I consumed the audiobook version of this book and it is much more exciting and immersive in audio. I do think most fantasy books when converted to audio version becomes such things. 

Both have high-regards with the author and the storyteller. This is the type of fantasybook I like. No need for those wierd convulted sexual plots of Game of Thrones

New perspectives:
Duncan - the best warlord father.. Ever.. As i join him in his war battles i honestly feel like one of his warriors fighting by his side.. Goddamn
Aiden
and two others I dont want to spoil

Murk still my favorite character. Hahahah the equalizer of the fantasy world. But yeah he is dick for unabling to help the lady’: parents in time. But then again.. He never done anything good or heroic before. So this is his first time. He is also unexpectedly philosophical and searching for his meaning and purpose in his life. Even if you dont know how to read or write, we all will eventually seek meaning in the things we do. But I think even more so for someone who is illiterate because they are unable to get meaning or possible answers from books they cant read so the eagerly search it more by pondering and finding thins

Murk also mentioned that deep stillness quiet in his mind that is oddly meditative. That is zen masters mention

And we are unworthy
