Aerisia: Land Beyond the Sunset

The Sunset Lands Beyond Series, Book 1

De: Sarah Ashwood

Narrado por: Ruthie Bowles

An entire world is in danger, and I’m supposed to save it. Only...it’s not my world.

Before saving another realm, she must learn to save herself.

Hannah's college plans didn't include becoming the savior of a parallel world and getting tangled up with an immortal warrior.... The mystery of other worlds is not one Hannah Winters ever dreamed she’d solve. She also never counted on meeting an elderly stranger bearing an enchanted moonstone during her evening run, a stranger claiming to have crossed from another world in search of that realm’s promised deliverer. Her.

Protests have no sway with the visitor, and Hannah finds herself transported to Aerisia, a mysterious land beyond Earth’s sunsets. Here, Hannah is believed to be the Artan, a legendary heroine prophesied to oppose the dreaded Dark Powers. Majestic fairies, the immortal Simathe, and the peaceful Moonkind are all willing to help her discover her true identity, but Hannah’s just an ordinary college student from Earth. She doesn't have any latent magical abilities and she’s not the Artan.

Unfortunately, her allies aren't seeing it that way. Neither are her enemies. In fact, Hannah’s life is in jeopardy from the moment she arrives in Aerisia, which means becoming the Artan may be the only way to survive....

An epic portal fantasy adventure with original races, familiar fairy tale creatures, plenty of twists and turns, lots of action, and a dash of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance. Suitable for YA and adult listeners. Welcome to Aerisia! Begin your journey today.

So good!

Wonderful start to the series and an intriguing plot in a beautiful fantasy world, Aerisia. This story seriously sucks you in pretty much immediately; I was hooked as soon as Hannah found herself confused and transported to another world unexpectedly. It was easy to find myself relating to Hannah and what she was experiencing because I’m pretty sure I would be in complete disbelief if I had been in her shoes. Can’t wait to get into the next book!

Great book, great performance

Story was 4.5, not my usual type of read but it was so good! And the performance was amazing. Really good audiobook, I definitely recommend!

Amazing beginning

This is a fantastic book to start the trilogy that’s going to be epic and I can’t wait for the next installment in this series

THIS DRAMATIC STAR CROSSED LOVERS TALE WAS GREAT

STORY IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND OLDER LISTENERS.

HAS FANTASY DARK SENCES.

NARRATOR WAS GOOD AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Love this book

Aboustely loved this book, couldn't stop listening.. The Narrator brought the book to life

Warrior Lord

Great premise, but a bit of info download in the beginning. I'm totally in love with the warrior lord... lol. The narrator has incredible range and did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life.

Splendid Fantasy

I enjoyed this first book in "The Sunset Lands Beyond" series. The story was creative and fun. I admired the extensive world building that contained different races and unusual creatures. The tale centered around Hannah, who was both relatable and realistic. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Ruthie Bowles' narration was fine, and her voice was pleasant. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Loved the narrator!

This book was interesting. I really liked the cover, unique creatures, and the lore of the land. Ilgard was my favorite character!

Overall, the best part of this audiobook was the narrator. She really brought the story to life and made it fun to listen to.

Had to keep listening!

A really well performed story. While nothing groundbreaking, I really enjoyed the world that was weaved together for this. The rest of this review could be spoilers so... your choice.
I really liked that the main character didnt just find themselves in a new world and then after a 10 minute event, decide that they were cool with the whole situation. It took time to come to terms!

I look forward to book 2

Can't Wait for the Next Book!

Parents: appropriate for 16+
Language: none
Violence: PG-13
Sexual content: attempted rape, references to virginity

The main character is fascinating and much more realistic than your typical magical adventure characters. Hannah is relatable, you get very invested in her personal journey to acceptance of this new life she finds herself in. The warrior chief is such a cool character. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Narrator has differentiations that are well executed and fun to listen to.
