Free the Darkness by Kel Kade7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Everything is perfectly timed and perfectly played, and if it weren’t the most satisfying thing I’ve listened too in a long time, then the whole book would have been just ten shades of ‘meh’. He isn’t a good guy, and he doesn’t spare a second thought for going all Liam Neeson with his particular set of skills to methodically and logically slice up anyone that stands in his path. Again, this would usually put me off the character, but Rez doesn’t hold back… like, at all. The main character, Rezkin, is OP as all hell, brilliant at just about everything he turns his hands to. For starters, the characters seemed hollow or so clichéd that I quickly began losing faith. There was something about this book that I didn’t want to like, and for the life of me I can’t put my finger on it. ![]() Still, I carried on with Free the Darkness, and oooo boy, was that the right choice. I want surprise from the books I listen to, but after a couple hundred fantasy novels, you think you’ve seen it all. ![]() A few premises were laid out and thing proceeded just as I expected. Initially the story seemed very predictable. Free the Darkness was another book I had no idea about save for the sky-high Audible rating, and 30 minutes in I thought I’d picked a dud. ![]()
