"Non-stop action! Space battles! Intrigue! This is the kind of space opera that I love best - but Elliott does it even better." (New York Times best-selling author Ann Leckie)
New York Times best-selling author Kate Elliott brings us a thrilling new science fiction adventure set in a rich universe full of political intrigue with Unconquerable Sun.
Gender-Spun Alexander the Great on an Interstellar Scale
Princess Sun has finally come of age.
Growing up in the shadow of her mother, Eirene, has been no easy task. The legendary queen-marshal did what everyone thought impossible: expel the invaders and build Chaonia into a magnificent republic, one to be respected - and feared.
But the cutthroat ambassador corps and conniving noble houses have never ceased to scheme - and they have plans that need Sun to be removed as heir, or better yet, dead.
To survive, the princess must rely on her wits and companions: her biggest rival, her secret lover, and a dangerous prisoner of war.
Take the brilliance and cunning courage of Princess Leia - add in a dazzling futuristic setting where pop culture and propaganda are one and the same - and hold on tight: This is the space opera you’ve been waiting for.

It’s voiced by one of my favorite narrators Natalie Naudus and she does such a great job with this book.
There is some stage setting in the very beginning, but once all of the pieces fall into place it’s just a constant roller coaster ride of action packed snarky fun. The first part is world building and then it just lifts off like a rocket.
It’s a gender swapped Alexander the Great in space where all of the important characters are strong and powerful queer women. Queer relationships are just normalized within the world structure. Many of the marriages are constructed for political alliances and gender is not a factor. Princess Sun (the title character) has a relationship with a woman which she keeps secret only because she is not from the right political family and not because she is a woman.
It’s well written, fast paced, and tons of fun. The book’s part space opera, part military science fiction, full of political intrigue, non-stop action, and the dialogue is snarky fun. Natalie Naudus’s narration is excellent - all of the character voices are distinct and unique so even though there is a large cast of folks you can entirely distinguish between them by their voices.
I just finished re-listening to it in order to prepare for the sequel and I loved it just as much the second time around.
Fun and Fast Paced Space Opera!

Confusing timeframes and characters

My biggest disappointment in this production is that M Naudus did not take a credit at the end of the performance, because it was *excellent*. Multiple voices of multiple genders, plus seamless pronunciation of tonal languages.
This was well worth my time.
A Pleasant Experience

It's always a hard start for me with so many characters to set up. It can feel disjointed. By the end I was ready for the next book and wanted to follow all the characters as the story pulls them together. I enjoyed the world being based on earth Eastern style names and overall background. It's a nice change from everything being based on Greek and Roman mythology.
There is no explicit sex but this is a polyamorous and pan sexual society over all. It is just treated as normal with no associated drama.
It was slow to start but picked up and went for it

The characters are for the most part well-developed, and I expect that we'll see more going forward.
There are a host of Easter eggs and nods for both history buffs and pop culture fans. I was smiling ear to ear through the whole listen, aside from the occasional emotional gut punch. Really looking forward to the next volume.
(And as an aside, was really nice to have proper pronunciations for the Chinese names from the VA.)
