À propos de cet audio
Face your demons...or feed them.
Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war - and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army.
Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried - and some wounds aren’t meant to heal.
Enter the Grishaverse with this new novel from number-one New York Times best-selling author Leigh Bardugo.
"Deadly clever political intrigue, heart-stopping adventure, memorable characters, and several understated, hinted-at romances (how will we wait?!) come together in one glorious, Slavic-folklore infused package. Bardugo's star continues to rise." (Booklist, starred review)

Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister.

Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises.

The kingdom of Kandala is on the brink of disaster. Rifts between sectors have only worsened since a sickness began ravaging the land, and within the Royal Palace, the king holds a tenuous peace with a ruthless hand. King Harristan was thrust into power after his parents’ shocking assassination, leaving the younger Prince Corrick to take on the brutal role of the King’s Justice. The brothers have learned to react mercilessly to any sign of rebellion - it’s the only way to maintain order when the sickness can strike anywhere.

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.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

The vampire prince has never claimed a human. Until now. My whole life I’ve been nothing but a means to an end; livestock kept caged for the production of blood. I’ve stared through fences at the promise of freedom countless times, but the only way anyone escapes this hell is in the hands of a bloodsucker.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Whether listeners are coming to this universe of demons and saints for the first time or the sixth, [narraotr Lauren] Fortgang is the perfect guide through a fictional countryside full of hard-to-pronounce places in the snowy north of some alternate version of Eastern Europe. The accents range from Russian to Czech to American. Fortgang's linguistic gifts trick listeners into thinking this book has multiple narrators. As the characters unearth their inner darkness and inner light, Fortgang's narration drips with both sorrow and love. The breathtaking ending begs those who are new to the universe to start at the beginning and those who have returned to start again." (AudioFile Magazine)

See? If you haven't read those books do you have any idea what I'm talking about?
This book is well-written, populated with military planning and international diplomacy, brimming with intrigue, full of adventure, and largely avoids the romantic themes that (in my opinion) weaken Leigh Bardugo's mythology. It's an enjoyable return to the 'Grishaverse'. Unfortunately, though the dénouemant hints at promising things in 'Rule Of Wolves', this book has very little merit as a standalone - but Bardugo fans will enjoy it (despite the moderate distancing from her YA Fantasy writing paradigms). New readers will more likely be confused.
[NB. That's not to say that the author doesn't stick to patterns - there is a hinted promise at frustrated young romance, for example (and the fascination with misunderstood orphan girls in this genre is somewhat baffling).. Bardugo dutifully pays tribute to those 'traditions'. YA Fantasy adherents will be rewarded.]
Lauren Fortang is extremely effective in this recording. Her accents are more subdued, but easily recognizable. Her sibilance (overly strong "s"s) is much improved, too. The kudos from critics are well-deserved (Although I still had to increase the speed to 1.10X to get the reading rate right - she plods somewhat).
This novel is worthy of 8/10 stars (but 9 stars for readers familiar with Bardugo's world). Regardless, you should definitely read more of the kingdom before purchasing this one. Enjoy!
