About this listen
It is God's year 54, many years before the Demon Wars, in the land of Corona. The roads are unsafe to travel; goblins and bloodthirsty Powries search out human prey. Two religions struggle fiercely for control. Bran Dynard, a monk of the fledgling religion of Abelle, returns from his mission in a far-off land with a book of mystical knowledge and a beautiful and mysterious new wife. But he soon realizes that the world he left behind has changed, and his dream of spreading the wisdom he learned to his fellow monks is crushed. Forced to hide his wife and his precious book, Bran must decide whom he can trust and where he should now place his faith.
Twenty years later, the situation has grown darker and more desperate. Only the Highwayman travels freely, his sword casting aside both Powries and soldiers. The people need a savior, but is the Highwayman on a mission of mercy...or vengeance?

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.

Story
Daven Carrickson grew up as a beggar in the filthy alleys beneath the shadows of the palace. He's the son of a known thief, disgraced and despised. His only real talent is his ability with a sword, and his only real chance at finding honor or a home is a desperate dream of joining the King's Guard. Then, Daven receives a new future when Master Claighan invites him to study magic at the Academy. The wizard offers to make him into a new kind of soldier: a swordsman equally skilled with forged blades and mystic forces.

Story
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents’ kitchen. It’s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear! I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it.

Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

Excellent story. I continue to be an RAS fan. Glad to see something new and away from the Forgotten Relms series, not that I have anything bad to say about Drizzt. This has the same graphic sword play with magic mixes in there too. Good characters and of course the narration is excellent

Yikes this is bleak. Absolutely amazing characters and world building.
Incredibly mature and grim dark. Totally unexpected too as I always associated this author with books aimed at a younger audience or flashy and immature. This however is far from YA and honestly some of the subject matters were even incredibly mature and disturbing even for me. My stomach turned a few times with how dark this got and how little relief there is from this bleak world.
This book totally took me off guard as I went into it thinking it was going to be a lot lighter then what it was. I'm not disappointed though as I found the experience to be incredible and surprising in the most positive of ways. I'm glad this was a mature and adult oriented fantasy novel.
Initially I was a bit lost. The first half doesn't hold your hand very well. It sort of gives you the story all jumbled up and out of order. Somewhere around the midway point there is a scene that put a lot of it together finally and made it make sense on who was associated to who. From that midway point I really started to enjoy myself as the plot really felt like it was gaining steam. Also the delivery from that point on is easier to follow with the time line.
I grew to love this style of writing as the world and character building was all about showing instead of telling, which is my favorite style of world building. We get to see the world fleshed out naturally and shown intimate scenes that speak on the personality of important characters instead of clumps of exposition. The writing for example would display passage of time even by showing, like telling you about a child character now with a beard to explain a jump forward in time. So many great examples of showing instead of info dumps, love the style this author leaned into so much.
Overall this book was depressing though. If you're in the right book and prepared for that I'd recommend this. The writing was so enjoyable with great built up characters, world building that is spread out in a easy way and a slowish plot but still enjoyable way to start a series.

Just discovered GraphicAudio...
I recently came upon these books, or rather narrative movies, while trying to find what to use my credits on when I stumbled across the curious header. "Graphic audio - a movie in your head".
It is just that, as long as you have a good author.
I looked for an author I was familiar with and I gleefully downloaded the first one I saw.
Theyre amazing for someone like me with ADHD where I can listen to this "movie" and get my work done at the same time.
Audible makes it easy for me to go back a couple minutes if I get distracted, too.
