About this listen

A fast-paced and action-packed adventure, set in a detailed and compelling fantasy world.

Toric's Dagger is just another religious relic, until it's stolen. Belwynn and her twin brother, Soren, volunteer to lead a team tasked with its retrieval. Drawn into a world of danger and treachery, they must rely on Soren's magical abilities, and on the telepathic bond they share.

Now, as kingdoms and empires start to fall, the twins confront the dark forces that threaten them. They must not let the Dagger fall into the wrong hands. But when mercenaries, zealots, and sorcerers are all hunting for the same weapon, who should they trust?

Book one of the Weapon Takers saga, an epic fantasy series in the tradition of Tolkien, Tad Williams, & George R. R. Martin. The story is told from multiple points of view and is perfect for listeners who like their fantasy done on a grand scale.

Absolutely fantastic, the first book in the series did not disappoint, a nicely fast paced book that will hold your attention right to the end, after meeting Moneva and Herin in a previous short story, I knew I was going to love this, we follow some new characters, Belwin and her twin brother Soren who is a magician, when a holy relic Toric's Dagger is stolen, the twins put a team together to help retrieve it back, but it won't be easy, when communicating with each other, they use their telepathic ability, they must use Soren's magic to stay one step ahead of danger, but with all sort of unruly characters looking for the dagger, they are being heavily persued and must not let the dagger fall into the wrong hands, with murder and war on the horizon, they face certain tests that will either break them or make them, great read with lots of actions, magic and characters you will be cheering for from start to finish, the narration by the deadly duo Greg Patmore and Brigid Thomas bring this book to a whole other level, highly recommended...😁

I didn't know what to expect with this story but it was one that even through the story is slow it dose draw you in and before you know it you have reached the end. It is one that I will listen too again and go onto the remaining series.

Here is where I will admit that it took me absolutely ages to get through the first 15% of the book. I usually love action-packed fantasy with plenty of intrigue but the first bit confused me. While it was an interesting way to introduce the characters and it was certainly tense, i had a hard time keeping up with the names, species and locations. It was only my decision to review the audiobook and the good quality narration that carried me through the first few chapters, albeit very slowly.

Then suddenly the story picked up. Suddenly there were layers to the story, including political intrigue, ancient myth, magic and more. There was a quest that seemed to expand into more quests, the potential for war, the suggestion of romance and lots of edge-your-seat moments where survival wasn't guaranteed. My attention was captured and the characters demanded my commitment to their story.

And now?

Well, now I am ready to dive into the rest of the series. I want to know that the main characters survive and win and I want to know how they manage it. If fantasy with political intrigue and magic is your prefered genre, you might find yourself enjoying this too!

When an author is writing a series, it can often be difficult to get the balance between being a strong book in it's own right as well as setting the scene for the books to follow and this time I think the author didn't get the balance quite right with the ending in particular seeming too abrupt. Despite this complaint, I did enjoy this book overall with it having a varied and interesting cast and effective world-building that should continue to payoff in subsequent books.

The performances of the narrators were both enjoyable and obviously helps to make the characters more distinctive with the two of them sharing the duties which nicely enhanced the overall performance.

Overall, this book is a strong first part of this series and I will look out for future installments, but it could have been a bit stronger in it's own right.

This was a well-written quest style story. The characters were substantially developed and there was a good secondary cast with enjoyable plot and good world-building. What made it interesting for me was the dual narration, a pleasant change and added to the listening. The storyline is the first in a series so this is not a standalone book. I, however, enjoyed the tale enough to want to continue with the next in the series.
