About this listen
Ayleen Torr was destined for greatness among the Knights of the Way, until thirteen traitors destroyed it all and murdered her parents.
Having survived by a trick of the Fates, Ayleen hunts the darkest corners of the cosmos for the secret to killing her immortal enemies. The Thirteen know she's coming for them and place an army in her path to stop her.
Armed with a crystal sword bound to her soul, Ayleen will learn just how far she's willing to compromise herself for revenge and that even in a galaxy where all is lost, there's still plenty left to lose.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Those in power do not believe in the possibility of triumph against the will of the gods, and instead squander their time and effort in indulging their needs and desires as the world quickly rots away around them. Mankind’s only hope rests on the shoulders of a man they hate the most. A man who has taken every possible measure, both accepted and forbidden, to attain power. Sungchul Kim, the man who reached the pinnacle of strength, now stands alone against the Calamities. Not because he is a hero, but because of a promise.

Heroine is *slightly* more willing to kill for coffee than I am, 10/10 very relateable.
Really enjoying this. West of Apocalypse has compelling characters, a cosmic mystery and awful beasts. The narrator really captures the dark and violent tone of the world.

I really enjoyed listening to this the performance and the writing were outstanding. When I found most intriguing was the complexity of the world and the theme that ultimately revealed itself I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Great worldbuilding, phenomenal narration
A book that feels as much Sci Fi as Fantasy as Western, bringing the best of each genre to one package. The worldbuilding especially stood out to me, creating a rich tapestry for the story to unfold within. The magic system in the book is not ever really explained, but you are given enough to understand the rules of this world, and recognize what the magic can and cannot accomplish, helping to create stakes. The foreshadowing in this book was done with a skilled and delicate hand, creating multiple pay offs through the stories as the gears turn and the questions get their answers.
The narrator brings the characters to life with distinctive voices all while reading in tones that make for easy listening. She manages to capture the conviction that define's Ayleen, the charm and wit of some endearing allies, and the ruthless or blasé attitudes of the villains masterfully.
Rating only slightly reduced because I found myself critiquing a few issues with history and villain motivations at a few places through the book. If the primary characters in the book are reliable narrators, then a few characters (protagonists and antagonists both) made some strange decisions in a few key moments. It didn't make the book less enjoyable, just minor quibbles.
