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 be collected only one unit at a time from individual people.
By using breath and drawing upon the colour 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.

A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in.

One of my favorite authors. Only 1 small complaint
- By R. W. Olsen on 11-30-18
By: Naomi Novik
The narrator can't keep accents the same so I got a confused at times as to who was talking. Go get some acting voice training.
As usual great story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Another brilliant other worldy society by Brandon
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This is a story of finding one's self. Of magical worlds and wonders. If you liked Sanderson's other works you will love this one too. The story takes place in the cosmere and if you read the stormlight archives like the oathbringer, you will find lot of inside references.
The book is surprising, the plot twists are really good. The characters are well developed and the world building is substantial. Narration is immaculate and easily likable. Every fan of high fantasy should read this. Buy it now, you won't be disappointed.
A bit more positive than Sanderson's usual works

I rated performance as 4 because 5 is reserved for perfection. This one is still very good.
Good as a standalone, great as a Cosmere addition
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Spoiler warning:
Narrator mispronounces a name at one point which makes the character seem suspicious (“blood fingers”), it’s a shame as said character is actually a twist villain and so the surprise is lessened.
Otherwise narration is good albeit perhaps a bit slow.
Good story, probably best for a YA audience
