About this listen

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today's leading master of what Tolkien called 'secondary creation', the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn't like his job, and the immortal who's still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren's capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can be collected only one unit at a time from individual people.

By using breath and drawing upon the colour in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron, the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery; and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

Worth every minute spent on this book

This is another Sanderson beautifully produced. Listening multiple times was just as enjoyable as reading it for the first time.

I loved it!

Warbreaker takes you on a ride of happiness, joy, sadness , heartbreak. Some of the characters you tend to hate in the beginning will grow on you. Its about the journey of their evolution into becoming a better person. Acceptance of all people. Looking forward to read the sequel!

A masterclass in worldbuilding

Sanderson is without a doubt the master of fictional high fantasy worlds and hard magic systems. both of which are at the forefront of this book. The characters grow incredibly and their arcs are believable and relatable. The magic itself is nothing short of marvelous, though nothing less is expected of Sanderson.
Alyssya Bresnahan has done a phenomenal job with the narration. None of the voices were irritating(as is the case with some narrators) and many were downright lovable.

A great standalone book set in Cosmere universe

The cast of characters gets an A+. Especially loved Lightsong and also Denth. The story is about avoiding war, so lot of politics and very less action which I seemed to really enjoy.

I barely could keep the book down in the latter half. I would highly recommend this.

Unpredictable !

My first Brandon Sanderson series is Stormlight Archive which is awesome and also has increased my expectations over his books . That may be the reason I didn't find this book that captivating but it is good .

Captivating

Captivating story by Brandon Sanderson and magical narration by Alyssa Bresnahan. It was my first audio book as well as my first book by Brandon. Loved it way too much.

So so good: both story AND naration!

First of all the naration is really good, don't listen to people who says otherwise. And
Second of all the story is brilliant, it has the mysterious touch, as the best books Brandon Sanderson writes (as I've come to believe, all his books has that), enjoy listening.

P.S. (just my humble opinion) Her naration of blushweaver is dangerous seductive.

A beautiful colorful tale

it's awesome how Sanderson comes up with these brilliant magic systems. And doesn't ever info-dump you with it- it's a really good slow burn almost mystery tale with twists and turns that will leave u wanting more. the start is a little slow but it's necessary to get invested in ciri and vivenna as characters. And all of the other characters are glorious in their own right. loved it.
