Fun the whole way

Great pace, youth with spirit vs ancient and powerful, cool magic system and relationship building. Enjoyed performance also.

Amazing Story!

This was a page turner! So happy I found this book. I can’t wait for the second book.

What a listen!!

I listened to this book twice right when I got it. The characters and narration go well together. Story rich with lore and might and magic :)

Hidden Gem ..

I got this book because of Mr. Estes and the narrator, and glad that I did , 100% suggest this book. Great job

Fantasy, but frustrating characters

Fantasy is interesting and there are some different ideas here (living in trees, flying on birds, hierarchical caste system), but I finished it just to finish it. I rarely looked forward to the next insight or the next reveal as many of the plot points felt predictable or lackluster. Not hating, just not my cup of tea.

very good pacing

good pacing and world building, the magic could be a bit more developed, but I really enjoyed this book

Great book

Very entertaining will be moving forward with this series. The author is a very talented writer and is well on his way to being one of the greats. And the narrator is as always, masterful and his ability to bring the characters to life is fantastic.

Yup it's a slow burn but it's awesome!

Beautiful story brought a few tears out. David you rock. Love all your books. And of course Tim is the man as always.

Fun with action

A fun action packed book with great narration and I'm looking forward to book two.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this story. The relationship between the MC and his demon was very well written and fun. It had all the classic tropes of a fantasy novel but the world building was excellent and unique. I enjoyed that not every question was answered and leaves the story wide open for the next installment!
