Red Sonja: Consumed

De: Gail Simone

Narrado por: Felicia Day

Red Sonja, the iconic, fiery, she-devil with a sword, is reinvented for a new generation in this action-packed epic fantasy by legendary comic book writer Gail Simone.

The gutsy, wild, tortured free spirit, forged in pain yet unafraid of life or death, Red Sonja, the famous, fiery She-Devil and barbarian of Hyrkania has never concerned herself with the consequences of her actions. She’s taken what she wanted, from treasure to drink to the companionship of bedfellows. She’s fought who deserved it (and sometimes those who didn’t). And she’s never looked back.

But when rumors start bubbling up from her homeland—rumors of unknown horrors emerging from the ground and pulling their unsuspecting victims to their deaths—and a strange voice begins whispering to her in her sleep, she realizes she may have to return to the country that abandoned her. And finally do the only thing that has ever scared her: confront her past.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fierce and fascinating. This is the story Red Sonja has always deserved. Unmissable."—Felicia Day

"I'm always thrilled by the freshness and clarity of Gail Simone's thought, the inventiveness of her imagination, and the power of her insights--but most of all, by her power to entertain in story after story."
—Joe Hill, author of The Fireman

“Veteran comics writer Simone’s triumphant debut novel … quickly immerses readers in a lush fantasy world. … Simone leavens the frequent violence with humor and makes her heroine feel simultaneously larger-than-life and deeply human. The result is an exciting new chapter for a cult-favorite character.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A confession

I greatly enjoy Gail Simone's superhero comics work. I always drop her name when someone asks me "who are your favorite writers?" But I have never read any of her Red Sonja comics, and that is clearly a failing on my part. This novel is incredible, showing a depth of love for a character that has been largely maligned or reduced to sexy lamp status. Mix Simone's stellar storytelling with Felicia Day's brilliant narration, and you have a combination that is not to be missed. You owe it to yourself to listen to this tale. You will not be sorry you did.

What I was looking for

I'm a long time fan of sword and sorcery, and this absolutely scratched my itch! Wonderful story, terrific narration.

excellent

fantastic red sonja novel. reminded me of game of thrones just with red sonja characters. if you like the character, you will like this novel.

Fun Story great Narration

I’m a Gail Simone fan and she delivers a fun story with humor and drama. Felicia Day does a great job narrating the story (I wasn’t sure how great her Sonja voice would be but she does a wonderful job)

Well worth the time

This book kept me engaged and eager to hear more of the story any time I got a chance

Exciting tale with outstanding narration.

Gail Simone's Red Sonja comics were a treat, a high point in the character's history. This book continues that tradition. It has an exciting plot, deep and colorful characterizations, and a lush setting. Felicia Day's performance makes it nearly perfect.

Great read

I’ve long loved the comics, and Gail has done a great job with those. But this is next level. Great story, excellent delve into Sonja’s origin. Really loved it and I hope this is only the first of a series, I will buy every one!

Fantastic!

The book and narration really felt like a classical Robert E Howard novel set in the Conan universe! Hope to see more soon!

Simone and Day—Quite a Pair

Amazing story. Very creative. Well-written. Engrossing. FD does a terrific job as the story teller.

Perfect Marriage of Writer, Voice Actor, and Character

A Red Sonja story by Gail Simone read by Felicia Day? Perfection. If you aren't a fan of Red Sonja, this book will make you one.
