Publisher's Summary
Kandri Hinjuman was never meant to be a soldier. His brother Mektu was never meant for this world. Rivals since childhood, they are drafted into a horrific war led by a madwoman-Prophet, and survive each day only by hiding their disbelief. Kandri is good at blending in, but Mektu is hopeless: impulsive, erratic - and certain that a demon is stalking him. Is this madness or a second sense? Either way, Kandri knows that Mektu's antics will land them both in early graves.
But all bets are off when the brothers' simmering feud explodes into violence, and holy blood is spilled. Kandri and Mektu are taken for contract killers and must flee for their lives - to the one place where they can hope to disappear: the sprawling desert known as the Land that Eats Men.
In this eerie wilderness, the terrain is as deadly as the monsters, ghouls, and traffickers in human flesh. Here the brothers find strange allies: an aging warlord, a desert nomad searching for her family, a lethal child-soldier still in her teens. They also find themselves in possession of a secret that could bring peace to the continent of Urrath. Or unthinkable carnage.
Contains mature themes.
What the critics say
"This book has everything I love: Clean, crisp worldbuilding. Characters that live and breathe. A story that teases and surprises me. I like Master Assassins so much I wish I'd written it, but deep down, I know I couldn't have written it this well." (Patrick Rothfuss, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

Okay Story, Amazing Voice Performance
The story was okay with some exciting parts. I enjoyed the character's dialogue. Eric Michael Summerer was the best part of the audiobook

A decent story but the narrator wasn’t to my taste.
I listened to this one because author Mark Lawrence recommended it and he hasn’t let me down yet. However, I feel I would have enjoyed this book a lot more in paper form. I found the narrator’s style irritating and subpar. A loud blaring American accent - overly dramatic and corny. The type of accents you might hear in video games and soap operas.

something special
I really loved this book, and it's sequel, sidewinders. the characters have depth, the author reveals the world the world at just the right place that there are interesting revelations when you least expect them. If was a really refreshing take on the genre and I eagerly await the next book in the series! Narration was also excellent.
