Kingdoms of Death

Sun Eater, Book 4

De: Christopher Ruocchio

Narrado por: Samuel Roukin

The fourth novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues down a path that can only end in fire.

Hadrian Marlowe is trapped.

For nearly a century, he has been a guest of the Emperor, forced into the role of advisor, a prisoner of his own legend. But the war is changing. Mankind is losing.

The Cielcin are spilling into human space from the fringes, picking their targets with cunning precision. The Great Prince Syriani Dorayaica is uniting their clans, forging them into an army and threat the likes of which mankind has never seen.

And the Empire stands alone.

Now the Emperor has no choice but to give Hadrian Marlowe—once his favorite knight—one more impossible task: Journey across the galaxy to the Lothrian Commonwealth and convince them to join the war. But not all is as it seems, and Hadrian's journey will take him far beyond the Empire, beyond the Commonwealth, impossibly deep behind enemy lines.

WOW

This story. This story is one of the best and greatest, emotionally scarring yet beautiful stories I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It evoked such emotional highs and lows, the sheer span of time it traversed... I dont kbow. I suck at describing things in general, but suffice to say this story moved me. Truly and irrevocably moved me. I sweated, cried, rejoiced, and laughed almost in equal measures. i felt anger, and pain, bliss and happiness, the characters, the scenery, the worlds, the endless dark of deep space. Im not blowing smoke, this story is EPIC and glorious, and Im willing to physically fight anyone who disputes this fact haha

Horrific but excellent

The story is so compelling and deeply tragic, but somehow not grimdark. Each of the books in this series are profound in some way, whether it's the intricate worldbuilding or the dramatic characterization. This one really hit me in the feels.

Brutal!!! Amazing!!!!

Not for the faint of heart. But oh the journey!!! He's getting better and better with each book

Brutal

I almost stopped half way through but I had to see if I could make it through, had to see how Marlow could possibly get out of this one. I’m not sure either of us did. Brutal.

Great characters. Amazing story. Brilliant writing.

this series is so good. the author has a distinct prose. Thre world building is some of the best I've ever read. makes you want to not put it down.

heavy.

favorite book of the series, dark and extremely heavy. will leave you shattered and heartbroken.

May be my new favorite series…

I’m a huge Red Rising fan…. It’s been my favorite series for a few years. But this series might be even better in some ways.

The narrator is just incredible. I will find everything he’s done just to continue journeys with him.

Cielcin are the worst.

Hadrian went through a lot in this book and even thought it’s a sad ending I am happy for Hadrian.

Great book, but depressing .

Love everything about this. I love the narrator. I love the story and I am invested in the characters and the world.

brutal inspiring cathartic

I don't usually do reviews but here it goes to start with the negative the only thing that bugged me was some of the narration mostly for the main villain he has a goofy cartoony voice which was hard to get used to. but that aside I have never felt so many emotions going through a book the lows it takes you too are gut wrenching. but the bizzare hope and comfort you feel at the end are so unexpected and so needed. this is a masterpiece of a narrative.
