Historia
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

Historia
The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions - until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself - first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it - stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani.

Historia
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Historia
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.

Historia
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

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.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

So many stories begin the same way: With a prophecy. A chosen one. And the inevitable quest to slay a villain, save the kingdom, and fulfill a grand destiny. But this is not that kind of story. It does begin with a prophecy: A child will rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, a cruel immortal god-king, and save the kingdom. And that prophecy did anoint a hero, Jian, raised since birth in luxury and splendor, and celebrated before he has won a single battle.

Resumen del Editor
As a magical revolution remakes a city, an ancient evil is awakened in a brilliant novel from the Hugo-nominated author of Foundryside and the Divine Cities trilogy.
“An absolutely wild ride...Foundryside blew me away, and this is a perfect sequel.” (Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times Book Review)
A few years ago, Sancia Grado would’ve happily watched Tevanne burn. Now, she’s hoping to transform her city into something new. Something better. Together with allies Orso, Gregor, and Berenice, she’s about to strike a deadly blow against Tevanne’s cruel robber-baron rulers and wrest power from their hands for the first time in decades.
But then comes a terrifying warning: Crasedes Magnus himself, the first of the legendary hierophants, is about to be reborn. And if he returns, Tevanne will be just the first place to feel his wrath.
Thousands of years ago, Crasedes was an ordinary man who did the impossible: Using the magic of scriving - the art of imbuing objects with sentience - he convinced reality that he was something more than human. Wielding powers beyond comprehension, he strode the world like a god for centuries, meting out justice and razing empires single-handedly, cleansing the world through fire and destruction - and even defeating death itself.
Like it or not, it’s up to Sancia to stop him. But to have a chance in the battle to come, she’ll have to call upon a god of her own - and unlock the door to a scriving technology that could change what it means to be human. And no matter who wins, nothing will ever be the same.
The awe-inspiring second installment of the Founders Trilogy, Shorefall returns us to the world Robert Jackson Bennett created in his acclaimed Foundryside...and forges it anew.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“The book I’ve most thoroughly and uncomplicatedly enjoyed this year so far. It shocked and delighted and upset me from page to page, managing to thread humor and pathos and intrigue together with the speed and precision of a loom. Its comments on our present moment are so deft and sly that when they turn earnest it’s deeply affecting....[and] sometimes brought me to tears...I’m so excited to see what happens next.” (Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times)
"Bennett’s characterization...strikes a perfect balance between terror and allure. This thrilling installment will leave readers eager for the series finale." (Publishers Weekly)
"An expertly spun yarn by one of the best fantasy writers on the scene today." (Kirkus Reviews)

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible. Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.

The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Historia
The emperor's reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire's many islands. Lin is the emperor's daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. When her father refuses to recognise her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic.

The intricate magic system!
I love the tenacity of the characters and how there’s never a dull moment in these books.
I would like a little more world building though

Really good but some things annoy me
If you like the first book you'll like this one. And if you like fantasy you'll probably like the first one.
*Spoilers below*
Sancia is very smart when the author needs her to be, most of the time really. I assume she in fact is fairly intelligent. Yet she occasionally does completely idiotic things presumably to advance the plot. Just one huge and obvious example
When Sancia meets the heirophant villain the first time, he insistently asks her repeatedly, where is the key, where is the key, it what like 80% of his side of the conversation and she (smartly) resists telling him.
Fast forward a while later when heirophant villain's plots have advanced and he is looking for Valeria. Sancia and co. go to great lengths to protect Valeria. When the villain shows up outside their shop after murdering half the city, Sancia decides to go talk to him to delay him while *Gregor* lines up a shot with a magic scrived bullet to kill the heirophant. With *Clef* on her.
A) Gregor was previously controlled by said heirophant. Granted Sancia wasn't present but she and her team are all aware he can control Gregor since he and his mom put in his resurrection plate. It occurs to *no one* that Gregor might not be able to shoot the godlike heirophant who basically made him. In fact that is their whole plan that he can.
B) For some reason never given, Sancia takes Clef (the key) out of the zone of protection under Valeria's influence when she talks to the heirophant Presides. She *knows* he is desperately looking for the key, and that it gives him massive powers like the ability to cross barriers in reality, which among other things allows him to teleport.
Very predictably, Gregor can't shoot Presides and instead gets controlled by him, and Sancia basically just gives Presides the key after getting knocked around by Gregor.
This whole plan seemed out of character for the group who stormed the Mountain in Foundryside. Like they suddenly dropped from tactical geniuses to complete dumbasses because it advanced the plot for the villain.
Also, right after this, Baronese suddenly realizes her twinned plate with Sancia gives her all of her abilities, which she masters in about 10 seconds, because it's necessary for the plot for someone left to come save Sancia.
Like 80% of the book is good but there are these spots where all logic disappears just to advance the plot and it really annoys me.
---
Narrator is pretty good. Some of her voices are kinda cartoonish (Clef especially, but also Orso) or overly emotional, but she's ahead of the curve on audible.

Solid Sequel
Was a little unsure of how this would stack up given the end of the last book it just was clear where things might go but it stood its ground. Quite the cliffhanger on the end but that’s to be expected.

Lost the Plot
The first book, while containing some common fantasy tropes and predictable outcomes, was at least interesting in that it had some well written characters and a degree of mystery. This book feels like the author lost the plot of where he wanted to go with it all, and needed to drag it out into a trilogy.
The main characters are moving from catastrophe to catastrophe in a state of constant anxiety. The reader could have done a better job of mitigating that - she’s very expressive, which is usually a good choice - but in this case I found that I didn’t like the choice (I realise this is personal, but isn’t that always the case with readers?).
Finally, I believe there were some plot holes, or at least inconsistency in the way some key plot devices were used. I won’t spoil them here, but they really made me go “hmmm” and wrecked the immersion for me.

this author is my favorite by far fiction writer
I can't say I love this one in fact I kind of struggled to finish it. Foundryside the first book in the series was absolutely one of the greatest books ever written in as far as fantasy goes in my opinion Im a member of the Robert Jackson patronage I follow him on Twitter. I like a lot of people contacted him via Twitter to congratulate him on the release of this book. I am a huge fan I do feel like this book missed the mark slightly yet it is definitely worth reading but not a Worthy successor to Foundryside. best of luck to all Robert Jackson followers and readers hopefully that's the next book will be a homerun and please remember not everyone picthes a shutout every night and I still love Robert Jackson Bennett. he will remain as always remember of my Mount Rushmore all fiction writers

Amazing ramping of dread, but unused in the end.
Felt like the plot got too big for its own world by the end.

Fantastic!
This was fantastic! This book picks up just a few years after the events of the first book. Sancia, Orso, Gregor, and Berenice are still working together and I thought that they made a great team. The story was incredibly exciting since it seemed that Sancia and the rest of the group faced one impossible situation after another. There were more than a few surprises that kept the story very interesting. I was really worried about how things would work out for our crew and had a really hard time setting the book aside. I listened to the audiobook and thought that Tara Sands did a wonderful job in bringing this story to life.
I received a digital review copy of this book from Del Rey and purchased a copy of the audiobook.
