Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Historia
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Amazing fantasy and relatable humans
Did my partner get this book thinking it was the first in a series? yes
Did I question my sanity and wanting to hear all of Simon's adventures that were mentioned? yes
Did we both learn as I was practically finished with the book that it is in fact not the first series in this universe? also yes.
But did this make the book less enjoyable? No, well maybe a little. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the characters, though the start was a little rough and that might have been eased by having read the previous books about Simon and his rise to high-king.
On to what happens in this book, it is a lot and its enough to keep me intrigued while also enough for me not to be able to guess all of the plotlines a mile away(which is something I struggle with when the plot is too linear). The realisations on why we get to follow certain characters and their role in the bigger picture is just *chefs kiss*
Now I have to admit I name no characters except for Simon because I cant remember names to save my life. However I knew who each POV was easily not only by their names but also distinct personalities, only 2 or 3 characters got confused in my mind at times. But I see that as a personal flaw and not an issue with same-face-syndrome. The world is large but not incomprehensible, religion and politics are nuanced and people have their own moral guidelines.
At the end we get some resolutions and also a fantastic setup for the next book where I am excited to continue the series! Where will the prince end up, will they find out what happened in the staircase and how will the queen fare on her mission to deal with political unrest?
All in all I would have given this a 5/5 if I would have had an easier time getting into the book, for now my rating is 4.5/5

Yes!
Love it. The main story, all the little side-stories and the characters. And the audio narration is great, too.
It feels so wonderful to be back. I didn't realize how much I have missed these characters, before I started listening.
Now, I can hardly stop listening. Can't wait to hear the rest of their stories.

Simply good.
Very good continuation of the series, known for its slow pacing and lots of events going on.
The main characters of the first four books are now either old, parents, unhappy or just dead... "and they were not so ever happy as they tought they would".
And I like it that way, just as life.
The new younger cast is well portrayed, interesting and they dont create a feeling of instant dislike as it seems to happen in other franchises when it comes to teenagers or just young people new to the reader.
Same goes for the new and old villains: Williams put a lot of effort in showing lots of interesting insights of the norn and sitha societies which turns out to be just as bad and flawed as humans, each in their own way.
In many ways the story here is much more interesting than in the first four books, but then again here we dont need to go through as many character presentations as in the original saga.
Word of advice: if youre totally new to this series do not start with this one.
Start from The Dragonbone Chair.
Just dont come expecting to reach page two and have an "And then he swinged his brutal battleax and killed three enemies which fell bleeding to the floor in agony. He spat on their corpses and continued the massacre."
This saga is the exact opposite of what Conan or Gotrek and Felix offer in terms of instant action (both approaches are good, just trying to differentiate)
Andrew Wincott does a great job as narrator, nothing more to say there.
If you enjoy long stories which develop slowly, with lots of scenes of the type "they sat next to the fire for the next 50 pages and spoke about legends of old, their enemies plans and origins and their own and decided what to do bla etc... while having tea, and beer, and cookies" combined with good adventures happenning at the same time give this a try.
Edit: they never sat next to the fire for the next 50 pages but the idea is wonderful in itself.

Accents
First time I ever heard the welsh accent sprinkled throughout the story regardless of race (human/nonhuman characters)。 Really wish he’d kept the accents specific to each group, it would have been more immersive. His regular narrative voice was great… just the character reading was off. (By the way I’m Welsh)
