Five Broken Blades

Five Broken Blades, Book 1

De: Mai Corland

Narrado por: Greg Chun, Zion Jang, Roger Yeh, Donald Chang, Jaine Ye, Sophie Oda

It's the season for treason …
The king of Yusan must die.

The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the god king Joon.

He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined … or sold.

And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness—from the hired hit man seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance.

They can agree on murder.
They can agree on treachery.

But for these five killers—each versed in deception, lies, and betrayal—it’s not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other … but only one can take the crown.

Let the best liar win.

This audiobook is narrated by Donald Chang, Greg Chun, Zion Jang, Sophie Oda, Jaine Ye, and Roger Yeh.

loved the voice actors

it was a great book with a lot of twists and turns it had me gasping and saying "no!"

Gripping story!

I felt as if I was watching a well-written drama play out in real time. The action, the suspense, the romance, the plot twist… so good! I’m completely hooked and can’t wait for book 2! The cast did fantastic and were all very believable.

A heist with a little murder as a treat...

Gorgeous performance by several narrators bring a daring heist to life as the book cycles through points of view. All of the main characters try to puzzle out their partner's motives while trying to succeed in their own. Read this if you like heists, unreliable narrators, and subterfuge. The twist at the end is exactly what you'll suspect until it isn't...

Five different motives - will one betray?

Compelling plot line, keeps you guessing. Wish there were more reveals along the way until the very end.

nice pace!

The plot and twist of this book was achieved! It was a great story, can't wait for next book!

Annoyed (but I loved it)

I have to wait until January to find out what happens to our wayward friends? Ughhhh

This book was so good. It was suspenseful in the best way. I don’t normally like first person perspectives because often the narrators are oblivious about obvious things, but what was great about this was they are purposefully hiding things from the reader and each other, and I understand why they ignore some of the signs that something is amiss! I can’t wait to read the next one.

Book review

It took me a while to into the story, after I learned the characters and the plot, I enjoyed the story.

Who is the best lair?!

This book had a great amount of betrayal and love, at least we think it’s love! So many talented people and characters that you cannot help but fall for. This really had me in deep thinking at times and on the edge of my seat for most of the book. Hoping and wishing for all of them. The eagerness to see if they could pull this off, was overwhelming! What an ending?! Woah!

A masterpiece

Excellent story, and fantastic voice acting! I can’t wait for the next book! 5 stars all around

Twists and turns galore!

Excellent book! This was my first read by this author and I’m hooked. I loved the narrators too. So excited for the next book.
