Broken Crossroads
Knights of the Shadows, Book 1

by Patrick LeClerc

Narrated by: Hank Hayden

An Interesting and Multi-talented Pair!

Lots of action and intrigue.  Trilisean is a woman of many talents – an acrobat, former slave, and a master thief.  Conn is a mercenary with deadly blade skills.  Together they are formidable and their joint relationship while not romantic there is definitely some chemistry between them.  The excitement begins when they become embroiled in things other than minor thievery.     

The author, Patrick LeClerc is skilled at world-building and character development.  His story is fresh yet very reminiscent of the vintage sword and sorcery tales.  His dialog is strong, advances the story, and keeps the book flowing smoothly.  The plot twists were perfectly executed and smooth.

The narrator, Hank Hayden gives a strong performance complete with unique and consistent voices that fit the personality of each character.  The words flow smoothly and in a nice voice tinged with the exact amount of inflection for each character and situation.

This is a quality story both in design and performance.  I hope to experience more works by LeClerc and Hayden. 

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook. It was crisp and clear.
