Dawnshard Audiobook – The Stormlight Archive, Book 3.5

As the sun began to set on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I found myself nestled in the cozy corner of my living room, wrapped in a soft blanket, completely engrossed in the world of Dawnshard Audiobook from The Stormlight Archive series. With the gentle hum of my favorite instrumental music playing in the background, I embarked on a journey filled with intrigue and mystery.

Brandon Sanderson’s novella introduces us to Rysn Ftori, a character often overshadowed by larger-than-life personalities in the Stormlight Archive universe. Her struggles with disability and her unique bond with Chiri-Chiri, the enigmatic larkin, added layers of depth to her character that I found both touching and inspiring. However, I must admit that for a significant portion of the book, it felt like a slow burn as we witnessed Rysn navigating her new reality on a boat. The lack of external events unfolding made it challenging to stay fully engaged.

The narration by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer was impeccable, capturing the essence of each character with finesse. Their voices breathed life into Sanderson’s intricate world, making every moment feel vivid and real. Despite my reservations about the pacing of the story, their delivery kept me hooked till the end.
