About this listen

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.

By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

Performed by Dylan Lynch, James Konicek, Ken Jackson, Karen Carbone, Elizabeth Jernigan, Colleen Delany, Tim Getman, Steven Carpenter, David Coyne, Scott McCormick, Christopher Graybill, Richard Rohan, Mort Shelby, Terence Aselford, Sunny Lasskey, Eric Messner, Tom Simpson, Nanette Savard, Amanda Thickpenny, Andy Clemence.

It's an excellent story and the actors are all top notch.

However, please tell the director, or Lightsongs VA, whoever was in charge of him making chewing sounds into the microphone that it's an awful decision and easily the worst part of the experience.

An intriguing tale delivered wonderfully.

Creatively keeps you guessing what the characters are capable of and reflect on your personal moral compass

I got this 1st part on sale for a couple of bucks just to try. Very glad I did, and will be purchasing the full version momentarily.
The acting/narrations are first rate, and the story is very interesting.
The audio editing is decent, though not the best - some of the voices are hard to hear because background sounds/music are too loud, which is especially noticeable when listening in a car. The music and sound effects themselves are very good however.
Highly recommend (at least this 1st part of) this Audible, just be prepared to have to play with your sound settings (pitch, bass, etc...).
I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the book.

surprisingly great in almost every way

Good story, great performances by all, but dear gods the constant background music and "muttering noises" got old very fast. I've listened to other graphic audio predictions and enjoyed them immensely, but this one? F*ck no.

I won't be finishing the other two parts of this version, I'm getting the standard audio book version.

Musical background annoying

Been working my way through the Cosmere, starting with Stormlight Archive then Mistborn. As a standalone book I wasn't sure how much I'd like Warbreaker but it's incredible. This dramatized version is my first experience with a graphic audio and I was blown away, the different voice actors for characters and sound effects are phenomenal. Its now completely spoiled regular audio books for me and now every audio book I listen to I pray has a dramatized version. 10/10

Far Better Than Expected

Book is good. Sound effect too loud. Bad choice of accents. Love the idea though.

good book, too 'noisy' performance

I’m a fan of Graphic Audio. They always have the BEST audiobooks of the market. The special effects, sounds, and performances add so much to the story!!

No audiobook is better than Graphic audio

I came across this book in my browsing and am so glad I did
It’s a great story and I love the graphic audio version. I did listen to the regular version as well which was also quite good
I’ll be using a credit to add this to my library permanently
Well worth it!!

Amazing

Im impressed by the idea of a graphic audio book, i love how it makes me feel more immersed in the story. However, when following along with the book a few times it skipped over a few paragraphs that subtly changed the meaning of a scene. Other than that, a wonderful experience.

So far so good

The voice actors do a fantastic job! Occasionally the sound effects and music drown out the narrators words for a second or two, but that's the only thing I disliked about this fantastic audio book.

Incredible Voice Acting
