Publisher's summary
Nikolis’ parents are dead - murdered before his eyes. What’s worse, they were traitors to the crown.
At least that’s what he hears the village folk saying moments before he is whisked away to the castle of Highkeep. There he finds himself before the aged King Alginor, a man brought to a boil by his very presence.
With his fate hanging in the balance, Nikolis accepts an apprenticeship with the castle’s master of arms, a decision that catapults him on a journey fraught with danger, treachery, self-discovery, and burgeoning love, where his wit and the edge of a blade may be all that protects him from a world that is spiraling out of control.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

Ian and Vic are brothers. Their lives are simple, and while they might long for excitement, happiness can be found in a hard day's work, a sunny day, or the smile from a pretty girl. Their lives are turned on end when their village is attacked and they are taken as slaves, destined to labor under the watchful eye of their captors. The strife that had long dominated much of the world had found them. Things would never be the same.

Life as an orphan was quiet, if not exciting, but that existence was turned upside-down in a life-changing instant. Abruptly snatched up and whisked away light years from home, young Bawb found himself thrust into an entirely new life. One that would see his days filled with brutal training of both mind and body, and where failure could have extreme consequences. It would be a difficult existence of sweat, pain, and struggle, where injury and even death were on the line.

Long ago, the world fell into twilight, when the great empires of old consumed each other in sorcerous cataclysms. In the south, the Star Towers fell, swallowed by the sea, while the black glaciers descended upon the northern holdfasts, entombing the cities of Min-Ceruth in ice and sorcery. Then from the ancient empire of Menekar, the paladins of Ama came, putting every surviving sorcerer to the sword and cleansing their taint from the land. The pulse of magic slowed, fading like the heartbeat of a dying man. But after a thousand years, it has begun to quicken again.

Complex and Intense Medieval Tale
Rich characters, complex morals, unexpected twists, and intense thrills combine in a tale that reminded me of Stephen King's Wizard and Glass. I would love to see further adventures of Blader in future installments.

Meh….
Not the worst but not the best I’ve ever listened to. Story had the opportunity to be great. It’s like all the pieces were there but it wasn’t put together correctly. I’d say if you haven’t found anything else this is ok, but it’s ok only.

Surprise surprise
I always love finding a new author on a random choice. Mister Corman did not disappoint, in fact he knocked it out of the park. You won’t feel guilty wasting a day on this one and plan on it taking the day because you won’t stop listening. The narrator/producer was excellent and may turn out to be the next big fantasy voice. Kudos and keep it up.

Not amazing, but good enough to deserve a sequel.
Because of the mixed reviews, I wasn't very optimistic going into this story. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story had a fair amount of adventure, action, and even some very light fantasy elements. There wasn't as much action as you might expect from a story entitled "The Last Swordsman," but it was still an enjoyable read.
I felt like this story REALLY lacked character development, even for the main character, Nikolis. In the middle of the book there are several chapters devoted to Nikolis pining after a girl, which really killed the story's momentum. I was pretty annoyed by the love story until the very end, when it resolved in an unexpected but satisfying way. So if you can make it through those chapters it does get better again.
I thought the narrator did a decent job. Some people complained about odd pauses mid-sentence, but I only noticed it a few times toward the beginning of the story. It seemed to be a sound editing issue, not a narrator issue.

This book is horrible
Part 1 was excellent, it followed the adventure of an orphaned boy into an apprentice, just like the summary stated. Part 2 is a teenage love story that drags the story down like a boat anchor. You might think there would be sword fighting, there is very little. Avoid this garbage.

Wasted Credit: Didn't bother to finish
Performance was ok, the odd pause between paragraphs and odd sounding ends to chapters were easy to overlook. The story had a lot of potential but was hard to swallow. I couldn't stand to hear the words, "He just didn't know what to do," one more time.
This was a wasted credit. Did not have the willpower to finish this.
