Age of Myth [Dramatized Adaptation]

The Legends of the First Empire, Book 1

By: Michael J. Sullivan

Michael J. Sullivan's trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original five-book series.

Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.

Excellent Listen

I very much enjoyed the dramatization. I like the twists and turns, intrigue, and the beginning of romance.

various voices were great! story kept me engaged.

I've been stuck in Romantacy genres and this was a refreshing change. I loved the vocals and accents! thought it was great.

Good Production but Cringeworthy Pronunciations

I really like the dramatized versions of this series. However, it's very difficult hearing pronunciations of proper names differently in the dramatized version than in the original audiobooks.

mon-du-lay or mo-win-du-lay?
tesh-lore or tek-a-lore?
gil-ar-ah-brin or gila-rab-ru-in?

Amazing Story and Awesome Performances

This story was so well-done and a complete 10/10. I was engaged from start to finish! The voice acting was phenomenal as well as the production. You really feel completely immersed in the story! I can’t recommend it enough if you’re a fan of fantasy or stories with great world-building.

Also FYI, another review mentioned that this wasn’t the complete 1st book but it definitely is.

I really liked this!

Bought all of the series before I even finished this. Was exactly what I was looking for.
