So, I am going to have a bit of trouble reviewing this book because the audio just was not enjoyable. I did find myself dozing off when trying to listen to it but after a while I decided to just read it myself.
The beginning of this book is action packed, as we see the beginnings of an invasion. This action quickly drops off as the MC escapes to live a life away from the palace to bide his time to return. Here the book time jumps as he undergoes training to be an assassin.
This should all be a stabby good time from that point on, right? Well, no. For what the synopsis promises, there is very little of that to be found in the book. However, I can't say that this book is bad, or not worth it (maybe the audio isn't) but I can say that the pacing of this book is all over the place. I found some parts super fast paced and exciting and others a bit droll.
The characters are well written and I think that is where this book's strengths lie. Our band of misfits is quite enjoyable and their abilities are fascinating.
I am looking forward to the next book but I don't think I will be picking up the audio.
