Acerca de esta escucha
An emperor fights to reclaim her power and her place on the throne in this "utterly absorbing" fantasy tale of magic, mystery, and revolution (Emily Duncan).
The emperor's reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire's many islands.
Lin is the emperor's daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. When her father refuses to recognise her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic.
Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright - and save her people.

Historia
Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

Historia
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Liar. Thief. Legend. Ardor Benn is no ordinary thief. Rakish, ambitious, and master of wildly complex heists, he styles himself a Ruse Artist Extraordinaire. When a priest hires him for the most daring ruse yet, Ardor knows he'll need more than quick wit and sleight of hand. Assembling a dream team of forgers, disguisers, schemers, and thieves, he sets out to steal from the most powerful king the realm has ever known. But it soon becomes clear there's more at stake than fame and glory - Ard and his team might just be the last hope for human civilization.

There’s no formal training for battlefield salvage. You just have to pick things up as you go along. Swords, armour, arrows–and the bodies, of course. Over the years, Saevus Corax has picked up a lot of things. Some of them have made him decent money, others have brought nothing but trouble. But it’s a living, and somebody has to deal with the dead. Something else that Saevus has buried is his past. Unfortunately, he didn’t quite succeed.

KJ Characters (BrettD Review)
- De Brett en 10-27-23
De: K. J. Parker
a very excellent read
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
THE GOOD
Pacing: First off, the pacing is excellent. The author employs a trick used by graphic novel writers to keep you coming back for the next chapter (or issue in the case of comics); she ends each chapter with a mini cliffhanger. It works great for keeping you invested in the story, and due to it the book has nearly flawless pacing.
Characters: All of the characters are interesting, altough Lin, Jovis, and Sand are the stand-outs. Phalue & Ranami aren't quite as compelling for me, but I appreciate the complexity of their relationship. I also appreciate that they are a lesbian couple and that is really no big deal at all. Unlike ours, this Fantasy world is apparently not obsessed with how people have sex. It was quite refreshing.
Point of View: I was surprised when I realized that the book shifts back and forth from first and third person perspectives. It was so smooth that I didn't notice at first. Usually such a switch would be jarring or at least noticeable, but in this case it was handled deftly by the writer. An impressive feat for a new author.
Island Setting: I enjoyed the shades of Earthsea I detected with the world being made up of islands. Islands that migrate! I'm looking forward to learning more about that particular detail.
Cool Magic Systems: Right now the book appears to have two different magic systems, one which is delved into with some detail, the other which is a bit more vague, though I suspect future volumes will better explain. The Bone Shard magic that this book details is interesting and unusual. It seems to be a mostly "hard" magic system, though time will tell.
Unsolved Mysteries: the author does a great job of surrounding Lin, Jovis, and Sand's stories with multiple layers of mystery. And while we do get some answers by the end of the book, they just create more questions. I can't wait for the next book to learn more!
Prose: I'd actually say the prose is neither good nor bad, it mainly just doesn't "get in the way". There is no real poetry to the writing, but neither is the writing or dialogue "clunky".
THE BAD
That's a bit of an exaggeration, since there was nothing bad about this book at all. I will indulge in some nitpicking however...
Rushed/Pat Ending: the book ties things up somewhat abruptly at the end. There are some moments which feel a little too choreographed, and left me wanting a little more, especially where character interactions are concerned.
Anti-climatic Climax: so the "final battle" that one characters story led up to was a little undercooked. What should have been an exciting action scene lacked a lot of the tension necessary to build excitement. As a new author I'm sure she'll improve here, and it wasn't BAD, just not the Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson/Joe Abercrombie level of "boss battle" I've become accustomed to. (I'm spoiled, I know).
No Humor: It is actually quite a compliment to the writing that it didn't occur to me until about 80% of the way into the book that there is almost no humor at all. While this certainly isn't grimdark, the lack of humorous dialogue may leave some readers feeling it's lack, especially if you are used to writers who mix in witty banter with their drama. Despite the lack of laugh-out-loud moments, I don't feel the book lacked for much. The book has a lighter and more hopeful tone, so the humor is not needed to offset the drama as it would in say... a grimdark book.
THE VERDICT
Don't let the "BAD" points I listed stop you from reading, as again, they were all just nitpicks really.
This is a fabulous first book from a clearly talented writer, and I'll be anxiously awaiting for the sequel!
p.s. great narration!

*Lin : The daughter of the Emperor. Lin has lost all of her memory and must regain it before she can be heir and also prove that she is more worthy of the right than her adoptive brother.
*Jovis: (my favorite) he is a smuggler with so much Flynn Rider vibes it's not funny. He is on a mission to rescue his wife even after it's been years since she has been taken. Once his new companion Mephi comes into his life something inside him starts to awaken.
* Ranami : The Daughter of a Governor who has fallen in love with a commoner woman who tries to show her how bad it really is in the "real world"
*Sand: She has an accident that awakes her from a haze and once you start learning more about her it is mind blowing.
I did so enjoy this book and can not wait for the next one
Spectacular

Narration-- there have been a lot of reviews about the narration.
I think Emily Woo Zellar did a great job narrating. While some have reviewed her negatively, in my opinion, the issues rest with the post-production, not with the narrator. Natalie Naudus' performance was fine. She does drag out words, often in a monotone voice (think Kim Kardashian) which is a personal pet peeve of mine, and her pacing sometimes sounded a little awkward, like run-on sentances. Feodor Chin's choice for the voice of Mephi a little odd but otherwise enjoyable.
Kudos to the audio publisher for actually hiring Asian performers.
Looking forward to the next one

The author had a beautiful writing technique. I hadn't even realize till later that two characters where written in first person and the other two third person. They flowed so well I didn't feel the transition. And as I have read other reviews I now know too how fervently the Author respects the readers intelligents. Often things can be over explained to the point were you feel annoyed and insulted or even more often to were you can't develop your own thoughts or feelings. So with out the author hammering ideas into your head the story now has the opportunity of becoming unique to each of it's readers.
The map, yes thank you Andrea Stewart, was gorgeous. The soft detailed lines brought this Asian-inspired fantasy to life in my mind. Also the world building was very nice. Again I was so surprised by this book. I loved the diversity of the different characters. Poor, Noble, single, tragic, in love, betrayed, honorable. They all had a unique facet to them. As well the empires magic reminded me of necromancy with a distinctive element of its own. And what I thought was a predictable plot totally blew up in my face.
Good? Not Good? Definitely good. Hell yes Mephi was my favorite. Very supportive and enduring. I WANT ONE SO BAD! Though even with his cuteness the plot was more chilling than I realized going in. There was a build up, a sense of foreboding. Multiple theories dashed through my head and I could never pin them down. In the end this book seemed to be a set up for something much greater. Though I didn't mind it in the least. The author steadily gave information at a perfect pace, the story stayed engrossed. Furthermore Natalie Naudus, Feodor Chin, Emily Woo Zeller did a beautiful job narrating. I will definitely be back for book two.
