About this listen
The Sunday Times Bestselling Series
From the Sunday Times bestselling and critically acclaimed author Daniel Abraham, co-author of The Expanse, comes the second novel in a monumental epic fantasy trilogy that unfolds within the walls of a single great city, over the course of one tumultuous year.
Kithamar is a center of trade and wealth, an ancient city with a long, bloody history where countless thousands live and their stories endure. This is Garreth's.
Garreth Left is heir to one of Kithamar's most prominent merchant families. The path of his life was paved long before he was born. Learn the family trade, marry to secure wealthy in-laws, and inherit the business when the time is right. But to Garreth, a life chosen for him is no life at all.
In one night, a chance meeting with an enigmatic stranger changes everything. He falls in love with a woman whose name he doesn't even know, and he will do anything to find her again. His search leads him down corridors and alleys that are best left unexplored, where ancient gods hide in the shadows, and every deal made has a dangerous edge.
The path that Garreth chooses will change the course of not only those he loves, but the entire future of Kithamar's citizens.
In Kithamar, every story matters - and the fate of the city is woven from them all.

Spoilt by the Narrator
It took me a long while to get past the narrator of this book. I had re-listened to ‘Age of Ash’ just prior to starting this and went straight into Blade of Dream. It sounded like it was being narrated by Siri or some other text to speech engine. I really didn’t like the female voices and although I appreciate it is Gareth’s story, there is a lot of Elaine as well so Soneela Nankani would have been just as valid a choice for narration.
As to the story, I enjoyed the intrigue and seeing the same events for different points of view, filling out the story from book 1. It is fast paced and I was glad I persevered to the end. I look forward to the final part of the trilogy, hoping it reverts to Soneela Nankani as narrator.

Immersive narrative
Great nuanced characters and immersive worldbuilding. Daniel Abraham does an amazing job yet again. The only downside was the narrator who had a very nasal voice.

Performance is so bad that I cannot finish
I usually don’t take too much note of the reader unless they are very good. For I am of the general opinion that if the story is good it usually carrie itself.
This is an exception though as the readers here is so bad that I stopped listening at chapter 2.
This says a lot as the author is one of my all time favs, and I preordered this audiobook as soon as it was announced.
I would love it if there was a re-release of this read by Soneela Nankani (or anyone else for that matter)
For now I will by it in text format.
(Because Really, it is like listening to a 10 year old reciting gospel in school)
