A former assassin. An unspeakable past. A new beginning.

Abandoned at birth and raised to be an assassin by the mysterious Diyu Brotherhood, Danzen has had enough of the life of a contract killer. But escaping his past is as impossible as running from his inner demons....

In the remote and mystical Suja Valley, the farthest corner of the known world, it’s only a matter of time before trouble comes hunting him...or he spills a drop of his own blood.

Pilgrim is a xianxia cultivation novel, inspired by the Witcher books, John Wick films, the Inuyasha anime, the Preacher comics, and the movie Yojimbo.

Good mix of story and action.

I really enjoyed the story. There was a constant stream of new characters and action. Ready for book 2.

Like Peeling a Huge Apple....took forever

So the narrator was on point and did well. The story just drug on and on and on. Takes forever to get to the point and the character still are not completely fleshed out by the end of this book. Eventually you want to get to the point to where you can really sink your in the sweetness of a book. For me it just took 3/4 of the book to finally become enjoyable. But once it did I was into it.

Ronin Eating Soup

My first book by Harmon Cooper. Started off with an interesting fight and topped off with a picnic. Overall, an interesting introduction to a half-human, half-demon protagonist. Story might or not work for some. Guessing we have to read the other books in the series to see how the characters grows and deals with the unique world around him.

Mikael Naramore did a great job on the narration.

a pleasant surprise

I am truly surprised how much I enjoyed the book. I think the characters powers are a bit inconsistent but I am hoping this gets cleared up in later books.

Disjointed Story

The Audible narration was very good and helped me push through the book. The writing style feels a bit amateurish. Referring to the MC as the "former assassin" over and over again get old. The various creatures, entities and characters all speak everyday English with all the common idioms. It's far too convenient and makes the story feel like it developed around a campfire by passing the story lead around. Most of the side quests feel unconnected to the story. Maybe some readers will enjoy the writing style and story. Its not for me and I will not purchase the next book.

could see as a netflix show! damn good

a really good first book. bout to start the second one. i like the setting and its various powers.
can't wait to see the future side jobs and growing overplots

great book good action not op

I really enjoyed this series and I hope the next book can live up to this one really hope everyone who listens to this enjoys it as much as I do I like that the characters are well in depth and has a lot of twists and turns in the story

Another hit from Harmon Cooper

Very interesting new series Harmon has started.

Japanese influences in this one. There is talk of cultivation, demons, legendary swords, foxes and stone lions... can't wait to see what the next one brings.

Fun with Samurai John Wick doing Side Quests

I had so much fun with this Audible. I loved listening to the adventure of tired assassin Danzen helping out the villagers while bracing for his shady past to finally catch up with him. I cant wait for the next book. The Narrator was awesome I hope he does the entire series.

enjoyed the world and character.

enjoyed the world and character. Will have to listen to the rest of the story.
