À propos de cet audio

In the vast dominion of Seven Cities, in the Holy Desert Raraku, the seer Sha’ik and her followers prepare for the long-prophesied uprising known as the Whirlwind. Unprecedented in size and savagery, this maelstrom of fanaticism and bloodlust will embroil the Malazan Empire in one of the bloodiest conflicts it has ever known, shaping destinies and giving birth to legends.....

Set in a brilliantly realized world ravaged by dark, uncontrollable magic, this thrilling novel of war, intrigue, and betrayal confirms Steven Erikson as a storyteller of breathtaking skill, imagination, and originality - a new master of epic fantasy.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Give me the evocation of a rich, complex, and yet ultimately unknowable other world, with a compelling suggestion of intricate history and mythology and lore. Give me mystery amid the grand narrative. Give me a world in which every sea hides a crumbled Atlantis, every ruin has a tale to tell, every mattock blade is a silent legacy of struggles unknown. Give me, in other words, the fantasy work of Steven Erikson." (Andrew Leonard, Salon)

Steven Erikson delivers yet another good story. He has great character development and takes you from disliking a certain character to liking them, then you find yourself disappointed in some of their actions/decisions. I find myself invested in the world/civilizations he has created. I have already started the next book & have purchase the complete series.

Second book listened to & still an awesome book

Erickson continues his story of the Mslazan Empire in the world he and Esselmont created. That world gets richer and richer as he goes. This novel has far more foreshadowing and fits more in the series but still can stand alone as a story. It can get a little confusing - with different timelines and plot threads that make little sense without awareness of events later in the series - but is enjoyable.

Ralph Lister's reading is fantastic, down to nasal voices after a broken nose and muffled voices after a facial injury.

Because of a bit of confusion inherent in introducing disparate story threads, this is a Four star novel. Keep going - it makes more sense after you read other books in the series.

Great Military Fantasy

I wish that the reader/editor had put a small pause when switching between story lines. it sometimes made it hard to know when he was switching and caused some confusion when trying to listen. otherwise though that was nothing in comparison to the amazing story and how fabulous the reader performed in projecting this story into my mind. ever fantastic and so eloquently portrayed are the characters. it is truly a marvel.

Fabulous as expected!!

ive read the series twice, listening a decade later.
still great, rich stories, characters and cultures. the author's background really shines in this boom.
the sadest in the series in my opinion

as good listening as it was reading

Excellent book and narration, have fun trying to spot the Captain of the Sappers. He is like Waldo x 1000. Mappo was my favorite new character although getting to know Fiddler was just as excellent.

Where is the Captain of the Sappers?

The story is incredible, but the reading is barely worth listening to. Lister does a great job of doing voices and accents, but all too often he will read people talking in one tone, and then get to "they said...." which reveals he read it totally wrong. It's like hes reading it for the first time and ballparking characters emotions before they're said. Also, some very weird pronunciations. Still worth a listen, but the narrator for the latter half of the series is much better.

A great story not done justice

Well read. Plot at a high level is great, but Erikson isn't a great writer, imho. His pacing seems way off, and individual conflicts are rendered irrelevant by the frequency of seemingly insurmountable problems faced by the characters and the equal content solutions, often arriving "by Warren" and at the last minute.

Good, but not perfect

Second book I’ve read by this author. It seems he’s not much for initial character development, but eventually you get them sorted. Great book though. Very imaginative world. After getting through 2 so far I’m very glad he’s written so many ! I look forward to enjoying the rest of them. I also enjoyed the varied and interesting races in the world he’s created.

Great book, interesting and original fantasy world
