The Tattered Banner (Society of the Sword #1) 
In a world where magic is outlawed, ability with a sword is prized above all else. For Soren this means the chance to live out his dreams.
Plucked from a life of privation, he is given a coveted place at Ostenheim’s Academy of Swordsmanship, an opportunity beyond belief.
Opportunity is not always what it seems however, and gifts rarely come without conditions. Soren becomes an unwitting pawn in a game of intrigue and treachery that could cost him not just his dreams, but also his life.
Where do I start...I was not expecting much from this book I bought it on a whim at 3am after a few drinks but i absolutely loved this book and the 5* I gave it is totally justified in my opinion. It centres around soren and his rise from the streets to a brilliant swordsman. The story itself is simply written so easy to follow. It is in the style of a rags to riches story. There is violence, duelling, a form of magic, a love interest, politics and betrayal. The magic isn't explained at all
I just finished reading the Society of the Sword trilogy by Duncan M. Hamilton and need to share my thoughts while they're fresh. The series is available in one unit in audiobook form on Audible, which is what this review is based upon.Duncan M. Hamilton is the author of The Wolf in the North series which is set in the same world as Society of the Sword and follows it. I've given much better ratings to those books and as a TL;DR I recommend you go read them instead of these.I felt that this

3 Stars for Story, 4 Stars for Narration by Derek Perkins = 3.5 Stars TotalMini-Review: The first story in the Society of the Sword is a simple swashbuckling tale and coming of age story of young boy. The story started off on a strong foot and kept my attention for the most part. As details were flushed out in setting and characters, it seemed like the writing becomes a bit frazzled and loses a bit of the clarity and purpose that is present in the start. I would highly recommend this story for
an excellent book good start to this series. looking forward to reading the next books in this series.
Well done Mr. Hamilton.There is more behind the story than one first think.Excellent characters and twist and turns. Good choice of the ending which is not the expected big cliffhanger.I look forward to read the next book in the series.
A well written, entertaining read with enough unexpected twists and turns to make it very hard to put the book down. Mr. Hamilton has done a fine job creating a believable world with interesting characters and relatable emotions. Tattered Banners is an exciting book which keeps the reader on their toes and is filled with adventure and excitement. Soren, saved from a life on the street by a rich and famous swordsman, finds himself having to learn new skills in the Academy of Swordsmanship as well
