Runebreaker by Alex R. Kahler
4.0

Audiobook review. Narrator - Zach Villa

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first, although it was still good. Aidan is not a likable character at the beginning of the story, so I found it difficult at first to care about him. We end up getting glimpses of the past so we eventually know how he got to where he is and what motivates him.

What happened between him and his parents, especially him and his mother, really gets to me, mostly because I'm a mother and can relate to how much I want a good relationship with my son. I'm not sure how many readers can get into that part of the story, though.

I also have a problem with the abrupt ending. I was listening to the audiobook and was quite surprised when I heard the closing info on the book, indicating the story was over! Had I known it ended like that, I probably would have waited for the third and final book to come out.

The narrator did a very good job of voicing the characters. I really do look forward to the next book, which hopefully will be available as an audiobook.
