A Curse of Krakens

De: Kevin Hearne

Narrado por: Xe Sands, Luke Daniels

From the New York Times bestselling creator of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes the final book in the epic fantasy trilogy that began with A Plague of Giants, about a war that broke a continent—and opened the door to a new world.

Seeker and Sower
Pen Yas ben Min’s cousin was one of the legendary heroes of the wars against the giants until her untimely death. Pen has grown up in her famous cousin’s shadow, but when she’s given a quest to plant the seed of the magical Fourth Tree, she has a chance to step into the light—and usher in a new age for her country.

Fighter and Friend
Abhi’s life—and the world—changed when he discovered a lost magic: the power to speak to animals. After fighting so many battles, he’s weary and longs for home and his love, Tamhan. But before he can return, there is one last mission that only Abhi can complete: to speak to the colossal creatures who wait beneath the waves—the krakens.

Sailor and Explorer
Koesha and her shipmates have already made an impossible journey by navigating the Northern Yawn, at the end of which she secured an unusual cloak. But when that cloak turns out to be the key to unlocking the mystery of the Seventh Kenning, Koesha has to risk everything on another life-threatening journey and hope that she can steer her crew to safety.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for A Blight of Blackwings

“So strong [that] it is very easy to become immersed . . . Kevin Hearne is continuing to prove how earned his reputation is as a storyteller at the top of his game who is continuing to push his storytelling skills to new heights. A Blight of Blackwings is an immensely entertaining, rewarding, and powerful novel.”—SFFWorld

“Elements mesh perfectly, presenting an inventive, eye-filling panorama . . . that will leave readers impatiently awaiting the concluding volume.”—Kirkus Reviews


Praise for A Plague of Giants

“A spectacular work of epic fantasy . . . A Plague of Giants is a roller coaster, a whirlwind and an absolute delight, and will leave fans of epic fantasy hungry for the next installment in the Seven Kennings series.”—Shelf Awareness

“If you’re looking for some entertainment before Game of Thrones returns to television, this could be the series you need to read.”—Newsday

“There’s a great deal of depth to this world, from its deep history, its magic, its characters and how they all come together rather organically. . . . The easiest and most apt comparison is to Patrick Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicle.”—SFFWorld

“A genuine page-turner . . . vividly described, moves briskly, and features a splendid climax.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Imbued with Kevin Hearne’s phenomenal wit, charm, and originality.”—Jason M. Hough, author of The Darwin Elevator

“A Plague of Giants is an absorbing epic fantasy, with clever storytelling that allows its many threads to each feel important, personal, and memorable. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel!”—James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was Lost

Great book!

Perfect ending to a great trilogy! Very well done Kevin Hearn! Narrators are great too.

a great ending to a wonderful series

I pre ordered this. Mr. Herne has graduated to an "insta buy author." And Mr. Daniel's performance is wonderful of course.

Please never sing again.

This third installment is amazing. And the audible version is again unforgivably marred by the truly, terribly, and completely cringworthy attempts of the best audible narrator's at song in the beginning of every chapter. I dreaded this element of the book as much, no MORE than I looked forward to Hearne's epic conclusion.

amazing as always

I laughed, I cried, did both some more, had mustard and cheese... the world of the 7 Kennings is wonderful

Enchanting book!

This is the ending of a remarkable trilogy. The only detractors is that this ends the story. Wish there were 10 more coming.

String end to a great series

This series was told in a unique and interesting style. It took some getting used to, but after that it was a cool take on the genre. The story is full and rich and built on characters and their myriad motivations. And the voice acting was incredible and the actors were tasked with doing more than is typical and absolutely rose to the challenge.

This generation’s Tolkien

I devour everything Kevin writes. The worlds and characters he has created are amazing. The 7 kennings is fantastic. A constant struggle between good and evil, right and wrong.

Great conclusion to a fantastic trilogy

One of my favorite series ever! Superb, complex world building and the highly skilled narrators really help you keep the characters distinct.

Each book is epic

The writing is top notch, the multiple points of view show the whole picture, and the narrators do a great job. I like the landing of the alliance on the shores of the bone giants.

Phenomenal

Where to begin? I suggest you begin with book one if you haven't already. This trilogy is wonderful. Think original, rather than prequel. I read the book on release and added the audiobook to my Kevin Hearne collection at the same time. I spent today in the hospital recovering from surgery and this audio book took me out of my misery and graciously allowed me along for the ride.

The characters are individually fantastic, writing for so many POV characters is nightmare but Mr. Hearne makes it look easy. The story is great. I love the world building, the attention to language and the nuances of the races as much as their obvious differences. The entire experience has been superb. This series is worthy of everyone's time. I cannot rate it highly enough.

Luke Daniels and Xe Sands are outstanding, as they were in the previous 2 installments. The care and love with which they present the story is a delicious salve that helped tremendously with my recovery today. Creating individual voices for POV characters isn't just tricky for the author, the interpretations by these 2 fine voice actors are just as good. Perhaps it is my familiarity with the characters over 3 books but at no point was I ever unsure of which character was in the driver's seat. Kudos all round for that.

This is a story of high fantasy. The series is a different approach to the genre and unwraps itself in an unusual but not unfamiliar fashion. It harks back to the old oral tradition of story telling. From the get go I was onboard. I really hope you are too.

Mr. Hearne has a wicked sense of humor, an enviable imagination, a philosophy, at least in his writing of this book, which permits exploration of fundamental facets of humanity. He also has a deep compassion for our flawed species. All that AND mustard, gigantic monsters, gods, bugs, magic and krakens. what are you waiting for? Listen to this TODAY!!
