Red Sister audiobook – Books of the Ancestor, Book 1

In the tranquil moments of a lazy Sunday afternoon, I found myself immersed in the captivating world of Red Sister audiobook by Mark Lawrence. As I lay on my comfortable bed, surrounded by pillows and soft blankets, I was transported to a realm where secret societies and deadly combat were the norm.

The story introduces us to the Red Sister, a clandestine group that trains young girls in the art of combat. But this is no ordinary training; these girls become skilled assassins with unparalleled speed and precision. The training takes place in isolation, cutting them off from the outside world. It’s a harsh and demanding environment, but it molds them into lethal weapons.

Enter Nona Grey, an eight-year-old girl accused of murder. Despite the accusations against her, she remains determined to prove herself through action rather than words. Mark Lawrence has created a unique character in Nona Grey – a girl thrust into a strange environment where her skills are honed and she becomes a formidable warrior.

Throughout the book, we follow Nona’s journey as she navigates through secrets and mysteries surrounding her rare talents. The Red Sister’s school may have polished her abilities, but it hasn’t provided anything new; everything was already present within her.

Narrated by Helen Duff, this audiobook brings Lawrence’s vivid world to life with every word. Duff’s voice captures the essence of each character and adds depth to their emotions. Her narration keeps you engaged from start to finish.

Red Sister is just the beginning of an enthralling trilogy that includes Grey Sister and Holy Sister. If you’re a fan of science fiction and fantasy genres filled with action-packed scenes and intriguing plot twists, this audiobook is not to be missed.
