À propos de cet audio
Read by fan-favorite narrator Natalie Naudus
Mulan meets The Song of Achilles in Shelley Parker-Chan's She Who Became the Sun, a bold, queer, and lyrical reimagining of the rise of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty from an amazing new voice in literary fantasy.
To possess the Mandate of Heaven, the female monk Zhu will do anything
“I refuse to be nothing…”
In a famine-stricken village on a dusty yellow plain, two children are given two fates. A boy, greatness. A girl, nothingness…
In 1345, China lies under harsh Mongol rule. For the starving peasants of the Central Plains, greatness is something found only in stories. When the Zhu family’s eighth-born son, Zhu Chongba, is given a fate of greatness, everyone is mystified as to how it will come to pass. The fate of nothingness received by the family’s clever and capable second daughter, on the other hand, is only as expected.
When a bandit attack orphans the two children, though, it is Zhu Chongba who succumbs to despair and dies. Desperate to escape her own fated death, the girl uses her brother's identity to enter a monastery as a young male novice. There, propelled by her burning desire to survive, Zhu learns she is capable of doing whatever it takes, no matter how callous, to stay hidden from her fate.
After her sanctuary is destroyed for supporting the rebellion against Mongol rule, Zhu takes the chance to claim another future altogether: her brother's abandoned greatness.

When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death.

But in order to keep the truth of her past safely hidden, she works as a servant in the loathed regent’s household, biting her tongue and cleaning Malini’s chambers.

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber.

Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.

Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar’s throne. Kind. Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn’t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she...cares for me. Even though a power like mine was responsible for her curse. But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating

In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn't remember who he is, where he's from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power. In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it's as if the paint is literally calling to her. In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels.

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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
Lambda Literary Award - Nominee, 2022
“The characters are bold and complex in this story of fealty, family, and self. Epic worldbuilding, high action, and ruthless shades of love and desire make the tale at turns tragic and inspiring... Parker-Chan’s debut is forceful, immersive, and unforgettable. This inspired queer retelling of Chinese history is an exciting read.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“Parker-Chan’s gorgeous writing accompanies a vibrantly rendered world full of imperfect, fascinating characters. With every turn of the page, the book offers a new set piece, a new revelation, a new horror.... If you’re a fan of epic fantasy, you can’t miss this one.” (BookPage, starred review)
"Natalie Naudus delivers this epic of fate, ambition, and identity set in thirteenth-century Mongol-ruled China." (AudioFile review)

Original and Engaging
This is wonderful story, beautifully read, that builds in momentum from start to finish!
Side note - I found it confusing sorting out who the characters were and their relationship to each other, especially nearer the beginning. I should perhaps have chosen the book (rather than audio) so that I could easily flip back for reference!

Too drawn out
I will preface this by saying overall this is a great listen, Ms. Naudus does a stellar job narrating and performing. Pronouncing all the names must've been a job in of itself.
I felt the story dragged on a bit, I was fairly bored by the last quarter. The way the story was progressing you can piece together what is going to happen fairly early into the second act so this was my criticism with it.

It was great, just one quirk worth noting
Narrator did a great job and the story was very engaging, loved the ending. Probably should’ve chosen the physical book though because i had a hard time following which characters were which as someone with no direct experience with traditional Chinese names. But honestly I’d gladly read it again just to get the full picture so 5/5 all around

Loved this book. The characters are wonderful. They have light and shadow. they're complex and they move the story tremendously. It's interesting and thoughtful and compassionate without ever giving in to an easy escape, and the final act was spellbinding.

Enjoyable and thought provoking
I was not expecting to learn so much about Chinese history! It was such a delightful surprise to keep googling elements of this fantastic novel and finding them to be true.
Parker-Chan takes one of the most ambitious men in Chinese history and imagines what it would mean if he were not a man at all.
The book sustains an engaging level of action and political intrigue while bringing nuance to conversations surrounding gender and fate.
The narrator seemed to have a good grasp of difficult pronunciations, but sometimes went overboard making voices too masculine or too feminine in a way that was mildly distracting.
Overall, the book is absolutely worth your time.

The description is not wrong: lyrical... which is a great way to handle a vast fantasy
Driven characters push forward without the book becoming too heavy handed. An exploration of identity and desire

Best book I read in 2022
The narration was very good, and the story was better. This is the only Chinese history inspired fantasy worth reading. (Yes, even over Iron Widow and R F Kuang's books, not to mention all the rest of this little niche of the fantasy genre.)

Beautiful all around!
Parker-Chan's prose is so beautiful, I want to buy a hard copy so that I can highlight passages. The lyrical writing is augmented by a great narrator, and overall I can not recommend this highly enough.
