Summary
For generations, warlords fought bitterly for dominance in a land without a king, leaving a fractured, war-torn country plagued by thieves, slavers, and the servants of dark gods and darker magic.
Allystaire Coldbourne travels a treacherous path toward his Ordination as a holy knight of legend, a Paladin, a savior of the people. But to fulfill this role, he - and the unexpected allies he finds along the way - must face the demonic, sorcerous evil that stalks the land, the wrath of gods and men, and his own dark past.

Vibrant, rich and developing.
What did you like most about Ordination?
Allystaire and Idgen Marte developing relationship. Idgen Martes character in general is entertaining and interesting.
What did you like best about this story?
The contrasts between the characters ideology and the way in which Allystaire is always battling himself in his decision making, this makes him feel human which also allows you to relate to him.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Mol flipping out when Allystaire bought the slaves, it felt like such a genuine reaction. This scene really brought out each character's traits to me and allowed me to think about the storytelling in a genuinely different way.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The book portrays each character very well and each actions that the characters take is well thought out and shows great planning when it comes to world development, the scene that moved me most was Idgen Marte standing in the doorway in just a shirt and her hair down, this felt like the moment that showed Idgen Marte's developing personality and comfort around Allystaire.
Any additional comments?
I feel the book really plays with your imagination and makes you ask questions of yourself which challenge your way thinking and show others in an understandable way.

Bringer of Hope
In a country torn apart by war arises one man, Allystaire, a former knight with a dark past, whose quest to become a Paladin, will test him to limits he never imagined and for those who join him on his road, each will find the person they never knew was inside of them. Each will be tested and each will stand tall against the wrath of the gods, the sorcery and the evil that pervades the land.
A pleasant surprise. When I picked up Ordination I thought it might be a take it or leave it book. It wasn’t. Character/world building was really good. It is a book, as always seems to be the case, about good vs, evil, but with a depth to the characters that held the interest.
This is a book that starts at a slow pace and gradually builds until you feel unable to put it down. When, added to that, you have an adept narrator like Michael Kramer, you have all the ingredients of a great trilogy.

Michael Kramer the guy you want reading your book!
I can absolutely guarantee you I'll buy any audio book read by Michael Kramer. His voice was born for story telling as it is like the audio equivalent of the first sip of a perfect cup of tea.
This story, though a tad preachy at first was entertaining and captivating. Very different from the cookie cutter fantasy I'm used to. The characters feel real without any forced crude-ness to explain things like battleworn or broken. Thoroughly enjoyable!

This popped up in my recommended list and I gave it a go! Great book and as usual Kramer knocks it out of the park with narration!
