Über diesen Titel
Brian Staveley, author of The Emperor's Blades, gives listeners the first book in a new epic fantasy trilogy based in the world of his popular series the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, The Empire's Ruin.
Best of Summer 2021 - Polygon
The Annurian Empire is disintegrating. The advantages it used for millennia have fallen to ruin. The ranks of the Kettral have been decimated from within, and the kenta gates, granting instantaneous travel across the vast lands of the empire, can no longer be used.
In order to save the empire, one of the surviving Kettral must voyage beyond the edge of the known world through a land that warps and poisons all living things to find the nesting ground of the giant war hawks. Meanwhile, a monk turned con-artist may hold the secret to the kenta gates.
But time is running out. Deep within the southern reaches of the empire and ancient god-like race has begun to stir.
What they discover will change them and the Annurian Empire forever. If they can survive.

Kritikerstimmen
“Brian Staveley’s books are epic in every sense of the word. His characters are complex, his history deep, his plots rife with action and intrigue. He’s a giant in the genre, no doubt.” (Nicolas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld)
“If you loved Brian Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, then hang onto your war hawk, 'cause his new book, The Empire’s Ruin, returns to the world of the crumbling Annurian Empire in a spectacular way. Fans of Staveley's work, and those who enjoy epic fantasy outside the conventional mold, are going to unearth treasure.” (R.S. Belcher)
It would be fine if these characters had a little bit of humor, but it all seems artificially gloomy.
The characters feel kinda bland, Rock even stupid and slow.
Joe Jameson just slaughters this little bog man with his voice akting. By far the worse parts of the book. Quirk and Cudbill do a good job and I would have enjoyed a bit more of the thief/monk character, as it is by far the best storyline.
Good story, sometimes awkward phrasing and reading

Seine "Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne"-Trilogie ist sowas wie die Vorgeschichte zu "The Empire's Ruin", über die einige Charaktere eingeführt werden. Zwingende Voraussetzung, um Freude an "The Empire's Ruin" zu haben, ist sie jedoch nicht (aber trotzdem ausdrücklich eine Empfehlung).
Spannende Charaktere, gut erzählt, Prise Humor
