Summary

A sword of green glass.

A key that opens passages between the worlds.

The nameless warrior has nothing else. No allies, no armor, not even the memory of how he came to be trapped within this dying land, pursued across a red waste by the monstrous Shriven.

But all hope is not lost. There are other survivors amidst the desolation, holding clues as to where he has come from and what he must do: Amara, the Red Sword of her tribe, a beautiful and fiery swordswoman obsessed with destroying the demons that plague her people, and Valyra, a young sorceress who can weave the broken threads of this reality into something whole once more.

Together they will try to resist the evil that stalks the wastes. But this world is only one among many, and in order to unravel his mysteries the warrior must find the doorways which will allow him to stride between the stars and pass into even stranger lands.

Note: Intended for mature listeners. Contains a harem and explicit situations.

Awesome

The Cleansing Flame by Alec Hutson.

That was brilliant, fantastic worldbuilding, excellent plot, setting and really great characters a highy entertaining story, very imaginative, full of sword swiveling action, a well written out and out fantasy story that you will love from start to finish, the main character Talin is an amnesiac that stumbles from one fight to another and from one world to another, Talin no longer remembers the purpose to his quest, his journey is chaotic and quite disturbing, but the most interesting thing is that Talin despite his amnesia manages to make deep connections with the people he encounters and deeper than others, from a soft kind hearted, but a little bit absent minded scientist and his rebellious daughter, to an aloof warrior woman with a love of martial combat and combating between the sheets, he encounters a multitude of intriguing characters and some very sinister ones, lots of monsters and creatures bent on the destruction of their world, there is a few explicit sex scenes that some readers may not like, hopefully we find out in book two how he got his amnesia, a absolute fun read with lots of potential to be a really good series, the narration by Angelo Di Loreto is brilliant, highly recommend...😁

Average

To be fair, it was worth the listen. However, I wouldn't rave about this title. The narration was good in fairness, but the story was a little slower than I'd like.

overall, I wouldn't say it's a bad book, but could have been written better. With that in mind I still enjoyed the listen.

I will pick up book two and see how that goes.

Lasted 15 minutes

10 minutes in and already we have erections and breasts. And banging a woman he's met for just 1 minute. Lazy assed character building.

What a disappointment. Too much smut !

Have read the author's other books and really enjoyed them . Where did this one come from .? A short way in and the ' hero ' has had casual sex with three women ! He also seems to have a juvenile obsession with the size of women's breasts .. And a fascination with certain four letter words which the excellent narrator has to repeat . It ' s smutty !
Not worth finishing . I was a fan ... not sure now .
