Acerca de esta escucha

Short-listed for the 2016 British Fantasy Society Award for Best Novel.

Guns of the Dawn is a pacey, gripping fantasy of war and magic from Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky.

The first casualty of war is truth....

First, Denland's revolutionaries assassinated their king, launching a wave of bloodshed after generations of peace. Next they clashed with Lascanne, their royalist neighbour, pitching war machines against warlocks in a fiercely fought conflict.

Genteel Emily Marshwic watched as the hostilities stole her family's young men. But then came the call for yet more Lascanne soldiers in a ravaged kingdom with none left to give. Emily must join the ranks of conscripted women and march towards the front lines.

With barely enough training to hold a musket, Emily braves the savage reality of warfare. But she begins to doubt her country's cause, and those doubts become critical. For her choices will determine her own future and that of two nations locked in battle.

The narrator has few different voices/dialects to choose from making it some times difficult to recognise who is talking.

Good story, not quite as good performance

fun take on the revolutionary war, but told from the perspective of (pinky in the air) "a proper lady".

has a bit of a pride and prejudice feel, but with musket regiments and swamps

revolutionary war, but with warlocks!

So normally I save my audiobooks for when I'm at work so that I don't plow through them too quickly and so that I'm less bored while I'm sewing. I found that to be a near impossibility with this novel. I was absolutely riveted. After work I listened any chance I had a few minutes to myself at home. The plot is intricate without being complicated; the characters - all of them - are complex and multi-dimensional. He took a traditional storyline, one that has been covered countless times through the ages, and effectively turned it completely on its head, without being showy or blatant about it. I loved it. I'm pretty sure I've stumbled over an author who's work I will actively seek out for as long as he writes.

Couldn't "put it down"!

I feel like it is an amazing skill to build such a rich world in one novel. This story was self contained and while I'd love to learn more of the world, I am satisfied with the ending. I also enjoyed how the main character wasn't a "chosen one", "perfect", or super powered. A believable and flawed character, but one for whom you cheer for.

Amazing standalone

Characters not as engaging or outcome as satisfying as I found in the first four books of the Apt series. Great plots and sub plots though. Nice exploration of morals and loyalty dilemmas as experienced by soldiers and societies at war. Those who thrive on the day to day unhappy, horrific, scarring , poignant lives lived in wartime will really really like this book

Loved Apt Series way more

worth it

The book is fantastic, but absolutely would have been more enjoyable if I had the opportunity to stay in the world longer.

The biggest flaw was that there isn't more

I like a good standalone fantasy novel as much as the next fellow. Especially in this time of unfinished trilogies(Rothfuss anyone?) & series' in general(hello G.R.R.M.). That being said, I wish this standalone novel would have had about 3 more chapters. The end seems a little abrupt, but overall this is an excellent story and a marvelous performance from Emma Newman.

Adrian Tchaikovsky strikes again.

Tchaikovsky impresses yet again! Wonderfully vast world and an equally complex story line that invokes critical thought. Every character is brilliantly designed and the voice actress performed amazingly!

Spectacular!
