Über diesen Titel

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Darien by C.F. Iggulden, read by Daniel Weyman.

TWELVE FAMILIES. ONE THRONE. WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE OF SALT.

The city of Darien stands at the weary end of a golden age. Twelve families keep order with soldiers and artefacts, spies and memories, clinging to a peace that shifts and crumbles. The people of the city endure what they cannot change.

Here, amongst old feuds, a plot is hatched to kill a king. It will summon strangers to the city - Elias Post, a hunter, Tellius, an old swordsman banished from his home, Arthur, a boy who cannot speak, Daw Threefold, a chancer and gambler, Vic Deeds, who feels no guilt - and Nancy, a girl whose talent might be the undoing of them all.

As the sun sets, their arrival inside the walls will spark a series of explosive events. Before the sun returns, six destinies will have been made - and lost - in Darien.

The author achieved quite a lot with such a small page count. The buildup toward the first climax (at roughly the 60% mark) was interesting to observe and got me hyped to see how the main characters’ storylines would interweave and what the result of the clash between their diverse superpowers would be. What followed in the second part of the book, however, was slightly less engaging. I also feel that my connection to the characters, in general, wasn’t very strong, which is probably due to the book’s short length. Additional page time dedicated to developing the cast would have helped, I believe.

A good, fast-paced book
