BALDEMAR
by Matthew Hughes
Narrated by: Harry Frost
Production by: Matthew Hughes
Dragons, Magic, and Adventure!
Baldemar, as a child, was never one to settle with his lot in life. Rather he sought to remove himself from his poverty-stricken life as soon as possible. His eagerness led him to become a debt collector, a henchman, and a wizard’s underling. Of course, the latter is what led him down the dangerous path into the world of dukes, demons, assassins, and more. Baldemar comes to the attention of a more powerful and secretive being who has its own agenda.
Matthew Hughes, the author, creates a magnificent world that centers around magic, demons, power, and realms that are dark and dangerous. His careful world creation and his character development are detailed and thorough. One finds it easy to connect with Baldemar because he is down-to-earth and has a kind heart – hard to believe given his previous roles in life. The book is epic in length but well worth the listen as Hughes takes the listener and leads him through the book with powerful and vivid imagery.
The narrator, Harry Frost delivers a sound performance that captures the listener and keeps them enthralled in the story. He speaks clearly and smoothly. He gives a unique voice to each and helps keep the story easy to follow.
This is a book I would highly recommend as it captures and keeps the imagination of the listener.
