About this listen
Survivor. Sorceress. Rebel.
After the disastrous expedition to the island volcano, Ioene, Lilik is home with a warning. The malevolent tyrant, Mieshk Ulstat, is gathering devastating magical power. Unchecked, Mieshk will obliterate Kiriilti civilization. But when the ruling Trader Council refuses to heed her, Lilik turns to her own kind: the gutterborn.
As Lilik rallies rebels from the slums, she delves into her abilities as a soul priestess through contact with a nightforged dagger. Tyrak, the soul imprisoned within the blade, mistakes Lilik for his love from centuries past. Through their complicated bond, she learns the arts of swordplay and leadership. But when a surprise attack comes from a rogue trader House, she learns the hard truth of war: no plan survives first contact with the enemy.
Warships lay siege to the city. Traders and gutterborn clash in the streets. And with each passing day, the true enemy just grows stronger.

Story
Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

Kieran is here for revenge. He's here to kill the most powerful man in Magical San Francisco—his father. He'll destroy anything in his way. And I've managed to catch his eye. I live in the shadows for a reason, split between the worlds of the magical and the mundane. I'm a punching bag for both societies, but with the magic of Hades, it's the only way to stay alive. To stay free. If the powers that be knew what I was, they'd slap me in a cage and make me their weapon.

My name is Amelia Gray. I'm a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to these rules passed down from my father…until now. Detective John Devlin needs my help to find a killer, but he is haunted by ghosts who shadow his every move. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I've vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the headstone symbols lead me closer to truth and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already...until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago - the same place where he mysteriously died.

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.

Simply fantastic
Pulls you in further and further with every word. I love it.
Discovered it because I love the narrator. I took a chance on the author and it paid off big. Story is exceptional and characters are extremely interesting and 4 dimensional.
Great job.

Being gutterborn doesn’t hold Lilik down, she will be heard!
The voice was a bit weird for me at first but after a bit it became pleasant. I love that the narrator has made an effort to give each character an unique voice, be it the tone of voice or a little accent. That makes it easier to follow, and pleasant. Simply put, I love the work of the narrator and will definitely enjoy other audiobooks by read by her.
About the story itself:
I was so sure this book would begin with rallying up some people in Istanik and the troops would set to Ioene and the story would develop there.
In truth, rallying up some people is a hard thing to do, especially if you’re not a Trader but gutterborn like Lilik and even more so when only a small group of people have made it off Ioene without proof of what happened over there.
In this book we experience the struggle for Lilik to be heard by the Trader Counsil, an important feat because that counsil desides whether or not there will be a need for a journey back to Ioene, since Traders control the ships and all.
So Lilik has a big task ahead of her. In the meantime she has to get used to being a celebrity amongst the gutterborn but in the end, she gets to mold that fact to her advantage.
The title makes so much sense after reading a particular part about Lilik noticing a Nightwoven Blade. Through that blade we can understand a bit more what is means for a spirit to be trapped inside an item and what it means to handle a nightwoven blade. I won’t say more so I won’t spoiler anyting but that Shadowbound thing is a great addition to the story.
I loved every second of this book. The only thing I hate was that I had to put it down for month because of a health issue that rendered me unable to read for way too many months. This isn’t the lightest read out there (and therefor I was forced to stop reading this story for way too long because my mind wouldn’t process what I was reading through the pain) but it has become one of my all time favorite epic fantasy stories. These series need to be see, and heard more because Carrie writes some great stories! (Read The Broken Lands first, recommend both these series with a passion)

Dragging on.
The first book was ok. This one just dragging on and on in the end. And the whole love triangle / square thing going on seems really unimaginative and childish.
