À propos de cet audio
Brian Staveley, author of The Emperor's Blades, gives listeners the first book in a new epic fantasy trilogy based in the world of his popular series the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, The Empire's Ruin.
Best of Summer 2021 - Polygon
The Annurian Empire is disintegrating. The advantages it used for millennia have fallen to ruin. The ranks of the Kettral have been decimated from within, and the kenta gates, granting instantaneous travel across the vast lands of the empire, can no longer be used.
In order to save the empire, one of the surviving Kettral must voyage beyond the edge of the known world through a land that warps and poisons all living things to find the nesting ground of the giant war hawks. Meanwhile, a monk turned con-artist may hold the secret to the kenta gates.
But time is running out. Deep within the southern reaches of the empire and ancient god-like race has begun to stir.
What they discover will change them and the Annurian Empire forever. If they can survive.

Histoire
Born into the troubled kingdom of Albermaine, Alwyn Scribe is raised as an outlaw. Quick of wit and deft with a blade, Alwyn is content with the freedom of the woods and the comradeship of his fellow thieves. But an act of betrayal sets him on a new path - one of blood and vengeance, which eventually leads him to a soldier's life in the king's army. Fighting under the command of Lady Evadine Courlain, a noblewoman beset by visions of a demonic apocalypse, Alwyn must survive war and the deadly intrigues of the nobility if he hopes to claim his vengeance.

Histoire
Wolf of the North: It has been generations since the Northlands have seen a hero worthy of the title. Many have made the claim, but few have lived to defend it. Timid, weak, and bullied, Wulfric is as unlikely a candidate as there could be. Jorundyr's Path: Jorundyr's Path is walked only by the brave. As Wulfric pursues Adalhaid's Blood Debt, he soon learns that the path to revenge is never easy. The Blood Debt: A blade fit for a hero. An army for a tyrant. A reckoning long awaited, and a tale reaching its end.

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.

I never thought in a million years that the bones would choose me. The power, the magic, was supposed to go to someone else in the family. I was counting on it. But now my Grammy Ruby is gone, and here the bones sit on my kitchen table. I thought bitter relatives would be my biggest problem. But I’ve barely had time to find a familiar before trouble comes a-knocking. The kind that possesses smoldering green eyes and a smile that can turn any woman dumb. His name is Rogan Kendrick, and he’s certain that someone is hunting down and taking my kind. According to him, I’m next.

Histoire
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.

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Brian Staveley’s books are epic in every sense of the word. His characters are complex, his history deep, his plots rife with action and intrigue. He’s a giant in the genre, no doubt.” (Nicolas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld)
“If you loved Brian Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, then hang onto your war hawk, 'cause his new book, The Empire’s Ruin, returns to the world of the crumbling Annurian Empire in a spectacular way. Fans of Staveley's work, and those who enjoy epic fantasy outside the conventional mold, are going to unearth treasure.” (R.S. Belcher)

Slow Burn
This title started slow and was difficult to get into initially. A lot is dumped on the reader with few strands of understanding from the previous narrative but eventually becomes something that you simply can’t put down. Excellent story that keeps you guessing most of the way, very entertaining.

great story, BUT WHAT'S NEXT?
Initially was not sure about the new narrators, as I'd grown fond of the previous one, but quickly discovered that each narrator had been chosen to represent / follow particular characters (each chapter features one of 3 separate, yet interwoven storylines). By the end I was eagerly anticipating each chapter. I felt the ending a bit abrupt, but I'm sure there will be another book forthcoming.

Ending leaves a lot to be desired.
Some of the narration was annoying (voice/tone). Will watch for the next book but the multiple story lines just stopped at the end, almost like the book was half finished and just stopped.

Very nice
To me this was the best book in the series (yes, I know it's technically the first book in a new series for some reason but you know what I mean). The author takes his time to develop the characters and the story which is something I really appreciate in a book. I just felt like the previous books were missing something I couldn't quite identify. This one however was perfect and I enjoyed every single word. The kid added just a little bit of something special that I imagine the adult audience (parents) would appreciate more than the younger readers reading/listening to this book. I feel like an extra chapter to wrap up the implied conclusions of the 3 separate story lines would have been a bit better. Anyway, I would definitely buy the next book. I really enjoyed this one and I'm happy I stuck with this series through the more challenging parts.
The performance was almost great. Other than the occasional mispronounced word I thought that both narrators did an amazing job of reflecting the different character personalities in their voices. However, one thing that bothers me a lot is over emphasizing every word that is not a dialogue. Everything between dialogues is described at a very slow, overly tired pace that is not appropriate for every situation. I understand it while they describe a jungle of horrors but it makes no sense when the situation is not tense. I saw someone complaining in another review about not having Simon Vance read it but to me he is one of the narrators that annoys me the most on this particular point.
Overall an excellent book. I'm very picky. I rarely say that. Great job.
