À propos de cet audio
"Ashes of the Sun is fantasy at its finest" (Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld)
Long ago, a magical war destroyed an empire, and a new one was built in its ashes. But still the old grudges simmer, and two siblings will fight on opposite sides to save their world in the start of Django Wexler's new epic fantasy trilogy.
Gyre hasn't seen his beloved sister since their parents sold her to the mysterious Twilight Order. Now, 12 years after her disappearance, Gyre's sole focus is revenge, and he's willing to risk anything and anyone to claim enough power to destroy the Order.
Chasing rumors of a fabled city protecting a powerful artifact, Gyre comes face-to-face with his lost sister. But she isn't who she once was. Trained to be a warrior, Maya wields magic for the Twilight Order's cause. Standing on opposite sides of a looming civil war, the two siblings will learn that not even the ties of blood will keep them from splitting the world in two.

Cast into a brutal military camp by his once loving master, Mateo feels like the last six wonderful years of his life have been a lie. With the mysteries surrounding him growing, Mateo knows that his only option is to become one of the supernaturally powerful Duelists and grow in power until he can take his fate into his own hands. That plan is thwarted from the beginning when he gets stuck with the lowest-ranked Root Card against his will, ensuring that his growth as a Duelist will always be excruciatingly slow.

The Angor arrived twenty years ago, resolved to help mankind survive, but not everyone believes their motives are honorable.

The city of the gods. Elantris once stood as the symbol of all that is beautiful. A sprawling metropolis of unrivaled grandeur, it was a symbol of power and strength, built to be as imposing as it was magnificent. The only thing more glorious than the city itself was its inhabitants, Godlike beings, with silvery skin and hair of the purest, flowing white. Able to create powerful magics with a mere wave of their hands, the Elantrians were able to heal mortal wounds and create any object they desired. To be an Elantrian was to be without sickness, without pain and without want.

A Secret Service operative and dedicated survivalist, Special Agent Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario and regularly trained for them all. He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway.

Adair Finch is the most powerful warlock in the world, and one of the best private investigators for hire. He has dealt with corporate vampires, murderous werewolves, and even fae royalty. Everything was perfect until he lost one case—the case where he also lost his brother. So Finch retired. From magic. From PI work. From everything. Bree Blackstone, a twelve-year-old witch, doesn’t know or care about any of that except Finch’s reputation. In the middle of the night, she bangs on Finch’s door. Her mother has been murdered, and now the assassin is after Bree as well.

So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction...especially on Addington Isle.

After a few billion years of bearing witness to life on Earth, of watching one hundred billion humans go about their day-to-day lives, of feeling unbelievably lonely, and of hearing its own story told by others, The Milky Way would like a chance to speak for itself. All one hundred billion stars and fifty undecillion tons of gas of it. It all began some thirteen billion years ago, when clouds of gas scattered through the universe's primordial plasma just could not keep their metaphorical hands off each other.

TRULY PHENOMENAL!
READ THIS NOW!
As a reader, I am a master of fantasy. It's what I read and love more than any other genre and for my YouTube channel I tend to read about 120 books a year. I'm already more than halfway past that goal as of this book's July publication. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is among the best books I've read in the last 2-3yrs. Ashes of the Sun seriously impressed me and I'm shattered I have to wait so long for a sequel.
This book follows two siblings who are ideologically opposed after having been torn apart in childhood. Maya belongs to the Twilight Order, the guardians of humanity, sworn to the Chosen who disappeared after wielding destructive power in the war to exterminate the Ghouls 400yrs ago. The Order are the highest authority in the land and they make sure to keep it that way by maintaining their stranglehold on humanity by way of an endless quest to seek out and destroy the technology and magic of the ghouls.
On the other side we have Gyre, Maya's older brother whose eye and whose family was destroyed by the Order Centarch who abducted Maya as a child. Gyre has been searching his whole life for something powerful enough to cast off the yoke the the Order keeps of humanity, and to get his personal revenge doing it.
This world is really interesting as it and its economy rely on a lot of Ghoul-derived technology called arcana that people scavenge, ignorant or contemptuous of the Order interdictions against it. The world is also run rampant with a Plague, magical in nature, as well as the humans called Darkeen who wield the Ghoul fleshmagic that seems to have created it in the first place. The Darkeen are humans who are hunted down relentlessly for using Ghoul magic to craft Plague-beasts, nightmarish creatures who ingest other animals (love humans preferably) to repurpose and twist the corpses in order to grow.
And if that weren't bad enough, it seems like the two sides of that ancient war might not be as dead and buried as everyone thought, for forces are stirring that may plunge the world back into conflict, to unleash a level of horror that saw unfathomable atrocities committed unless someone can stop them in the pulse pounding tale that with see new legends rise–the legends of Silvereye and Burningblade.

Over-The-Top Narration Worsens The Situation
I am not entirely sure why I repeatedly found 'Scooby-doo' creeping into my mind while listening to this Django Wexler offering:
Maybe it was the teams of quirky young misfits sent on missions of discovery throughout the realm (the 'Mystery Machine' would not have been out of place).
Perhaps the sophomoric 2-dimensional quest-based plotting did it.
I'm sure the drawn-out lesbian attraction plotline played a role (a straight-up Velma/Daphne dynamic if ever I've seen one).
Regardless, as a fan of the Fantasy genre, I was disappointed with the Junior-High-School sensibilities of this presentation. To be certain, Wexler's worldbuilding is imaginative (including competing sociopolitical factions, terrifying monsters (called "Plaguespawn") & martial magical constructs, and the heavily-regulated magical remnants of a 400-years-gone arcane past that only remains in archeological sites and a thriving black market); the magic system is interesting (involving rare individuals born with the ability to tap into elemental powers); action scenes are well-choreographed & viscerally gory; and a clever "one-sibling-on-each-side-of-a-civil-war" plot device is used to full effect.. but the negation of all of that with the overlying YA immaturity of this book was both dissatisfying and annoying.
Reader Imogen Church further draws attention to the deficiencies in the book with cartoonish character interpretations, too. Already questionable dialogue is underlined by some of the most jawdropping overacting that I have heard in a long time (there were points in this audiobook where I was praying that Wexler wouldn't put any more children in the tale, for example: Church's shrill reading of little guys made me - a physician - consider rooting for infanticide).
I rate 'Ashes Of The Sun' a mere 4 stars out of 10. As a 'Plus' option, it wasn't a crazy way to spend a few quiet afternoons, I guess.. but spend your Credit elsewhere should they ask for one.

Just not good
Story is uninteresting and unoriginal and characters are boring.
Narration was hard to listen too with so many of the voices being super annoying. She made most of the main women’s voice come across and whiny children.
So many better books out there.
