Historia
The world is changing. Poison desert eats good farmland. Once-sweet water turns foul. The wind blows sand and sadness across the Empire. To get caught in a storm is death. To live and do nothing is death. There is magic in the world, but good conjure is hard to find. Djola, righthand man and spymaster of the lord of the Arkhysian Empire, is desperately trying to save his adopted homeland, even in exile.

Great ideas; questionable execution
Revisado: 04-04-23
loved the concept but it's WAY too long for what it actually delivers. also, the female reader's performance is unbearably flat and robotic. the male reader, on the other hand, is phenomenal. still worth a listen if you have 12+ hours to kill and a spare audible credit!

Historia
Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues - a bee, a key, and a sword.

Worth a listen
Revisado: 09-29-21
Before purchasing this book, I read the reviews for it, and it seemed that most people either loved it or hated it. I think my opinion would be solidly in the middle. The first half of the book was very compelling. I thought the characters felt very real, and the prose was deliciously meta. I also enjoyed hearing the fairytale-like vignettes. The cast of readers really shines here too; I greatly enjoyed each person's performance. However, the structure of the book started to unravel the closer I got to the end. What started out as a juicy mystery ended as a boring infodump that I couldn't wait to finish. I won't spoil the ending here, but suffice it to say that the pacing was miserable, making the ending horribly unsatisfying. With all of that said, I would still encourage others to give this book a try because there are several elements that work well (at least in the beginning).

Historia
The unapologetic intensity with which Emily Brontë wrote this story ensures that it will forever be considered one of the greatest works of English literature. A passionate tale of a chaotic and often violent love, Wuthering Heights transcends your average romance and, with its Gothic undertones, takes the listener on a journey through one man's lustful hunt for revenge.

Brought my favorite book to life
Revisado: 09-24-21
I absolutely love this book and the way Brontë uses the Gothic to describe intergenerational cycles of abuse, addiction, and trauma. The reader is PHENOMENAL and brings the characters to life with her nuanced performance. Can't recommend this enough!
