Über diesen Titel
Who better to fight back the darkness of the world than the one responsible for most of it?
Daylen, once known as the Great Bastard, the Scourge of Nations, Dayless the Conqueror, has lived in hiding since his presumed death. Burdened by age and tremendous guilt, he thinks his life is coming to an end. Unbeknownst to him he’s about to embark on a journey towards redemption where his ruthless abilities might save the world. Many battles await with friends to be made and a past filled with countless crimes to confront, all the while trying to keep his true identity a secret.
Indeed, it might be too much if not for the fabled power awaiting him.
Everfall is a world of perpetual day where the continents float in an endless sky. If one jumps from the continent they will fall for many hours before returning to the same place from which they fell. Skyships rule the air powered by shining sunstone and industrial darkstone. A legendary order of knights bears mystical powers which they use to hunt out the dreaded shade, monsters that regular people turn into if trapped in darkness for the length of a fall.
It is a world of enchanted swords, merciless monsters, mystical knights, and hard magic, filled with tales of wonder and adventure.

Nonetheless this audiobook has chained my inear headphones to my ears for the past 3 days.
I just couldn't resist the urge to find out more about Talos and the world Brooks has crafted.
the plot of Shadow of the conqueror stands out above plots of more classic high fantasy novels and with a few truly shocking twists it makes getting to know each character intriguing and highly rewarding.
Another selling point of this audiobook is the well thought out hard magic system in use. without spoiling anything I can say that learning more about the workings of it is highly satisfying. Especially compared to worlds where you're left to wonder how magic worked. It seems less like a device for the author to resolve otherwise unsolvable situations and more of important anchorage for the story.
Now, I didn't give a 5 star review and here's why:
firstly, the quality of the voice actors is great and both manage to bring the characters to life. However, I found it to break said immersion to have them both speak all the characters. e.g hearing Kramer speak the bringer and then having Reading use a different tone of voice and slightly different pronunciation. The same goes the other way around and this is not to say that any one of each voice actor did a less than good job. It's just that I grew accustomed to both Kramer and Reading, reading the characters separately in the first half of the book. So hearing them read the others character took me out for a bit.
Overall I have to say that this already is one of my favourite fantasy books and I'm looking forward in hope of more out of this fictional world. I definitely recommend this audiobook to people that like action and getting confronted with moral dilemmas in a thought through fantasy setting.

This is a redemption Story of a Tyrant trying to escape his guilt. The world and it's inhabitants are interesting and his spin on magic is refreshing. Mixing the fantastical with physics.
It's a well structured and captivating story.
I hope for more.

The speakers are also really good. They give each character their own personality, transmite emotions and give live to the story.
Overall a fantastic (audio)bookm abd I can't wait for the next part of the series.
The author is a medieval weapons and fantasy nerd

My favourite part was when Daylin first received and tested his powers. And I also really enjoyed some of the interactions between Lhyra and Qusack, [RIP] (if that is how you spell his name)
Though overall, it was an awesome experience, I can't help but feel, there was supposed to happen more in the story. The end came rather quickly and somehow felt less climactic than I would have thought.
Some things didn't quite make sense to me, like how supposedly nobody before Dylan ever figured out that darkstone suppresses arch night powers. Or how the bottom half of a floating island crashing down on a city is so much better than an entire floating island doing the same.
Anyway, I would still definitely recommend this book; especially to people interested in worldbuilding and hard magic systems.
Like for your YouTube videos I am looking forward to your next one, Shad. 😊
A second world, well worth my time.
