Story
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Story
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn't like his job, and the immortal who's still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Dragons Riders: The last noble warriors in the realm. Only heroes can embolden the ordinary. For centuries, millennia, the Dragon Riders galvanized generation after generation, adding Riders to their ranks and birthing dragons from their eggs. But there are no more heroes. War with the Andarens is like nothing the Riders, nor the armies of Erador, have ever faced. In the place of heroes, there are only soldiers now. Fodder for the machine of war. This time of twilight is set to be the crowning hour of the dark when the light is losing its grip.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Story
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.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Not For Me
- By Jamie @ Books and Ladders on 2022-01-09
Written by: Elizabeth Lim
Publisher's Summary
"Narrator Suzy Jackson's assured, brassy tones and forceful delivery are an exceptional match for Sanderson's high-stakes, battle-driven space opera.... Jackson's gift for characterizations shines - she brings out the humor and heroism in Spensa's young classmates and friends (and the neurotic spaceship MBOT), along with the pain and perseverance of the generations that came before them. This is a high-octane futuristic narrative of hope, sacrifice, and courage, and a fast pace speaks to the rising urgency as war rages above the planet. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award." (AudioFile magazine)
From Brandon Sanderson, the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally best-selling Mistborn series, comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future.
Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's - a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa's chances of attending flight school at slim to none.
No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars.

Definitely getting the next one.
Initially, I wanted to strangle the heroine. Sanderson wrote her on the edge of insufferable. But the longer I read, the more I remembered being 16 and the overly dramatic way of thinking I had as well. The saving grace here is that the character is not stupidly insufferable - she thinks, and learns, and tries to grow. Her opponents/villains are similar; initially one dimensional but becoming more human as the novel goes on. Really pleased with this one.

Absolutely Incredible
As always, Sanderson’s world building is beyond imagining—don’t know how this guy does it.
I finished this book in an almost non-stop session. Completely engrossed. Highly recommend for its fast paced intrigue, it’s action, it’s character building and beautiful detail.

Great book. Exceptionally well narrated. Like several other reviewers it was hard to turn off. I got to the last two hours and put my ear buds in and spent the rest of the night to finish it. Rarely a dull moment.

Fantastic!
This book was recommended based on my liking of Ready Player One and I can say that I am happy to have listened to the recommendation. The story is fantastic, and gives just enough detail to keep your rapt attention as you move to the climax where all is revealed. The narrator does a good job of keeping the characters separate and giving personality to their descriptions. I’m looking forward to the continuation of the series.

WAIT till summer 2021 to read this series!!!
Brandon Sanderson is not planning to release book 3 until summer 2021.
I would definitely say NOT to read these books until then, or else suffer the wait after the Truly CRUEL cliffhanger as I do >_<
I have over 200 titles on Audible, and this series is definitely in my top 10 that I've read, even though I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi.
join Spencer a 17 year old feisty girl who yearns to become a starship pilot, but is shunned at every turn because of her slandered family name.
Spencer is apart of the only known pocket of humanity left in the galaxy, that has has been stranded on an alien planet named Detritus for Generations, and r being threatened day by day by a force only known as, The Krell.... Who aren't what they seem to be...

Literally listened to the last 12 hours in one go
I couldn’t stop. Once again Brandon Sanderson took me to another place. I’ve always felt that when something has been truly well put together, at the end you feel like your emotions have been ripped from your body and all that’s left is a hollow emptiness that makes you want to cry. This book, as so many of his others have done in the past, made me feel those feelings. If you’re on the fence about trying this one out take it from an avid fantasy and sci-fi reader that you will not regret this one!

A good book worth a buy!
Do you like space ships? Do you like suspense and comedy? Well this is a book for you!
I read it in book form but Suzy Jackson’s performants makes every character feel truly alive!
The story may end on an unsatisfactory note but if you like this book(and you do like this book) all you need to do is get star sight and then wait impatiently for the next one!
