely check out.

Awesome

I love this series and it is only enhanced by the excellent performance from Christian Rodska - he is incredible and will likely explore series I typically wouldn't because he is tied to them.

Absolutely amazing narration. Great differentiation between voices and subtly acted.

The book itself drags a little around the middle but the ending chapters truly make up for it.

Great

I loved this fresh take on fantasy, looking at the ‘chosen one’ trope askew as it were, nothing else out there quite like it, thrilling and addictive
