À propos de cet audio
From the New York Times best-selling author of Star Wars: Resistance Reborn comes the “engrossing and vibrant” (Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby) first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic.
A god will return
When the earth and sky converge
Under the black sun
In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial even proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world.
Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain.
Crafted with unforgettable characters, Rebecca Roanhorse has created a “brilliant world that shows the full panoply of human grace and depravity” (Ken Liu, award-winning author of The Grace of Kings). This epic adventure explores the decadence of power amidst the weight of history and the struggle of individuals swimming against the confines of society and their broken pasts in this “absolutely tremendous” (S.A. Chakraborty, nationally best-selling author of The City of Brass) and most original series debut of the decade.

Histoire
The small island of Malaz and its city gave the great empire its name, but now it is little more than a sleepy, backwater port. Tonight, however, things are different. Tonight the city is on edge, a hive of hurried, sometimes violent activity; its citizens bustle about, barring doors, shuttering windows, avoiding any stranger's stare. Because tonight there is to be a convergence, the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon - an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker things....

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.

Good, Fresh, Unique Fantasy Setting/Story
While I wasn't blown away by the story, its unique style/setting (and the excellent narration) was definitely enough to keep me interested throughout this audiobook.
The setting is conceptually, culturally, and linguistically inspired by Indigenous Central/South American peoples, histories, and mythologies, which is a nice change from the Medieval European archetypes that tend to dominate the fantasy genre. This gave the story a freshness that made up for a general lack of depth in certain areas/characters.
There were a couple of characters belonging to a third gender that used its own unique pronouns (shay/sheer, as opposed to she/her or he/him), and while I'm not opposed to this philosophically or ideologically, I did find it somewhat confusing, or even annoying, especially at first. There seemed to be no reason for it, and no real discussion/commentary of the nature of sex/gender (even though there was also another minor character who was transgender), so I'm not sure what the author was going for here.
Regardless, an enjoyable listen overall, and I'll be listening to the rest of the trilogy for sure.

A Dark, Mysterious Fantasy Thriller
Black Sun opens strong. A mother maims her child for religious reasons and then sacrifices herself. We're left wondering whether she was criminally insane, a religious zealot, or the mother of a true prophet. Perhaps all three. And so we begin.
There are a few main characters here, including the standard Han Solo sort of character, a girl named Xiala, captain of a ship, living for pleasure and quips. Normally, these characters bug me, but for some reason, this one didn't. I liked her, and I loved how her secrets were slowly revealed.
Xiala is tasked with transporting a blind priest to a faraway land, but she suspects that there is something sinister about him. Ominous.
The other main characters are Naranpa, a priest, and Okoa, a guard. Both are immensely likeable, but they are in opposing factions, and these factions are headed towards war. This adds even more tension to the mix.
The prose is engaging and vivid, the worldbuilding is fantastic and fresh, there are mysteries buried everywhere, and a looming tension weighs on everything. And the plot moves fast, too. This is a true thriller.
One of my favourite things about this story is the horror of a moral system unlike our own. Characters who seem nice in every way can commit vile deeds from a place of selflessness. And because this moral system is foreign and unpredictable, it gives us the sense that almost anything can happen.
My only complaint is that the book ends on a cliffhanger. It seemed like a different, more satisfying ending was coming. But we're robbed of that. Perhaps in the sequel. Ah well.

Dang! So so good
I'm not usually a fan of books that switch between multiple characters (I'm impatient) but this author is so skilled and does it really well. A very unique story, I couldn't help procrastinating everything else in my lofe to finish it.

Can't Wait for the Sequel
From the synopsis, I knew it was going to be epic, but nothing could have prepared me for the sheer brilliance of BLACK SUN. I feel like any words I use will minimize what I feel about this book. It's like standing before the Grand Canyon and trying to take a selfie with it. It's impossible. No photo will do it justice just as my review will never be good enough.
With an eye-widening first chapter, Roahhorse pulls you into indigenous myths inspired by pre-Columbian Americas. The setting is visually stunning in its world-building, and the magic systems and political intrigue accompany you into a world of Sun Priests, giant crows, and mermaids.
This is a multiple POV book. We have a blind young man, a magical captain, a Sun Priest, and a beast rider. All on their own paths that converge with a thunderous roar at the book's conclusion. I loved the different POV's personally, but I know some people have a hard time with them especially with high fantasy such as this one. I connected with each character on a personal level. The author excels in placing humanity in her characters so well that you learn to empathize and cheer for them. The pacing of this book is fast, packed full of action and heart. Everything was superb.
This is definitely one you want to listen to because the audio narrators totally make you BELEIVE the story in a way just reading it doesn't. I thought that it was so well emulated, so well articulated, and the emotions and story got that much deeper in my soul because of that.
There is a HUGE cliffhanger at the end of this one, so be prepared for that! At least the sequel will be releasing fairly soon so you can pre-order it (like I did) so that you can read it right away!
The author set out to write epic fantasy and she hit the mark a million times over. I would compare BLACK SUN to books such as THE FIFTH SEASON, THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER, and KUSHIEL'S DART to name a few. With a YA comparison to THE SEVENTH SUN and SOULSWIFT.

Disappointing
This book is good, but compared to Trail of Lightning and especially Storm of Locusts, I found myself disappointed.
Maybe it was the points of view. There are four in the book, one introduced so late that I never connected with him as a character but only saw him as showing parts of the story the others couldn't. The crow god was the most fleshed, past and present melding seamlessly to form a complex picture of who he is and the sort of people who would try to manipulate him. I hope those machinations show in the sequel, because they fell flat here.
The sun priest was the least fleshed. Here was what purported to be machinations and political intrigue but was really just finger pointing that conveniently thwarted a plan with no real intention to do so. I was intensely disappointed in this "political maneuvering".
I was also disappointed by the disability rep. It wasn't good rep at all, but rather a regurgitation of stereotypes of the blind "overcoming" their disability. He was still blind in the end, but the work arounds so he could see and move through the world without difficulty annoyed me. Even the (mermaid) captain, whose body parts are prized for magic, had only one joint of her littlest finger removed. It wouldn't do to have the love interest be disfigured in any real way. (Shocked gasp!) Come to think of it, maybe I'm more angry than disappointed.
