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
Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North. In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war.

Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent. Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job.

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.

Resumen del Editor
The first book in the Song of Shattered Sands trilogy - an epic fantasy in the vein of A Thousand and One Nights.
In the city of Sharakhai, Çeda fights in the pits to scrape by a living. She, like so many in the city, pray for the downfall of the cruel, immortal Kings of Sharakhai. Then on the holy night when the powerful yet wretched creatures known as the Asirim wander the city and take tribute in order to protect the Kings, one of them tells Çeda the origin of their dark bargain. And this dangerous secret may be the very key she needs to throw off the iron grip the Kings have had over Sharakhai....

Historia
Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor.

In Lamentation, the first entry in the Psalm of Isaak series, an ancient weapon has completely destroyed the city of Windwir. From many miles away, Rudolfo, Lord of the Nine Forest Houses, sees the horrifying column of smoke rising. He knows that war is coming to the Named Lands. Nearer to the Devastation, a young apprentice is the only survivor of the city—he sat waiting for his father outside the walls, and was transformed as he watched everyone he knew die in an instant. Soon all the Kingdoms of the Named Lands will be at each others' throats.

Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and grand quests. When he is claimed against his will as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds that being a long-lost prince isn't what the storybooks promised. He also discovers that the storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, true love, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he’s not the hero, for Kihrin is not destined to save the empire. He’s destined to destroy it.

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.

Epic to a fault, fantastic lore, superb performance
I found Twelve Kings to be so grand and epic that it became exhausting or cumbersome at times, but it’s not self absorbed or grandiose. All of that weight, all of that story, makes to climax all the more powerful.
The setting is brilliant for being anything other than the Europe-esque standard of most fantasy. The place names and especially the character names were refreshing, if a bit hard to keep straight due to their unusual flavor. I count that as a deficit of the genre and of myself as a reader, though, and not a weakness of the author or story.
The magic is loose and understated, and I like that. It’s not a common presence in the everyday life of the characters, and therefore takes on an inherent mystery and ancient nature.
Ms. Coombs’ performance is stunning. Full of emotion, varied and consistent in voices, confident with unusual words and names.
I’m not yet 100% sure if I’ll continue following the story, to be honest. The magnitude of it is daunting to me.

Amazing story / Narrator not for everyone
Any additional comments?
It's a great story in a fully realized world. The pacing slows down a bit in places, but I was OK with this. It starts strong, and I actually enjoy a lot of the world building and scene setting. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book.
The narrator was problematic. I found the performance to be overacted. Whenever the voice actor did an accent it was painful to listen to and didn't really make sense either.

Song of Shattered Sands
I wonder how many times I've been tempted to start a review with this may be my new favorite series of all times or my new favorite author... There are some really amazing worlds and magic-systems out there, and this one is one of the best. I hesitated to read it because of several negative reviews on Audible and I'm so glad I went with my gut and grabbed this book, because I ended up really loving it! I can't give it 5 stars all the way across because it took me a little bit to get used to the narrator. That seems to be the complaint of others as well. Honestly, though, by the end, I couldn't imagine anyone else's voice doing the narration. Just stick it out, it's a great story.
The story begins in medias res, so the reader needs to be patient and let the story unfold the way Beaulieu tells it. We start with Ceda, a tough-as-nails teen orphan girl who has taken to pit fighting to make her way on the streets of Sharakhai. We learn about the life of the poor of children Sharakhai, the gutter wrens, the Kings who rule, the Maidens who guard the Kings, and the Asirim who are the monsterous and mysterious dangerous slaves of the Kings.
There are a large number of story lines, all somehow tied to Ceda and as the story unfolds, her role and importance to the city becomes increasingy understandable.
There is a little love story blooming with her childhood friend Emre, creating a little angst and suspense.
To wrap up...This may end up being my new favorite series of all time. We'll have to see:)
For those who care: yes, there is sex, drugs, cursing in the book. It's not like Game of Thrones, but it's not clean.

Great book!
If you want a story about a pit fighter who must get vengeance against god appointed rulers of a city, then this is a good book to try out. In an effort to keep this short, I'll say that my main qualm is that it seemed that the book switched tracks HARD part way through, almost entirely dropping the character's identity partway through.

Hooked after 30 second audio sample
Firstly, I don’t want to take away anything from the story, because I loved it - an hour in to my first listen I bought the next 2 available audiobooks, preordered the one after that, and downloaded 2 short stories to Kindle.
But the narration is exquisite. The accents, the pronunciations, the pacing - all perfect. Sarah Coomes reads as if she really cares about the characters and the story, and her pacing is not so fast that you can’t have little thoughts of understanding, about what just happened and what might happen next. You are able to get this enjoyable sense while reading but rarely when listening - thank you Sarah, loved it!
Could (and plan to with my purchases) listen to Sarah talk all day, just wonderful! You can tell she struck a chord for me - I’ll leave more of the actual story reviews to others more talented and descriptive than I.
On to the next book yet tonight - thank you Bradley and Sarah!

A believable world and context
What made the experience of listening to Twelve Kings in Sharakhai the most enjoyable?
It was well told and performed. I was hooked by the main character after the first 8 mins.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Ceda but I think she could do much better then Emray(sp?)I like her courage and determination. I very much enjoy stories of strong female characters who do not fit the mold.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Ceda learns where she came from.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes it did both make me laugh and cry. Though I find myself really disliking Emray, which is fine. It may even be that I am not meant to like him.
Any additional comments?
I hope it is not too long a wait for the next one.

Great world held back by slow pacing
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I listened to all 25 hours, so clearly I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'll listen to the future installments in this series. It was about 30% too long, the pacing was uneven, and it didn't end up going anywhere really. And yet I listened to all of it.
What three words best describe Sarah Coomes’s performance?
Her voice is pleasant, but it is obvious she narrates a lot of romance novels. Her voice could be really shaky, breathless, and dramatic too often. Half the time I liked it and half the time it drove me nuts. Kind of like the rest of the book.
Did Twelve Kings in Sharakhai inspire you to do anything?
Search out other fantasy stories set in non-Western worlds.

Slow to start, but it picks up
Twelve Kings is a pretty solid first book of a series. As a listener, I had some trouble following the plot due to the repeated jumps in the timeline, but once I was hooked on the main plot the jumps back to the past bothered me less and started to add to the story rather than distract. That said, it took about eleven hours out of the 25+ total listen to really get to that point. The saving grace for such a long hook is that the climax of the story is actually rather satisfying and left me wanting more, which I am fortunate enough to get in 3 days after writing this review when the second book is released.
