About this listen

The adventure continues....

Ordained by an ancient goddess of mercy and light, former knight Allystaire Coldbourne has become a paladin, a hero out of legend. But evil stalks him, angry gods align against him, and greedy warlords want him dead.

With the help of his friends, each blessed with extraordinary powers by the Goddess, Allystaire must escape the clutches of sorcerers and wicked rulers who will stop at nothing to destroy him as he continues his dangerous quest to bring peace and unity to the fractured and war-torn Baronies. With the Longest Night of mid-winter approaching, the Goddess weakens and armies march - armies determined to bring destruction and horror to the paladin and all who follow him. Allystaire is soon left with only his powers, his handful of friends, and his mission to be a beacon of hope, still and bright, in the encroaching darkness.

Loved it, couldn't stop listening. The characters will capture your heart, aswell as other emotions.

A very well rounded, and rousing adventure.

Always love this narrator, he really makes a story come to life and makes connecting to characters so much easier.
The story was compelling, I wanted to listen in one sitting. Some parts of the story I found a bit samey but as I have listened to lots of stories from this genre that can happen so not too much of a problem. The inventive way that the author continues the characters of Gods and Goddesses is intriguing and pulls you into how it feels to have unwavering faith yet still have human doubts.
Overall this is definitely worth listening too and I would highly recommend to any fans of the genre.

The Temple, now established, has drawn more people to the little village of Thornhurst.

Now that Allystaire has found all of the Mother’s disciples, they must return to the village to reinforce its defences in preparation for the battle to come. This will be no ordinary battle and will test even the strongest. All is at stake as the Longest Night of Midwinter approaches.

This is a trilogy that doesn’t rush, but continues at a steady pace for the listener to savour.

Great story and character progression. Thoroughly enjoyable but lifted to the superb by Michael Kramer, who can make your heart swell with his storytelling. Roll on book 3!!

If I could give 6 stars for the performance I would!

Stillbright is a great book

the first tome was good for the first ten chapters or so, then it dwindled all the way down to boredom.
the next installment, this one, outperforms this feat. it goes right beneath boredom. acquiring the irreverent status.
if you pay attention, one can hear Micheal Kramer regularly yawning.

to sum up the quality and logic of the whole affair, I'll take a direct example from the book.
that paladin forbids anyone to call him a Lord. the problem is, the guy act not only as a Lord, but draws on all the pathos one tyrant may use. so yes he's not a lord, in the same vein, a red Khmer officer weren't.
