Soulhome

The Weirkey Chronicles, Book 1

By: Sarah Lin

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Betrayed. Murdered. Reborn. One last chance, to make it right.

Theo's adventure ended with his mentor's hands around his neck. The betrayal cost him his friends, allies and everything he had built...but not his life. Though broken and powerless, Theo has one last chance to enter the Nine Worlds, wielding the knowledge and expertise of his first life. This time, he needs more than just power, he needs to unravel the deception that killed him once...and is coming for him again.

Reborn in the world of Tatian, the odds are stacked against Theo this time. Demons are crawling from the darkness, inter-dimensional travelers are working against him, and a shadowy conspiracy lies in wait to destroy him. Theo has a plan to gather allies and regain his power, but weakened from his rebirth, he'll have to survive long enough to enact it.

Sarah Lin is the best-selling author of Street Cultivation, the critically acclaimed The Brightest Shadow, and several other completed works. Soulhome is the first book in her newest series.

I love the magic system

I love crafting things personally so the idea that you craft things as the basis of the magic system is awesome. I've read the books that are out and have been waiting for the audiobooks. You can't really beat Travis as a reader.

Fascinating Take on Progression Fantasy

While I can't say I've read tons of progression/cultivation fantasy, I have read a variety and am a fan of the Cradle series, A thousand Li, He Who Fights with Monsters, and others. The Weirkey Chronicles has a fascinating twist on the usual cultivation stories and I'm finding it very intriguing.

Soulhome is the foundational book of the series and opens a whole new world, or nine worlds, that must be described and developed while introducing us to many characters plus quite a novle approach to the traditional idea of cultivation. I enjoyed getting to know the primary characters and their diverse cultures while also learning about the concept of crafting one's soul through building a representational home... unique barely begins to describe this method or the people we meet.

I've really enjoyed getting to know this new series and eagerly await each new installment.

Travis Baldree does his usual exceptional work bringing this world and the characters to life. I found this series because Travis Baldree was the narrator. I will continue because it's a great concept with great characters and stories.

4.5 stars

Read on Kindle Unlimited first, then bought the audible audiobook. It’s a good, if short, read. Time to re-read book 2!

Sarah Linn is Awesome

I had the pleasure of reading this before I listened. And the narration made it better

fantastic book eith a fantastic performance

Soulhome is a fun, fast paced story with an interesting magic system and world building. I thought the different cultures and how they interact with each other was very interesting. Poor Fiya is a cinnamon roll. Travis Baldree was excellent as always. Highly Highly recommend!
