City of Steel and Shadow

The Last Eternal, Book 5

De: Jacob Peppers

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

Death has a voice.

The wanderer knew that, for he had heard that voice often enough.

And as he walked through the village of Alhs, past the corpses of those who had chosen to stay, he heard it again.

He heard it in the rasp of the wind along the eaves of the abandoned homes he passed, heard it in the slow, methodical banging of window shutters with no one to secure them.

Death has eyes.

Eyes that looked out from the corpses of those the wanderer had not been able to talk into coming with him and the others, that watched him walk down the empty street, searching in vain for any he might help, any he might save.

And with each body passed, each tragedy witnessed, the wanderer made himself a promise.

There would be a reckoning.

He would see to it.

For while death has a voice and eyes, that is not all it has.

Death has a name.

And so the wanderer sets out to Celes in order to find the ones to whom that name belongs, to find the enemy and, when he does, to find his vengeance.

good but I feel they cut the story short,,

Good but i Feel that the books in this series are cut short, in a half to a third of what they could be? maybe it’s just a way to sell more books?

Great characters that feel like friends

I love that Michael Kramer narrated it. He’s perfect and I wish he did more of Jacob’s books. His voice is great for the characters, male and female!

Exactly what I needed and expected

Just another amazing read by Michael Kramer and an enjoyable journey by Jacob Peppers. The author always has me guessing on who or what the true enemy of each book would be, as I was sure we would be hunting tactician in the frozen North, but instead find myself wanting more of Assassin’s guidance and the conclusion in the city.
