About this listen

 Sascha Stronach’s queer, Maori-inspired Endsong trilogy reopens on a city in flames, where a magic-wielding pirate crew uncovers an age-old fight between the gods that threatens their world.

The steel city of Radovan is consumed by fire between. Stranded in its harbor is the crew of the Kopek, the survivors of a bioterror attack overseas. But they bear scars: their captain, Sibbi, has gone missing; Yat, their newest Weaver, is fighting for control of her own mind; and their Weaving powers are in a badly weakened state.

To disable the technology that prevents the group from escaping, Sen and Kiada must plot their way through the ruins of the foreign capital, which is patrolled by a hostile militia, using wits alone. But to navigate through Radovan, Kiada will have to rely on her own history with the city—one she shares with a band of misfits dubbed Fort Tomorrow and their leader, Ari, a charismatic thief.

Ari may hold the key not only to saving Radovan from complete annihilation, but the history of their world, which will come into play as the gods begin to unleash destruction on humanity and one another. Epic Fantasy Literature & Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy World Literature Pirate

I was so excited for this book, but after relistening to Anna Coddington's breathtaking performance in The Dawnhounds the narration in The Sunforge is unfortunately a dealbreaker for me. I only extremely rarely neglect to finish a book, but the narrator here gives such a weak and amateurish performance that I had to give up a little under halfway. Her performance is delivered in a repetitive drone with only the barest amount of character diferentiation, and it truly feels like she is sight-reading without the skills to do it effectively. The story (as far into as I got) is interesting enough and the new characters fit well into Stronach's world - so I can't mark the book down for the quality of writing - but unless the story is re-recorded with a more professional narrator I will unfortunately have to leave the narrative threads unfollowed.

Terrible narration.
