À propos de cet audio
The fourth novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues down a path that can only end in fire.
Hadrian Marlowe is trapped.
For nearly a century, he has been a guest of the Emperor, forced into the role of advisor, a prisoner of his own legend. But the war is changing. Mankind is losing.
The Cielcin are spilling into human space from the fringes, picking their targets with cunning precision. The Great Prince Syriani Dorayaica is uniting their clans, forging them into an army and threat the likes of which mankind has never seen.
And the Empire stands alone.
Now the Emperor has no choice but to give Hadrian Marlowe—once his favorite knight—one more impossible task: journey across the galaxy to the Lothrian Commonwealth and convince them to join the war. But not all is as it seems, and Hadrian’s journey will take him far beyond the Empire, beyond the Commonwealth, impossibly deep behind enemy lines.

The galaxy remembers Hadrian Marlowe as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives - even the emperor himself - against Imperial orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world.

The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor.

Histoire312
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Worldbuilding: 9.5/10
Both new cultures that are fleshed out in this novel are fascinating and supremely well built.
Characters: 8.5/10
Hadrian is the star and this book puts him through the ringer.
Plot: 9/10
Interestingly, the plot trope used here usually isn't my favourite but because of the world building built into it I found it worked and I was eagerly pressing forward to see how it ended.
Overall Investment/Emotional Impact: 8.5/10
The highest emotional stakes of the series!
Writing/Prose: 8.5/10
Ruocchio is so, so good.
Audio Performance: 10/10
Samuel Roukin is a rock star, nails the tone and holds so many distinct voices so well throughout the story. The perfect choice for these audiobooks.
Rating: 4.5 stars
Content Warning: Sci-fi action, gore, and torture.

Narrator: the clown-like nasal voice he chose to use for the main villain ruins any tension. “In a voice high and cold as a distant mountain top”…. But he chose instead to make it sound like a rubber chicken because ….? Narrator also flips the pronunciation of major names from previous books
Story: the first third feels okay for an intro, the end 10% is okay…. The middle feels nothing like a Suneater book. No references to Hadrian of the future writing this story, no references to future events or what he would change if he did it now or directly speaking to the reader, etc, all just droning on and onnnnnn and onnnnnnnnnn about being in captivity. Compared to the captivity with Kharn Sagara in previous book, this just feels like a brutal case of writer’s block being forced into page count increases. Hundreds of pages should have been condensed into a handful of really compelling chapters instead and this may have still been a good book. As it stands, it’s really just not worth the time.
Huge departure from the previous style
