'The Ember Blade is hands down the best fantasy novel I've ever read' Grimdark Magazine

A land under occupation. A legendary sword. A young man's journey to find his destiny.

Aren has lived by the rules all his life. He's never questioned it; that's just the way things are. But then his father is executed for treason, and he and his best friend Cade are thrown into a prison mine, doomed to work until they drop. Unless they can somehow break free . . .

But what lies beyond the prison walls is more terrifying still. Rescued by a man who hates him yet is oath-bound to protect him, pursued by inhuman forces, Aren slowly accepts that everything he knew about his world was a lie. The rules are not there to protect him, or his people, but to enslave them. A revolution is brewing, and Aren is being drawn into it, whether he likes it or not.

The key to the revolution is the Ember Blade. The sword of kings, the Excalibur of his people. Only with the Ember Blade in hand can their people be inspired to rise up . . . but it's locked in an impenetrable vault in the most heavily guarded fortress in the land.

All they have to do now is steal it . . .

Ce que les critiques en disent

The Ember Blade is everything I could possibly want in an epic fantasy novel, and so much more. Buy this book as soon as it is available.
If you like Brandon Sanderson you'll love this. The best epic fantasy for years.
It's like David Eddings, Margaret Weis, Tracey Hickman and Terry Brooks had a brainstorming session over a power lunch... then Wooding stole their notes, drank their beer and set about skewing everything. ...great fun, a classic epic fantasy.
A well-written tale of revolution, dark magic, and a quest for an ancient game-changing artifact set in a well-built and well-realised epic fantasy world.
From the excellent characterizations to the relentless chase, from breathtaking set pieces to the intricate world-building, everything was written with finesse. It seriously doesn't matter whether you're a fan of classic, epic, or grimdark fantasy (even better if all three), there's a place for you here. The Ember Blade is a book every fantasy fan will feel right at home with, and yet will find new adventures in it. It's a book that fantasy readers will love to revisit and inhabit longer and longer with every visit.
The Ember Blade is hands down the best fantasy novel I've ever read.

Good detailed story lots of plot but also lots of fillar. I know it's how these writers make money but man it can make for some dry listening. BUT I WOULD recommend listening it was still worth it.

Good but long...

I enjoyed the journey immensely and will be diving straight into the next in the series.

Excellent epic fantasy

This was truly an epic fantasy!

This has EVERYTHING. Adventure, monsters, fights, humor, sadness and most of all....a fantastic storyline!

It does start a little bit slow and drags on a little bit at the beginning, but it is most definitely worth continuing. It gets much better!

I have never listened to this narrator before, but he has done an excellent job. I would LOVE to hear him read more fantasy novels.

I can't wait for the next one. I really hope there isn't much time between this and the next!

Fantastic Epic Fantasy!

Loved this novel , characters were well developed , dialogue between them believable and hilarious at times
The narrator skill with accents is awesome and adds tremendously to character development and identification initially
Would definitely recommend
Can’t wait to read more adventures

Roller coaster adventure for an unwitting hero

If you enjoy more classic, meandering high fantasy books like The Name of the Wind and Wheel of Time, this book is for you. It’s slow at times, focused on worldbuilding and character development, but the ending made it worth the middle slog.

Glad I stuck this one out
