Prosperity

De: Alexis Hall

Narrado por: Nicholas Boulton

M'lady's name is Shadowless, cos she's the fastest ship in the sky. And she ain't no everyday airship, she's an aethership, meaning she don't need engines nor turbines nor nowt but an aethermancer and the stars t' guide her.

When luckless Dil falls half-dead onto the deck of the skyship Shadowless, he joins an outlaw crew haunted by visions of maelstrom. Driven by a ruthless captain, guided by a pilot with madness in her eyes, they hunt the power that holds up the clouds. Until it turns - to hunt them.

Came for the author, stayed for the narration

This is possibly my favorite performance of an audiobook of all time. Spot on dialect, seamless transitions between characters - I have never felt so completely immersed. The story and cast of characters will stay with me for a long time.

This was made for audio.

If a book could be said to be written for audio this would be that book. Alexis Hall is a master of language, and often incorporates dialects into his books, but his use of Cant in this book, and series, takes it to a different level.

Read this book because it, like all of his books, is beautiful, and so well-written that I am amazed at his talent and skill.

Listen to this book because the true magic of his words can be fully appreciated when heard spoken by the outstanding narrator.

Completely, and without any reservation, recommended.

So incredibly fun and enthralling

I honestly don't know when I've enjoyed listening to a book this much. It is immensely entertaining and hilarious and full of feeling and just so SO fantastic. I was grinning and laughing out loud and on the verge of tears as I was listening and completely immersed in the story the entire time. The narrator is wonderful and the writing is incredible. I only finished it a week ago and I'm already re-listening (after reading the e-books of the other books set in this world). One of my all time favorite audiobooks without question.

Fantastically fun! Nicolas Bolton- brilliant

This was one of the most fun audio books I’ve listened to in a awhile. Bolton’s voice, characters and performance brings all of the players to brilliant life. I loved it and am quite sad that the next 2 books in this universe are out as audio books. Be aware- adult themes and language.

Home on Shadowless

Ive read almost every book Alexis Hall has written, and this book caught me off guard with its originality and its beauty. I fell in love with many of the characters instantly. Alexis Hall has a way of writing characters who you want to befriend and protect—and the characters in Prosperity are no different. And Shadowless? The beautiful ethership captained by Byron Kae? How do I join the crew?
