    About this audiobook

    THEY ARE THE MOST FEARED MERCENARY COMPANY THE KINGDOM HAS EVER KNOWN.
    Led by Yulan, their charismatic captain, the Free have spent years selling their martial and magical skills to the highest bidder -- winning countless victories that have shaken the foundations of the world. Now they finally plan to lay down their swords.
    Yet when Yulan is offered a final contract, he cannot refuse -- for the mission offers him the chance to erase the memories of the Free's darkest hour, which have haunted him for years.
    As the Free embark on their last mission, a potent mix of loyalty and vengeance is building to a storm. Freedom, it seems, carries a deadly price.

      Ok, I loved the book. I really enjoyed the characters and the story. I have one gripe though, and it’s a spoiler.

      ——spoiler alert——
      Why is it that the bad guys unbound by time when they need to be somewhere? They are always where they need to be and seem not to have to spend the same time traveling as the good guys.

      The novel had a decent pace and story. Would have liked more to have happened at the beginning, I would the first 25% of the story was just in setting up the characters and setting. Something about the way the author writes is different too, the phrasing and way the words are put together are unique in a hard-to-pinpoint way which I found interesting.

      After getting to the end, I find the story to have been good but nothing special. Just an average fun militaristic fantasy novel. I find that I'm annoyed when authors use the "all perfect killing machine" or "all powerful magician with powers" approach which basically just makes a whole bunch of stuff happen without needing to justify it. This was a bit too liberal in this story I think in terms of the Permanence's and when Wren rescues her captive husband. The end battle was well done and not something I was expecting.

      Overall I enjoyed the story but wouldn’t rush to read another story by the author. It reminded me a bit like The Black Company by Glen Cook.
