About this listen

A former friend has betrayed the Raksura and their groundling companions, and now the survivors must race across the Three Worlds to rescue their kidnapped family members.

When Moon and Stone are sent ahead to scout, they quickly encounter an unexpected and potentially deadly ally, and decide to disobey the queens and continue the search alone. Following in a wind-ship, Jade and Malachite make an unlikely alliance of their own, until word reaches them that the Fell are massing for an attack on the Reaches, and that forces of the powerful Empire of Kish are turning against the Raksura and their groundling comrades.

But there may be no time to stage a rescue, as the kidnapped Raksura discover that their captors are heading toward a mysterious destination with a stolen magical artifact that will cause more devastation for the Reaches than anything the lethal Fell can imagine. To stop them, the Raksura will have to take the ultimate risk and follow them into forbidden territory.

The Harbors of the Sun, from celebrated fantasy author Martha Wells, is the thrilling follow-up to The Edge of Worlds, and the conclusion of a new Three Worlds duology of strange lands, uncanny beings, dead cities, and ancient danger.

Very much enjoyed this book it was exciting and I had great difficulty putting it down. It was spoiled by the use of a different narrator. Why use a different narrator Audible? When you get used to one narrator for the previous books in the series, to change it for the final (perhaps) book spoils it for the audience who has become used to the previous voice and for whom the characters are that voice. This is not the first time this has happened with a series and I find it very annoying. Despite all the above it’s a great book with fantastic scenes and ideas. I shall listen again now I know this narrator’s voices and perhaps I’ll enjoy the book even more. No doubt that Martha Wells is a fabulous fantasy writer and deserves greater accolades. Her ideas are so very different to the vast majority of fantasy/sci-fi writers out there.

Great Story

the story and author 100 per cent enjoyed...the narrator through audible changed and ruined the book. I was used to the voices of the characters and now, in the very last book, it is so confusing. spoilt the book for me.

I'm not even 10 minutes is and this narrator is sub-par. He couldn't listen the other 4 books in the series to keep the pronunciation of the names consistent? How utterly disappointing.

So I eventually got to the end and the story is fantastic, but my opinion of the narrator stands. He's so off base with his portrayal of almost all of the characters, he pronounces words weirdly, the most annoying example of which is saying "barred her teeth" instead of "bared her teeth", repeatedly! I'm so mad that this book finally got done in audio and this is the result. The author must be absolutely furious.

narrator sucks
