À propos de cet audio

Theus is sold into servanthood by his poverty-stricken family and taken by his kindly master on a journey across a continent, following the course of the Landwide River. From there, he begins to learn the secrets of the memory stones, the extraordinary objects that can store information for people.

As Theus learns more about the world beyond his family's farm, learning to handle weapons and combatting the turbulent world around him, he discovers that the beautiful daughter of a high noble family, Coriae, is far beyond a commoner's reach - but he can dream.

Evil powers brewing in far-off places are spreading chaos across the world, and Theus becomes snared in troubles that seem to have nothing to do with him, until he finds that he has fallen into the center of the evil.Desperate to escape, Theus struggles to overcome the battles he's faced with. He almost seems to be back on track towards the success he has envisioned for himself. But evil is not ready to let him go so easily.

Solid story. Excellent writing. Very easy to get pulled into the world and to follow. Our protagonist seems to be unreasonably favoured by a few people in power at the very start of the book, and has an unexplained aptitude for weapons. But otherwise it progresses very naturally. This is the excellent writing quality that I’ve not been finding much of lately.

My only complaints are that we aren’t told why he picks up weapon skills so easily. Yes he practices a lot, but in only a few weeks becomes better than nearly all lifetime practitioners. But that’s not what makes him special, it just keeps him alive, so I’ll not fuss to much about it. My other complaint is he needs some guy friends. The whole book he only makes one male friend, and even then all they do is sword practice. All other male interactions are either hostile or just more sword practice. Every friend is female and they ALL have some degree of romantic tension. And ALL of them have the same extreme jealous overreactions. Doesn’t matter the station of the girl or how long they’ve known him. They all swoon over him. And all fit into a narrow stereotype.

Still it was a good book and I’ll be buying the second book.

Excellent story
