About this listen

In the realm of Isodoro, just two things stand between Alliance lands and the spears and muskets of the orcish hordes: the wizards of the Order and constant infighting amongst the orcs themselves.

In the Alliance capital, young Wit has just been promoted from apprentice to full wizard - and saddled with the very unglamorous task of traveling to a distant iron mine to inspect it for fraud. Worse yet, he's partnered with Wa'llach, a drunken dwarven prisoner who's killed more people than most plagues.

Yet those skills are about to become very handy.

For the lord who runs the mine doesn't intend to let Wit get anywhere near it. And across the border, orcs who've hated each other for ages are starting to work together - and to strike into Alliance territory.

It looks like a conspiracy. Smells like one, too. And if it isn't stopped - either by Wit, or by the mysterious clan of orcish rangers that patrols the frontier - the entire Alliance Alliance will blow apart like an orcish death-stick.

A Western-infused epic of outlaws, treachery, treasure, and the frontier, Students of the Order is the first in a new series from a USA Today best-selling author and Audie nominee for Best Fantasy Novel.

So much background was touched upon that I’m sure there will be 3 to 6 more stories to get lost in

Good listen

I've not listened to this narrator before and found him to be excellent: saying that, the story itself is so good that any narrator would have been adequate as the story is so gripping. As with all truly excellent storytelling; when the book ends you are left feeling empty, wishing the next instalment was there ready.

I don't believe anyone will be disappointed with thus purchase. it is a true masterpiece, never a dull moment and the characters realistic and well developed.

I am so glad that I ignored what other reviewers said. it's a shame there are those that believe criticism is what a review entails. This book deserves better.....

Beyond Excellent

I haven't read anything by E. Robertson before and this was a good book. The story was engaging enough to keep me listening to the end and the performance by Michael Kramer was excellent as always.

I do have one tiny criticism and it involves minor spoilers. The final battles and fates of the villains have a lot of lead up ... then end it maybe one or two sentences. I had to re-listen to a chapter 3 times before I actually found the fate of one bad guy. maybe a bit more description on the big battles in the next book?

and I will be getting the next book. So good over all.

Edit: listened to this book a second time, second quibble...the "heros" in this book are slavers! makes it hard for me to feel any sympathy for their fates, will still get second book.

Good first book

this book is good but it has a problem with pacing, literally leaving one moment with high stacks, for one with none ruining a general deal of the book, the end was a bit anticlimactic for my taste. in the end it just fault like this book was rushed and because of that there were a lot of plot holes .

good book but it has some problems.
