Dawnshard (Dramatized Adaptation)

The Stormlight Archive

De: Brandon Sanderson

Narrado por: Danny Montooth, Andy Brownstein, Elizabeth Jernigan, Lily Beacon, Evan Casey, Matthew McGee, Yasmin Tuazon, Joe Mallon, Robbie Gay, Stephon Walker, Chris Davenport, full cast

From Brandon Sanderson–author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War–comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale (like Edgedancer before it) gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine.

When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akina, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea.

Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Performed by Danny Montooth, Yasmin Tuazon, Matthew McGee, Elizabeth Jernigan, Joe Mallon, Andy Brownstein, Lily Beacon, Robbie Gay, Chris Davenport, Evan Casey, Stephon Walker, Nazia Chaudhry, Keval Shah, Julie Hoverson, Christopher Williams, Laura C.

The Lopen

I'm so glad Graphic Audio finally did Dawnshard! Everyone needs more of the Lopen in their life!

Voice acting and also the story itself

If you are reading this or plan to read this, it most likely means, you read SA #1, 2, and 3rd. And even the 2.5 novella.

Then you will love this! Might even be a better novella than 2.5 one Edgedancer

<spoiler>Tells more a lot about cosmere, our funny but kind Lopen develops more and I never thought Rysn to be such main awesome character especially to other novels.</spoiler>


I have the ebook version but this GraphicAudio made this book 10x better. Superb voice acting plus sound design. Even the mere side character that has one page of dialogue talks like a prime voice actor! Damn! I love it
Especially now I know what Kaladin, Lopen and Navani actually sound like

Lopen does sound like a mexican in my head but I didnt expect Navani to be full on British or England accent. I gues Alekthar is either a representation of USA or Eurpoe

Fantástico book with fantastic Voice cast

A great complement to the stormlight collection with wonderful Voice aceita cast. This nerds to be done to all brandon sanderson Books!

quality and story

literally amazing. if you like storm light, read this. The Lopen is one of the MCs.

Stick to regular audio

Accidentally bought the dramatized version of this book, and am I paying for it now. The voice acting itself isn’t bad, but the accents chosen for characters are bizarre and the pronunciations of most races, countries, etc are wrong. Seems like no actual research was done by the production team before recording. Just a brutal, frustrating listen.

Stick with Kramer and Reading!

I cringed the whole way through this version. The accents don't fit, the pronunciations are off, the constant background music just took me out of the experience. If you are used to dramatized versions, this might work for you. But if you are used to Michael Kramer and Kate Reading...I would 100% suggest you stick with their version. I found myself checking over and over again how much time was left before it was over...:sigh: it still has more time...🙄😔
