Summary
Grog is a brute (half Human, half Ukar) slave raised from birth to fight in the pits for the entertainment of the crowds. He is content with his role in the city, proud of his barracks, and in awe of his owner, the sour Master Horne. Life, by Grog's reckoning, is good. Then an enigmatic churchwoman enters his life, and Grog finds himself swept from the city which has been his entire world, to travel and learn amid as strange a group as he has ever seen. He knows nothing of the group's mission, just that his skills are necessary and the quest is "a good thing." But slowly, on this strange journey of both distance and spirit, Grog learns of the goal his new employer pursues, and its role in a troubled world. More importantly, he learns the value, and price, of freedom, and neither aspect is anything like what he imagined.
A fast-paced fantasy novel by the author of the popular Dream series (and 18 other novels), Grog takes the listener on a journey through an embattled Empire and a world in which things are seldom as simple as one expects.

Great entertainment
I was really not sure what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were great and Grog was brilliant. Loved the narrator too. His interpretation of the characters was very good.

Different but Good
Has a steady pace and style. The hero is not your average protagonist and Grog plods steadily into the adventure and heart.

Great story! looking forward to more
I noticed a previous review where they say this story is dumb because the main character is obviously not stupid but says he is. Grog is obviously not stupid but he has been told he his growing up. He is also ignorant of the wider world and struggles to deal with all the new challenges. This situation is subtly addressed and is excellently written.
What we do have is a group of people working together to make the world a better place. They have great morals a strong work ethic and are genuinely nice to each other.
I will be eagerly awaiting another book in the series and will search out other works by the author.

When you read this you get high quality work - that is the rule!
So enjoyable. The author has created an outstanding work with the observational insight into the mind of a warrior slave being first class. The only disappointment I have is that there is no book 2 yet. A story and the narrator’s skill is perfect.

excellent
I really enjoyed this and was sad when it ended! The perspective makes the book a very thoughtful read. I'm just disappointed there isn't a follow up! More please!

Clever book
I enjoyed this book, it is clever, entertaining with a strong story line. I’m disappointed that there isn’t a sequel on Audible, but the book does have a sufficiently satisfying ending to off-set the few dangled threads that lead into a continuing story line. Grog is an interesting, self-effacing hero with a simplistic outlook that fits his background. His education centred on obedience, speaking clearly, having a clear sense of purpose and winning fights, he didn’t need anything else, so he wasn’t taught it. It is easy to see the difference between the innocence of ignorance and the term stupid. It is clear that Grog believes that not knowing the basics taught to most free people means he must be as stupid as he has been told he is but, as the book progresses, the speed he learns new information, his ability to apply that new knowledge and his ability to reason things out and survive show him to be far from stupid. Plus, he is a completely moral, ethical being who kills ruthlessly, without question, simply because it’s required of him.

a story from a good view point
I liked the story and from "not" the main character, I felt like the same story could have been told separately by all the main characters and it would have been a different tale each time. Well done look forward to more of your work.
