À propos de cet audio
In this sweeping epic fantasy comes a story of magic, betrayal, love, and loyalty, where two sisters will clash on opposite sides of a war against the gods.
A divine war shattered the world leaving humanity in ruins. Desperate for hope, they struck a deal with the devious god Kluehnn: He would restore the world to its former glory, but at a price so steep it would keep the mortals indebted to him for eternity. And, as each land was transformed, so too were its people changed into strange new forms - if they survived at all.
Hakara is not willing to pay such a price. Desperate to protect herself, and her sister Rasha, she flees her homeland for the safety of a neighboring kingdom. But when tragedy separates them, Hakara is forced to abandon her beloved sister to an unknown fate.
Alone and desperate for answers on the wrong side of the world, Hakara discovers she can channel the magic from the mysterious gems they are forced to mine for Kluehnn. With that discovery comes another: her sister is alive, and only the rebels plotting to destroy the God Pact can help rescue her.
But only if Hakara goes to war against a god.

When Ludo Vica was only eight years old, he lost his twin brother and his eye when a horrific fire turned his village to ash. The last thing he remembers is a dark figure, wreathed in flames, stalking toward his childhood home. His brother, Gado, was still inside. Then came the explosion, the burning pain where his eye should've been, followed by blessed oblivion. The man deemed responsible for it all was Cainan, a dark sorcerer known as the Fire Eater, who was brought to justice and imprisoned in the legendary fortress known as Comman Dur.

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.

When a mysterious figure moves against the Crown, Keera is called upon to hunt down the so-called Shadow. She tracks her target into the magical lands of the Fae, but Faeland is not what it seems—and neither is the Shadow. Keera is shocked by what she learns and can’t help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace.

Aram thinks he’s nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village in a dark corner of the world. As far as Aram knows, he has nothing, with hardly a possession to his name other than a desire to make friends and be accepted by those around him, which is something he’s never known. But Aram is more. Much, much more. Unknown to him, Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and there are others who would twist him to use for their own sinister purposes.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Dive into a lush world rife with violence and despair. Cheer for its broken occupants who are grabbing onto life and love with horns and claws. Stewart is a master and this fantasy delivers the ultimate rush–hope."
—Julia Vee, author of Ebony GateTHE GODS BELOW is primarily focused on two sisters who are separated after attempting to flee the magic of ruthless gods, only to find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict. Much of the plot itself revolves around the sisters—Hakara and Rasha—as they are trained by different factions in a growing war between gods and those who wish to oppose the gods.
As far as characters, I found I enjoyed Hakara the most. While none of the other characters are bad, for whatever reason, I just couldn't connect with them the way I wanted to, especially with the other plot lines that didn't hold my interest as much as I'd hoped. Especially with Mull and Sheuan, whose plots didn't seem to go anywhere until the end.
And I think that's my biggest sticking point: There didn't seem to be any forward momentum to the plots. The book felt more like set-up than anything else, so certain endings felt anticlimactic, even if they were filled with action.
Despite my grumbles, I really did enjoy the world. Seeing how different aspects work, how magic is used and how it alters other beings, the danger and creativity of the gods, etc. For me, THE GODS BELOW was at its strongest when Stewart was immersed in her world-building and creating a fresh realm in fantasy. Stewart's prose is strong and there were some good dialogues, but I just couldn't seem to get behind the rest.
I think this is a book that other lovers of fantasy will enjoy and can get invested in, but I don't think I'm the right reader for it.
