While the hefty run time may discourage some listeners, this should be a winner for bibliophiles and fans of intricate worldbuilding and mystery. For those who enjoyed Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea.
There is a lot to enjoy here, with a fantastic setting, a feisty heroine, and hints of a deeper mystery that calls to mind the depths of Frank Herbert’s Dune and its intertwined cultural and religious issues.
This is comparative history at its best. Narrator Tom Perkins does a brilliant job bringing the voices of historical figures, which are at times unbelievable and hilarious, to life.
Warrior nuns, mystical powers, mysterious technology, and false prophecy come full circle in this stunning, immersive conclusion to a gritty fantasy series with appeal to adults and young adults alike.
Vivid worldbuilding and fast-paced action enhance this powerful coming-of-age story. Readers who loved Red Sister will find this second series outing even more compelling.
In this stunning, action-filled series launch, Lawrence ("Broken Empire" trilogy) establishes a fantastic world in which religion and politics are dark and sharp as swords, with magic and might held in the hands of wonderful and dangerous women. Impatient George R.R. Martin's fans will find this a pleasing alternative until the next installment in his "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga arrives.
Jal is a perfect cad of a hero. Although he cheats and lies and seems as shallow as can be, when push comes to shove he is not a bad man to have at your back (as long as it's in his best interests). Set in another part of the world Lawrence explored in his "Broken Empire" series (Prince of Thorns), the book's exciting action and quick-witted dialog make it a fantastic summer page-turner for epic fantasy fans.
