A gift for those of you who prefer audiobooks over print.
Now the dulcet tones of the inimitable Simon Vance:
You can pre-order all 39 hours and 4 minutes of this aural bliss from Hachette Audio or Audible.
Also, just so you know, we’re going to have a fun little treat to share with everyone every Monday – Friday for the rest of October. Stay tuned for more Lightbringer goodness!
Thanks to the formidable skills of our audiobook narrator and multi-Audie-winner Simon Vance, we now have an audio guide for all the new characters and new terms in The Blood Mirror! Click the links below to get the official pronunciation of all those crazy terms you’ve been wondering about!
The Blood Mirror: New Character Names
The Blood Mirror: Glossary of New Terms
And if you missed The Broken Eye Character List and Glossary, you can find the complete Audio Guide HERE.
Congrats and thank you to Simon Vance, the talented narrator of The Lightbringer Series. He’s up for a potential 14th win with his narration of The Black Prism. So delighted to be in the company of Brandon Sanderson, Richard Kadrey, Drew Magary, and Naomi Novik!
You know what’s irritating about fantasy novels? All those names and terms. Just how the heck do you say “Gra’knagr’aknag’arth*”? Well, I’m here for you.
To celebrate our website relaunch — ooh, pretty colors! — we’re also launching an Audio Guide. Go to THIS page, click on any term, and hear multi-Audie Award winner Simon Vance pronounce each of the names and terms in The Lightbringer Series. Simon is also the narrator for The Blinding Knife and The Broken Eye (available in Audio HERE).
Note that each list has one term at the top in big font, i.e. the A-B Glossary has “ABAYA” at the top. You don’t have to listen to every term from “Abaya” to “Burnous” in order to hear the pronunciation of “Burnous”. Just click directly on “Burnous”. This is a limitation of Soundcloud.
The eagle-eyed among you might notice we have some other things in store for the future. We’ll announce those as soon as we can!
(Also, new poll!)
*Not a real name
You can now pre-order the audiobook of The Broken Eye in the U.S. through Audible.com! As with The Blinding Knife, the multi-everything award-winning Simon Vance is narrating. (How good is he? Neil Gaiman calls him “the gold standard of narrators”.)
