Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Shiang by C. F. Iggulden, read by Daniel Weyman.
IF THESE STONES COULD SPEAK, THEY WOULD CALL FOR WAR.
In Shiang, the young king rules without dissent. Mazer swordsmen stand watch on every corner, looking for the first sign of rebellion. This city is a place of quiet and slow dignity, like a man eating rice with a razor pressed against his throat. Yet with one sharp movement, order is overturned. The balance of centuries is undone in the sudden spill of blood - and in the darkness, something terrible returns to Shiang.
Far to the west, four Shiang masters approach the city walls of Darien. The sword saint and his companions have crossed a continent to bring an old man home for punishment. They will not be denied, even if the whole city stands in their way.
TWO ANCIENT CITIES. ONE FINAL WAR.

good
perhaps it is simply that historical fiction by its nature is more complete or immersive than pure fiction, but though entertaining, the story is not as succinct nor the characters as compelling as igguldens typically brilliant offerings.

Wow, What a read! Hard to put down
While a fan of the author, not normally my preferred genre.
But wow what a read. Exciting, captivating, curious and fun the whole way through.
With interesting characters, plot twists and a spectacular world to explore.
I highly recommend it to everyone.
