Seaborn

The Seaborn Cycle, Book 1

De: Michael Livingston

Narrado por: Elizabeth Evans

The seven houses of the matriarchal Seaborn have plied the seas of the Fair Isles for centuries, trading among the islands and fending off the attacks by the fearsome Bone Pirate.

But suddenly, out of the night sky, a common enemy appears - the Windborn, who come without warning to raid, burn, and kill.

Hoping to turn the tide, Shae - the Bone Pirate’s first mate - enacts a daring plan to fight her way aboard a Windborn vessel. The raid yields a prize - the airship’s captain who is, to Shae’s shock, a man.

Together with a reluctant heroine named Bela, they learn the truth of their shared history: the Windborn and Seaborn come from the same people, split apart by blood magick when a race of immortal mechanical men betrayed their human makers.

Now, these unlikely allies must make a desperate journey to confront the secrets of the past - and stop the dark magick at its source.

Michael Livingston is also the author of Black Crow, White Snow; The Shards of Heaven; and At the End of Babel.

Seaborn

At first I though I wouldn’t like the story but I really got into. It’s a great story. I will enjoy the next one!

Good overall

I had a little trouble keeping the various characters in their proper places, since the story jumps back and forth between places and people, but enjoyed it for the most part.
The narrator is very good, BUT doesn't know that "quay" is pronounced like "key".
Since this word is used multiple times in the first chapter, I was almost irritated enough to give up on the book.
However, I kept listening and only had to put up with the mispronunciation a couple more times near the story's end.

Loved it

Elizabeth Evans is hands down one of my favorite narrators. Amazing job every time. Story grabs you from jump and is fast paced. Enjoyed every bit

Enjoyable audio book

A well crafted tale by Michael Livingston of an interesting world. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

A decent swashbuckling story

Excellent narrator, alright book. The world has many problematic implications that it doesn't seem to be aware of, but past that it's fine. It's less of an investment than One Piece for those seeking an island hopping sailing adventure, if nothing else
