Historia
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Excellent!
Revisado: 04-14-23
Everything about this book is just beautiful. The story itself, although following a “Hero’s Journey” storyline, was done with beautifully unique characters, creatures and a magic system that made my soul sing. Lots of twists and turns, highs and lows. There is so much sadness and pain in the characters that resonated with me and I know the spirit of this book will resonate with so many other people.
If you’re on the fence, just buy the book/audiobook. You will not be disappointed.

Historia
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Prophecy, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

Loved it but took a while to get through
Revisado: 03-26-23
I loved this one almost as well as the others in the series thus far but it did take me the longest to get through. I laughed, cried, cheered, mourned and hung on through all the ups and downs that the characters went through. Excited for the next one.

Even Better than I remembered it
Revisado: 11-24-22
I first read this book in middle school. Now, over 25 years later, not only is it better than I remember it being, it carries so much more weight.
It’s poetic and enchanting and heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same.
The audio performance is perfect (in my opinion) and brought me to tears as many times as it made me laugh and sigh.
You will not be disappointed in this listen. Not in the slightest. As a matter of fact, I bet you’ll want to listen to it again. I know I will be.

I was literally pacing around the house and jumping up and down at so many parts of this book. I laughed and I cried more than once.
I loved every part of it.

Chris, if you see this…Thanks for the ride
Revisado: 01-13-22
I had so much fun listening to this adventure. After making it to the final book in the series and seeing its completion… It’s like I’ve watched friends grow up and mature. The entire series was extremely unique and a joy to experience. I especially loved how the world seemed to just get bigger and bigger with every book in the series. Thank you so much! What a ride!

Kept me on my toes
Revisado: 10-07-21
My favorite part of this book is that it was in no way predictable in regards to plot. I mean, I knew there would be a love interest but aside from that, every chapter was a surprise.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eager to listen to the next one.

Historia
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.

Why didn’t I listen sooner??
Revisado: 01-27-21
Friends had been recommending this book for ages and I was always tied up in one series or another, and never picked this one up.
Holy cow...I’m so glad I finally did. The Way of Kings is obviously masterfully written, but it was performed incredibly well too.
I love a good, LONG, epic fantasy, with a slow burn and build to a finale that gives me chicken skin and leaves me pacing around the house listening (or reading). I was literally talking to the characters like I do when I watch a really intense movie.
It was just...wow. Freaking amazing. The world building, the character development, the plot, the plot twists, and all the different characters that seem to be walking completely disconnected paths, but will eventually be brought together...It’s just so well done.
I don’t want to sound cliche, but there is a very good chance that this book just took a spot on my “Top Shelf” list of favorites.
Absolutely amazing.
Love it, love it, love it.

For 20 years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his....
