Immortal Connections

An Epic Fantasy Novel (Celestial Cataclysms, Book 1)

De: Tao Wong

Narrado por: Tim Lounibos

A new Immortal has risen... and with him, the fate of all the realms hangs in the balance.

Long Wu Ying has ascended to the Heavens, fulfilling the ultimate dream of all cultivators. However, the heavens are not all that it seems, and his vow to raise his lover to the realms of immortality conflicts with the Jade Palace’s rules.

In the Middle Kingdom, the fracturing of an empire echoes across the kingdoms. As states rush to fill the power vacuum, war-weary armies march with little food, weakened by years of drought. Wu Ying’s mortal friends are caught in the middle of the conflict. As leaders among cultivators and within their sect, they must do what they can to hold the world together and carry on without their closest ally.

When chaos consumes the realms above and below, even the greatest cultivators must surrender to the winds of fate.

Immortal Connections is the first book in Celestial Cataclysms, the new epic xianxia fantasy series by Tao Wong. Taking place in the same world as A Thousand Li, it delves into realms old and new, making it perfect for longtime fans and first-time listeners alike.

Great

I love how long and detailed this one is it keeps the series going and it’s every bit what I wanted

New voice actor, prepare yourself

I’ve experienced this so much in my life and I’ve told myself it doesn’t matter but here I am I really appreciate the voice actor his inflections and soft tone fit the story it’s gonna take me a while to get used to the new voice actor

New Narrators Are Unfortunate

Like half the reviews I’ve seen here I’m not exactly thrilled to see a change in VA in what feels like book 13 of a series I’ve been following, but I can get over that as this is technically a new series. What I can’t get over is Tim’s choices or possibly the direction of a lot of character voices. Basically every demon and half of the women I struggled to understand and had to rewind a number of times to listen again to really focus to understand what was being said. I’ll likely switch away from the audiobooks for this series moving forward and just read the paperbacks.

missed Travis Baldree narrating. Bring him back!!!

The narrator was clearly an amateur comparatively speaking. It was hard to get through the book as a result.

Continue.

A good continuation to a thousand li, tieing up loose ends and creating more for the next book. I will listen to for the next book when it comes.
