About this listen
"[Narrator Imogen] Church capably meets the challenge of a diverse group of characters, embodying them and pivoting from one point of view to another from chapter to chapter. In doing so, she ensures that listeners remain fully immersed in the story" — AudioFile Magazine
Debut author Sarah Kozloff offers a breathtaking and cinematic epic fantasy of a ruler coming of age in A Queen in Hiding first in the quartet of The Nine Realms series.
Four books. Four months. Nine Realms.
Exiled and hunted, Cerulia, Princess of Weirandale, knows she has one destiny.
Her enemies failed to kill her, and no one harboring her is safe. Raised in obscurity, she has no resources, no army, nothing that can help her against her enemies.
Except their gods.

Story
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.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Production overdone, pretty good story
I like the story, but I think I would like it better without the narrator overdoing her part. She does have impressive voicing abilities, but so many of her characters sound whiny. Really, really whiny. Every once in awhile it’s appropriate for the situation, but there’s a lot of moments when the voice just doesn’t seem to match the moment. Hopefully she tones it down in the next books. I certainly couldn’t do half as well, so I shouldn’t complain.

A Truly Magnificent Series
Update: Love this series even more with the second listen through!!!
The writing style is brilliant, the words are SO good, I love how the author describes things! and Imogen Chiru is an excellent narrator! The ways she creates so many characters with her voice is excellent. SUCH A GOOD READ!
_________________________
I am an avid audiobook listener. I feel either deeply grateful for a wonderful book, or deeply insulted by a horrible (or lazy) one. Similarly if the narration is grating to listen to it severely lacking - let me assure too that THIS series is WONDERFUL!
•
The Nine Realms Series is a brilliantly built story, so lovely that I couldn't stop listening! I listened to one book after the other, I couldn't stop!!
I finished the whole series in a week and two days!
I absolutely loved this series, and if you love excellent story telling, brilliant narration, and captivating worlds, this series is for you.
I especially loved the detailed world building that the author created, and by the end I felt enraptured by all the beautiful perspectives that culminated into a deep and fulfilling story.
A reviewer said the different perspectives were strange to get used to, but I think the various perspectives added a brilliant stroke of narration, and Imogen Church gives new voices that are easy to learn and catch on to. She is so incredibly talented!!
Hint: listen carefully for the city or region named and you'll know whose story you're following. Easy :)
I was also shocked during some parts of the story, saddened at several moments and joyous at many scenes. I have been utterly moved by this story
Note: this book deals with elements that are painful to hear, and I wouldn't recommend for young listeners.
I appreciate how the author didn't shy away from pain, nor sugarcoat the experiences of her characters, but neither does she over-narrate any element. She has written an excellent balance of realism into her fantastical world.
I'll definitely be keeping this whole series in my library to listen to again and again! I have been sharing it with my fellow book lovers; I've already got three friends listening to it!
I highly recommend this book, and the other three that follow - the story is well worth the listen.
Your book credits will be well spent!!!!!!

True Epic Fantasy
This is a standout story written by an author at the top of their craft. Kozloff writes a truly excellent story, pulling us in to a complex world, teaching the history and politics of multiple nation's & expertly growing characters from diverse nations. The story is incredibly well written. Truly a rare treat, to find an author of this excellence. The narration was perfection also.

new series to enjoy!
I really am enjoying this series. I almost didn't listen because of the bad reviews for the performance. please don't let that discourage you, it is an engaging story and the narrator does a wonderful production! The character they refer to is only a minor character in the beginning of the book and I didn't find it to be too slow anyway. it just felt like it was actually him talking. she does a great job acting everything out! the only thing I might suggest is to download a sample of the book on Kindle so you have access to the map. there are a lot of characters and lands, it helped me follow along better when I had a picture in my mind.

Ms Church was superb: SO many voices. Speckles my favorite. Story is engaging too. Ms. Kozloff not afraid to "kill off" her characters.

This book is an amazing introduction to the world and character growth. Narrative took a bit of adjustment but can't see the rest of the book without this narrator.

Grand Slam! Listen. Now. you'll not regret it.
Wow. I really had no expectations here. Never heard of the author, but the preview was intriguing enough to wishlist it. ..and there it sat. recently that $5 sale included it and so I finally snapped it up.
Wow. The story and characters are really REALLY well developed and strikingly compelling.
The Narrator is absolutely top shelf, just perfect! with a pleasing and flexible voice, she has great depth and range!
This is a new member of my all time fave list. Five stars across the board!
