Fires that Forge (Book I of the Lords of Order & Chaos Series) by R. J. Hanson Audiobook
Two brothers, one drawn to the chaos, the other to order. One searching for cures in his hospital and the other an Inquisitor. Silas, a brilliant healer and Dunewell the Inquisitor’s younger brother, arrives barefoot on Dunewell’s doorstep, wet with rain and blood, after finding their parents murdered in their bed. Dunewell, the Inquisitor, is charged to investigate the double murder. In the intricate dance for balance and truth, each brother follows his path. To find their destinies and become the Lord’s of Chaos and Order.
This
is a good story once you get your bearings.
The prologue sets up the story intense and draws you in. Then, however,
I was lost. The Formatting made it challenging to follow and figure out exactly
what is going on. But if you stick it
out and go back more than once, you will realise that the story is told from
both Silas and Dunewell’s viewpoints. It
could have been clearer, and the audiobook especially is confusing in the
beginning. But the story is good enough
that I am willing to read the next one. Dunewell seems like an interesting and formidable
character, and I would love to see what happens.
The
audiobook was well narrated, sometimes it seems as if the narrator stumbles
over his words, but he does a good job.
So
if you like a good whodunit and love Fantasy, I would recommend it. With the caveat
that the book can be confusing initially, once you figure out what is going on
and what fits where it is a good read.
I
received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review
voluntarily.
