And uniting them won't be so simple. His sister, Maya, is still a soldier of the Order. But after clashing with her brother, she isn't so certain where her loyalties lie. Chasing the origins of a mysterious artifact to a long-lost library, she just might find the answers she's looking for.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 10
The city of Guerdon stands eternal. A refuge from the war that rages beyond its borders. But in the ancient tunnels deep beneath its streets, a malevolent power has begun to stir. The fate of the city rests in the hands of three thieves. They alone stand against the coming darkness. As conspiracies unfold and secrets are revealed, their friendship will be tested to the limit. If they fail, all will be lost, and the streets of Guerdon will run with blood.

Ferius Parfax has a simple plan: Kill every last inhabitant of the spell-gifted nation that destroyed her people, starting with the man who murdered her parents. Killing mages is a difficult and dangerous business, of course, but when she meets the inimitable and extraordinary Durrall Brown, she discovers that physical strength is not the only way to defeat evil of all kinds. So Ferius undertakes to study the ways of the Argosi: the loosely-knit tribe of tricksters known for getting the better of even the most powerful of spellcasters.

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction...especially on Addington Isle.

Twenty-eight florins a month is a huge price to pay for a man to stand between you and the Wild. Twenty-eight florins a month is nowhere near enough when a wyvern's jaws snap shut on your helmet in the hot stink of battle, and the beast starts to rip the head from your shoulders. But if standing and fighting is hard, leading a company of men - or worse, a company of mercenaries - against the smart, deadly creatures of the Wild is even harder. It takes all the advantages of birth, training, and the luck of the devil to do it.

So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.

Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Description
"Ashes of the Sun is fantasy at its finest" (Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld)
Long ago, a magical war destroyed an empire, and a new one was built in its ashes. But still the old grudges simmer, and two siblings will fight on opposite sides to save their world in the start of Django Wexler's new epic fantasy trilogy.
Gyre hasn't seen his beloved sister since their parents sold her to the mysterious Twilight Order. Now, 12 years after her disappearance, Gyre's sole focus is revenge, and he's willing to risk anything and anyone to claim enough power to destroy the Order.
Chasing rumors of a fabled city protecting a powerful artifact, Gyre comes face-to-face with his lost sister. But she isn't who she once was. Trained to be a warrior, Maya wields magic for the Twilight Order's cause. Standing on opposite sides of a looming civil war, the two siblings will learn that not even the ties of blood will keep them from splitting the world in two.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Django Wexler writes with a range and breadth seldom seen in fantasy. He pushes the envelope of what the genre can do, and readers are lucky for it." (Myke Cole, author of The Sixteenth Watch)
"Gorgeous writing, powerfully-drawn characters, and an exciting storyline!" (K.D. Edwards, author of The Last Sun and The Hanged Man)
"This is a book whose characters and world will stay with you well after the last page. Do yourself a favor and read it. Now." (Douglas Hulick, author of Among Thieves and Sworn in Steel)

TRULY PHENOMENAL!
READ THIS NOW!
As a reader, I am a master of fantasy. It's what I read and love more than any other genre and for my YouTube channel I tend to read about 120 books a year. I'm already more than halfway past that goal as of this book's July publication. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is among the best books I've read in the last 2-3yrs. Ashes of the Sun seriously impressed me and I'm shattered I have to wait so long for a sequel.
This book follows two siblings who are ideologically opposed after having been torn apart in childhood. Maya belongs to the Twilight Order, the guardians of humanity, sworn to the Chosen who disappeared after wielding destructive power in the war to exterminate the Ghouls 400yrs ago. The Order are the highest authority in the land and they make sure to keep it that way by maintaining their stranglehold on humanity by way of an endless quest to seek out and destroy the technology and magic of the ghouls.
On the other side we have Gyre, Maya's older brother whose eye and whose family was destroyed by the Order Centarch who abducted Maya as a child. Gyre has been searching his whole life for something powerful enough to cast off the yoke the the Order keeps of humanity, and to get his personal revenge doing it.
This world is really interesting as it and its economy rely on a lot of Ghoul-derived technology called arcana that people scavenge, ignorant or contemptuous of the Order interdictions against it. The world is also run rampant with a Plague, magical in nature, as well as the humans called Darkeen who wield the Ghoul fleshmagic that seems to have created it in the first place. The Darkeen are humans who are hunted down relentlessly for using Ghoul magic to craft Plague-beasts, nightmarish creatures who ingest other animals (love humans preferably) to repurpose and twist the corpses in order to grow.
And if that weren't bad enough, it seems like the two sides of that ancient war might not be as dead and buried as everyone thought, for forces are stirring that may plunge the world back into conflict, to unleash a level of horror that saw unfathomable atrocities committed unless someone can stop them in the pulse pounding tale that with see new legends rise–the legends of Silvereye and Burningblade.

Wow.
Fan-friggen-tastic. The story itself is one of my favorites of the year...and holy cow the narrator on this one did a phenomenal job and took a five star book and cranked it up to 3000. Yup. I loved this audiobook 3000.

Over-The-Top Narration Worsens The Situation
I am not entirely sure why I repeatedly found 'Scooby-doo' creeping into my mind while listening to this Django Wexler offering:
Maybe it was the teams of quirky young misfits sent on missions of discovery throughout the realm (the 'Mystery Machine' would not have been out of place).
Perhaps the sophomoric 2-dimensional quest-based plotting did it.
I'm sure the drawn-out lesbian attraction plotline played a role (a straight-up Velma/Daphne dynamic if ever I've seen one).
Regardless, as a fan of the Fantasy genre, I was disappointed with the Junior-High-School sensibilities of this presentation. To be certain, Wexler's worldbuilding is imaginative (including competing sociopolitical factions, terrifying monsters (called "Plaguespawn") & martial magical constructs, and the heavily-regulated magical remnants of a 400-years-gone arcane past that only remains in archeological sites and a thriving black market); the magic system is interesting (involving rare individuals born with the ability to tap into elemental powers); action scenes are well-choreographed & viscerally gory; and a clever "one-sibling-on-each-side-of-a-civil-war" plot device is used to full effect.. but the negation of all of that with the overlying YA immaturity of this book was both dissatisfying and annoying.
Reader Imogen Church further draws attention to the deficiencies in the book with cartoonish character interpretations, too. Already questionable dialogue is underlined by some of the most jawdropping overacting that I have heard in a long time (there were points in this audiobook where I was praying that Wexler wouldn't put any more children in the tale, for example: Church's shrill reading of little guys made me - a physician - consider rooting for infanticide).
I rate 'Ashes Of The Sun' a mere 4 stars out of 10. As a 'Plus' option, it wasn't a crazy way to spend a few quiet afternoons, I guess.. but spend your Credit elsewhere should they ask for one.

Just not good
Story is uninteresting and unoriginal and characters are boring.
Narration was hard to listen too with so many of the voices being super annoying. She made most of the main women’s voice come across and whiny children.
So many better books out there.
