Fourth Wing (Part 1 of 2) (Dramatized Adaptation): The Empyrean, Book 1 Audible Audiobook – Original recording


Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

I have read and listened to Audible's (dramatized edition) Fourth Wing (Part 1 of 2) and The Empyrean, Book 1. I am new to Fantasy-Romance science fiction books. I love the storyline and hook of Rebecca Yarros’s books. This Audible listen is fabulous and engaging. An entire cast narrates it, and it doesn’t make you cringe at their voices. I will continue to listen and read these books!

Don’t get me wrong, I adore dramatized audiobooks. I love a full cast, music that adds to the suspense, background noises (especially in a space fight, check out the Illuminae Files series, it’s so good). But something about this one is just too much. From the start, all the footsteps, heavy breathing, it’s very distracting from the story. I don’t need to hear every single sound that goes on. Some background noise, highlighting certain things, is great. This is just way too much. And the music choices did not seem to fit the circumstances. Admittedly I did not listen to the whole thing, so I do not know how the cast did.

This dramatized audiobook is just not it for me. I’ll stick with the regular audiobook for this one.

This was such an entertaining way to read this book. I listened to the graphic audio while also reading the hardcover and it made my experience so much better. I loved the voices for all of the characters. I felt it made the characters come to life and sound more real. One of my favorite audiobooks by far.

I loved this! I loved the regular book when I read it. I wanted to do the audio to get the names right. I found this audio book to be so entertaining. I loved that it was almost like listening to a movie sometimes. The book is amaizng regardless but I do recommend the darmatized adpatation of Fourth Wing Part 1.
