Betrayer's Bane

Embers of Illeniel, Book 3

De: Michael G. Manning

Narrado por: Alex Wyndham

Tyrion was a good person who had been born to a simple family and raised with love, but the world has shaped him for a different fate. Twisted by violence and torture, he is obsessed with a relentless desire for vengeance, and he has sown the seeds of wrath in his children. The She'Har have offered him the opportunity to be a great leader and usher in a new era of prosperity and peace, but, despite his gentle beginnings, Tyrion is no hero.

Heroes are born to build, and while many laud the efforts of such leaders, others will work to bring them down, for all good things must come to an end. Every forest must inevitably face the flame.

Destiny has chosen Tyrion for a different path and has given him the spark that will burn the world to ashes. Embracing the evil within, he will reap a harvest of hatred, and no one will find safety in the purge of fire that he brings; even the betrayer has his bane.

Will anything be left to rise from the ash?

Fantastic Read

This is the first time that I actually began to cry from an audiobook, the tragedie of Tyrions life hit me right in the feels.
The series is well written and Wyndham brings the whole thing to life.

great book perfectly performed.

incredibly dark story . I loved the while trilogy. the reading was fantastic he sounds angry as rewired most of the time perfect for the story.

Holy shit! Dear sweet baby jesus and the like!

this entire series is riveting. It combines a interesting story with a complex emotional narrative that looks deep into the darkness that is hatred, while also exhibiting the power of love in all of its glory. But it is not a love story or a classic good and evil struggle. If anything it's a Greek tragedy. Simply put hot damn!

Wow...

Most depressing book I’ve ever listened to, but very good! If you don’t mind getting your heart stomped on a little this is the book for you.

Aaaaaagh! The emotions!

This is a tough one...not in a hard to read way, but in a jaw dropping action whilst making you cry way.
Wow.

Great Story

Reader was perfect. The story was great, but too many questions unanswered. with this I hope the author continues the story at a later time.

Really Enjoyed

Prequel series was great. Enhanced my enjoyment of the original. Going to start the sequel series now.

Bloody Brilliant!

Where does Betrayer's Bane rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top ten for sure

Any additional comments?

It's a lot to handle. But done well enough to make it incredibly moving.

One of the best series I could never recommend.

The story was performed amazingly. It was well written and well thought out. Language is an issue but was not flagrantly used. Frequent sex and sexual activity was a part of the story but was not related in a graphical terms. Violence against women, kids killing other kids in the arena, torture etc...were all part of the story and for these reasons I would not recommend this book to anyone without them knowing what they were getting into first.

Having stated the above this story was amazing. It was not a feel good story in any sense but forces the listener/reader to think about deeper issues when dealing with perceptions of humanity. The story deals with genocide, slavery, torture and rape. It also deals with the hope for a better life and the extremes people will go to in order to achieve it.

Great Finish but missed tie up loose ends

I'm a really big fan of Micheal G. Manning and have thoroughly enjoyed this entire series of books. MageBorn Series Embers of Illeniel Series The Champions of Dawning of Dragons Series The Riven Gates Series This series is the darkest and most disturbing of them as it deals with some touchy subjects. I felt there was a good balance of character building, descriptions and action, and that the characters actions were understandable for the issues they faced, not saying they were good decisions but I could see why they choose their path.. Since Gods were such a strong story point in the previous series I was very disappointed that little if nothing was mentioned of them about how and why they were created.. Morality is a difficult thing when all choices lead to death and despair..
