Description
A young knight, a mysterious, dark forest, life and death choices.
The Retreat is a grim medieval adventure. A band of survivors are returning from a failed expedition to the Holy Land. One of only a handful of knights in this army is Guibert of Rocadamour, a young noble who wants nothing more than to become a legendary hero whom people will sing songs about.
Brave but inexperienced, Guibert must make several difficult decisions as rival groups among the remnants of the army vie for his support. As they draw closer to the safety of the French border, those stark choices become a matter of life or death.
The best-selling author of Epic, Conor Kostick researches medieval history at Trinity College Dublin. As a novelist, Conor is a White Ravens and IBBY Honours List winner. He was shortlisted for the American Library Association's "Best Books for Young Adults" awards and has won the Reading Association of Ireland's Special Merit award.

Although I did not particular care for the narrator the book transported me into a DnD game. This will be a great book rec for my DnD patrons. The writing was very good. The author caught the medieval time period well.

Entertaining. Thats what I thought of this book. It was pretty action packed from start to finish and I couldn't complain. The storyline was interesting and the characters had good development. I actually had issues with the audiobook aspect. I think my concern was the voice. Very good for the specific storyline, a knight, but it just didn't do it for me. and i think it took away from my enjoyment of the story. I would be interested to see what would have happened if I read the book instead.
Thank you to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and Connor Kostick for providing me an advanced reading copy of the audiobook.

Thank you net galley for offering me a free copy of the Retreat in exchange for a honest review
An action packed audiobook that will never allow your attention to falter the retreat was an extremely interesting read and a really good start for people like me who usually don't pick up action filled books to get into the genre. The characters especially the MC were extremely well developed as was the world building
