About this listen

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

****

What if the Dark Lord won?

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields.

But now a troublemaker has arrived and there is rumour of revolt. A revolt that depends on a criminal no-one can trust and a young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all metals.

Promised a lot but was let down by average narration

If you’re are searching for an American narrator, you’ll probably love this, but for anyone else you’ll struggle to get beyond the average performance. Accents are dreadful. Seriously, did this guy even audition? I assume Duxon is supposed to be Scottish but who would know for sure.

The story is fine, nothing special and not a patch in the Lighbringer series. I won’t be continuing.

Once again Brandon Sanderson does not dissapoint

What did you like most about The Final Empire?

I like the 'in the moment' engaging method that Brandon uses.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Final Empire?

I like the imagery of the Steel Inquisitors

Which character – as performed by Michael Kramer – was your favourite?

Kelsier

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but who ever has the time for that?

Any additional comments?

What a great author, always a reliably good read/listen. I have to comment that the emphasis and inflection on the word 'balls' by the narrator had me in stitches at times. You'll see if you listen Haha!

Grew on me

First few chapters i found it difficult to follow michaels voice, but i think it was just being new to audio books. This story takes its time setting up but then sticks firm to it and delivers exceptionally well. i look forward to seeing where this fantasy world goes next!
