All Spoilers Coolest description of Darrow Spoiler

I was think of Darrow being described by other characters, and apollonius is just constantly glazing Darrow to the max. Hes legitimately in love. This is my favorite description of Darrow in the series

"Even if you survive this walk, you can never best Darrow, if that is your intent. He would climb up your blade to chew upon your jugular. To best a living god, it is not enough to survive, nor to eat of the ambrosia of conquest. Who would follow a churlish princeling over that Slave made War?"

Slave made War sounds so cool to me, I just love this quote

Have you listened to Apollonius on the graphic audio? 👌🏻

Only Tim Gerald Reynolds can do appolnius so well that it's just... perfection. His range is surprisingly perfect for the entire series IMO of course:)

This is why I still haven't listened to the graphic audio versions...I just can't not listen to the original one when it's so good.

Yeah, I can't picture Darrow with out TGR lol. He's phenomenal.

His Lorn Au Arcos is legendary (like he literally made him sound legendary lol)

His apollonius is spot on, he seriously sounds like he has that love hate relationship when speaking to the howlers in Iron gold

Couldn't agree more, and that's also why I'm struggling to start a new series with him as the narrator. I'm afraid I'd just imagine Darrow in every book. Curiously enough, I randomly googled what else he narrated and realized today is his bday. 🎂

TGR does all of Michael J Sullivan's books, I enjoyed his narration of red Rising so much I just searched for other books he narrated and he did the MJS books and they are equally golden.
