Resumen del Editor

The Music Edition edition of this audiobook comes enhanced with the occasional and subtle use of a soundtrack specifically composed for this novel by German film composer Marvin Kopp. For the non-music edition, please buy the Standard Edition instead.

Years after a harrowing war experience, ex-mercenary Jespar tre Moreste has taken to drifting. It’s a lonely existence, but barring the occasional bout of melancholia, he has found the closest thing to peace a man like him deserves. Life is “all right.”

Or so he believes. Hoping to turn the page, Jespar accepts a mysterious invitation into the beautiful but dangerous archipelago of Kilay—and everything changes. Plagued by boiling social tensions and terrorism, the tropical empire is edging ever closer to civil war. Kilay’s merchant king is the only person able to prevent this catastrophe, but he has fallen into a preternatural coma—and it’s Jespar’s task to figure out what or who caused it. As the investigation takes him across the archipelago and into the king’s nightmares, unexpected events not only tie Jespar’s own life to the mystery but also unearth inner demons he believed to be exorcised long ago.

Battling old trauma while fighting for his life, his sanity, and the fate of Kilay, the line between dream and reality blurs until only one question remains: If your mind is the enemy, where do you run?

A slow-burning, riveting blend of fantasy, mystery, and psychological horror, Dreams of the Dying is a deep exploration of mental illness, morality, and the dark sides of humanity.

Wow

Such a beautiful story about persevering, even though how hard and crooked the road is, rather than giving up. The performance by both narrators was spectacular (I often find myself getting too carried away during work, lmao). My only regret is that I should’ve read this book sooner.

Fantastic

Really great story nuanced and compelling characters very dark not for the weak or the soft.

Voice acting was impeccable, especially The Man

I stalked this book for a while and expected it to be good. It was not.
It was bloody marvelous!!!

mostly good

This book was pretty good, but it stayed to close to one of my most hated tropes/ genre. 4/5 were good but the 100 pages were from a sloppy romantasy,

Really good

I love is writing style the pacing and the way that twists often happen he did it in the game and in the book unlike most worlds almost anything can happen in the world of Vyn

great story and great audiobook

Nicolas's writing is out of this world, even with its new disconnection from its original source material, it's an amazing story with engaging characters and awesome world building. I love it. Ben's narration as well, he IS jespar and I can't imagine someone else taking his place. 10/10 for me. Can't wait for the next one

This audiobook is a hidden gem.

I love Enderal and luckily found this audiobook, the voice acting by Dave Fennoy & Ben Britton is legendary and the writing by Nicolas Lietzau brings out the best in them. I wish this audiobook got more recognition cause all these guys truly deserve it, I can tell yall put your hearts into this masterpiece.

The way it shows the battles of mental health hit me harder than a meteorite, it struck a chord with me, it was like somehow someone recorded the fights I have with myself, fights I could never put into words and put it into this audiobook. Nicolas Lietzau, Ben Britton & Dave Fennoy thank you for creating this amazing experience, I had to pause this audiobook multiple times so I could calm down at work so my eyes didn't become a waterfall,

I'm happy I didn't give up and kept on fighting & running because if I had I would've never came across this audiobook & Enderal. To anyone that is considering buying this book, it's worth it, it's worth every single second.

wonderful story, and a must listen and read

if you played the game and read the book, you know exactly what you're getting into. only real gripe was just wish the narration had a female voice to make the scenes with female characters more immersive and seamless

Just Incredible

One of the best fantasy novels I've ever read, no doubt.

Jespar’s character was incredible, and had me invested all the way through. This is the best I've seen depression used in a fantasy, I mean it really doesn't get better executed than this. Jespar and Lysia’s relationship was great, and Lysia was a very interesting character. Jespar and Kawu were my favorite character pairings though. Their dynamic is hard to describe, but I suppose “sweet” would be the appropriate word. My favorite parts of the book were the Interludes. The Man was even more relatable to me than Jespar, surprisingly enough.

My only complaint is the length. It's a bit long, and drags near the end, but that's really it.

Ben Britton and Dave Fennoy’s voice acting was just incredible, and with Marvin Kopp’s musical expertise to top it all off, it was nothing short of amazing. I’m immensely glad to have read it.

Good story confusing narrator

I really loved the story. But the switching of voices for characters was VERY confusing and annoying. They voices were really good. But the timing was wrong and confusing as f***. it's different don't know why it's under the horror genre. this is a if you got some extra credits listen.
