Seven Surrenders

De: Ada Palmer

Narrado por: T. Ryder Smith

The second book of Terra Ignota, a political SF epic of extraordinary audacity

In a future of near-instantaneous global travel, of abundant provision for the needs of all, a future in which no one living can remember an actual war, a long era of stability threatens to come to an abrupt end.

For known only to a few, the leaders of the great Hives, nations without fixed location, have long conspired to keep the world stable, at the cost of just a little blood. A few secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction can ever dominate, and the balance holds. And yet the balance is beginning to give way.

Mycroft Canner, convict, sentenced to wander the globe in service to all, knows more about this conspiracy the than he can ever admit. Carlyle Foster, counselor, sensayer, has secrets as well, and they burden Carlyle beyond description. And both Mycroft and Carlyle are privy to the greatest secret of all: Bridger, the child who can bring inanimate objects to life.

Shot through with astonishing invention, Seven Surrenders is the next movement in one of the great SF epics of our time.

Great book, bad reading

This book is excellently written. However, the narrator made a lot of choices I think were quite poor. They made many of the characters talk very slowly and quietly, so that I had to replay sections very often to understand. The characters' vocal personalities also didn't match the previous book, or how I imagined the characters. I'd recommend listening to the dramatized version instead.

Absolutely incredible

I stumbled across this series from a booktuber and have been astounded from the first sentence. This is the book series I didn’t realize I was looking for until I found it. In this Ada Palmer has truly achieved something remarkable and I cannot wait to see how the rest of the series unfolds.

Complex Story Continues

The complexity of this series deserves a 're-read' at some point but the story line became more comprehensible and somewhat action packed in conclusion.
Smith is a great narrator handling the nuances and many characters a bit better than Mays (who is great also) in the first half.

A great follow up to Too Like the Lightning

A different reader was something to get used to but it is done very well.
The story itself reveals many of the mysteries put forth in the first book. You might actually want to reread the first book so can enjoy all background and reveals in Seven Surrenders.
Really looking forward to more books in this series no matter who reads it!

narrator of first book was better

narrator of first book was better, but the story is still good. waiting for book 4!
