About this audiobook
Kandri Hinjuman was never meant to be a soldier. His brother Mektu was never meant for this world. Rivals since childhood, they are drafted into a horrific war led by a madwoman-Prophet, and survive each day only by hiding their disbelief. Kandri is good at blending in, but Mektu is hopeless: impulsive, erratic—and certain that a demon is stalking him. Is this madness or a second sense? Either way, Kandri knows that Mektu's antics will land them both in early graves.
But all bets are off when the brothers' simmering feud explodes into violence, and holy blood is spilled. Kandri and Mektu are taken for contract killers and must flee for their lives—to the one place where they can hope to disappear: the sprawling desert known as the Land that Eats Men. In this eerie wilderness, the terrain is as deadly as the monsters, ghouls, and traffickers in human flesh. Here the brothers find strange allies: an aging warlord, a desert nomad searching for her family, a lethal child-soldier still in her teens. They also find themselves in possession of a secret that could bring peace to the continent of Urrath. Or unthinkable carnage.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really fun start to the Fire Sacraments series, with some beautiful writing!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Hard not to fall a sleep listening to the mono tone narration.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I want to love this book. There is lots of action, cool characters and a ton of twists. But for a satisfying read, I need things to be more woven together with every event feeding character development and growth. Many things happen for no apparent reason, other than the action of it. Many characters are introduced, but we are left hanging about their fate. The twists felt contrived; they need more foreshadowing and backstory to feel authentic. That being said, if you want raw creativity unleashed with tons of action, you should read it. Even if you're like me; this is still an author to watch.
