Sometimes, someone just has to say it
Hellooo! So, for the past 4 months I have been forced to drive 2 hours a day to a job site north of town. This left me bored of my music rather quickly, and I discovered audibles not long before. SO after listening to the harry potter series and The eldest (eragon) series. I had to branch out. Here are some books I discovered that I think many of you might enjoy if you are into good ol fantasy! The narrators are also AMAZING!
First off is the Night Angel series. By Brent weeks It was a book my best friend recommended to me and boy did he get me hooked on it!
The series starts off slow in the first book, but you are soon plunged into a world of 'wetboys' which is assassins and a corrupt king that rules with terrible power. The magic in this series is called 'talent' and comes in several forms. As well as few other powers which I will not go into as it will provide spoilers. I really can't say much without ruining things. But I will say this. THE STORY IS SOLID AND ENGAGING. There wasn't a moment I wasn't interested and nothing was as it seemed, OR plot twists turned my world upside down. Paul Boehmer, the narrator, did an amazing job with voice acting for each nationality and individual, and his lady voice was pretty good too! Definitely recommend you guys listen to it! This series is also finished so you can dig in start to finish without the cliff hanger making you so mad you can't continue!
Second to go with is the series. Kings Dark Tidings. by Kel Kade
Once again, this series involves a corrupt king and the adventures of a young man named Rezkin. The book starts off with him growing up training in every form of fighting style and weapon with only knowledge of the world outside of his fortress home through books. He soon gets a taste of the world and his ignorance of everything will keep you smiling the whole time. As time goes on More characters join him and once again THE VOICE ACTING IS AWESOME! This book will have you crying, laughing, and angry all together! It is narrated by Nick podehi who did some awesome voices for the nobles, woman, and even Rezkin. Oh my god rezkin! He is so awesome! I really suggest this book to those who love a grand adventure. Now, this series is unfinished, but I think the third book is suppose to come out this year.
Third, The king killer chronicles. By Patrick Rothfuss
The tail is of a man named Kvothe, who is a tavern owner, being approached by a Man wanting to write a book of his adventures. The depth of detail this book goes into is awe inspiring and the writer is a master at his work! The strong emotions I have felt in this book just drove me to listen more and more. While I really can't go into detail with this one. What I can say is that Kvothe is a man of legend, someone who started from nothing and worked his way up with a reputation to rival that of gods. He is no special person however, he is talented and smart, but he makes all the mistakes a young man would growing up. Speaking of talent. The magic in this series is very scientific, very unique. You will be scratching your head at first but as the books go on, you will begin to understand the complex nature of such a cool talent. Nick Podehi is the narrator and he matches the emotion presented in the book so damn well. Expect the raising of a voice, the yelling of an angry person, the sorrow of someone crying. Sink your teeth into this book and you won't let go! Once more, this series is unfinished and the second book was published in 2011. The writer takes his work seriously and takes his time to make sure things are absolutely perfect. Here we are in 2017 and he says he is close, but still doesn't feel he has done a good job with what he has. Here is hoping it comes out this year because DAMNIT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
Anyway, I am on to listening to Metro 2033 as I remember there was a book that the video game was based off of and I want to see how awesome it is compared to the game.
Hope you guys get a chance to read these things, because They will rock your world!
