I was a bit surprised that the narrator of the audiobook (I switched back and forth between the two using Kindle's Whispersync) was a man, given that the two main characters were women, but considering that the other main character, Lightsong, was a guy--I gave them a pass. In any case, the narrator did a credible job. I read this when 1st released and I can't remember if it was this polished or if further editing was done since my initial read. I guess it really doesn't matter--this was a good one and I remain a Sanderson fan. FYI - Although I did, you don't have to pay for this book, it is available for free on Mr. Sanderson's website.

 After reading Warbreaker, it's readily apparent that Brandon Sanderson is an extremely talented author. The novel was a real page turner and was filled with wonderful characters and thoughtful original ideas. Sanderson's prose falls into a nice rhythm that helps to move the action forward. Multifaceted characters and action of both the mystical and sword-fighting realms bring added excitement to a complex and creative read. "Warbreaker" is an improvement on Sanderson's other work. And if he continues to follow along this path, fans of the Wheel of Time series will have nothing to worry about. But the narrative is richer, spinning together hilarious dialogue, descriptive action sequences, and genuinely sweet romance. The system of magic is also novel ... and demands far more of the characters' ingenuity, which in turn demands developing them--male and female, divine and mortal--to a far higher degree than one expects of much fantasy these days. Sanderson again demonstrates his capacity for handling large and complex themes while creating believable characters. Auszeichnungen
Im Reich Hallandren herrscht ein unsterblicher, magiebegabter Gottkönig, der trotzdem von seiner Priesterschaft unwissend gehalten wird. Er sammelt die Lebensenergie vieler Anhänger in sich, vervollkommnet dadurch seine Magie und nimmt stetig an Macht zu. Siri, eine Königstochter des Nachbarreiches Idris, wird zwangsweise mit ihm vermählt. Auch ihre ältere Schwester Vivenna macht sich nach Hallandren auf, um Siri zu retten. Als die Priesterschaft den Krieg gegen Idris beschliesst und gegnerische Banden Aufstände in der Hauptstadt anzetteln wollen, versuchen beide Schwestern, jede an ihrem Platz, das Schlimmste zu verhindern. Siri, die sich in ihren Gemahl verliebt hat, beginnt die Macht der Priesterschaft zu unterlaufen und Vivenna, zwischenzeitlich in einen Söldnerhaufen geraten und von ihren Prinzipien mehr den je entfernt, will den Kriegsbeginn mit allen Mitteln verhindern. Nach der letzten, erfolgreichen Trilogie (BA 7/10) entwirft der Autor wieder eine schillernde, fantasievolle Welt. Der Titel wird, trotz grossem Umfang, nie langweilig und kann ohne Vorbehalt empfohlen und gut eingesetzt werden Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The plot is as twisty as anyone could wish, and the magic system is as original and consistent as the one in Mistborn. Most interestingly, characters are seldom as simple as they appear, and they frequently misconstrue each other’s motives. Sanderson knows his genre and can spin a yarn with the best of them. (
