'Lyrical and spellbinding' -Marieke Njikamp, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author I would rather give a standard copy of the book a go rather than listen to bad audio.A TIME Magazine Top 100 Fantasy Book of All TimeĪ Barnes & Noble Teen Book Club Pick for 2019 I sounded like the re-recorded sections and the quality wasn’t the same, or it was a different narrator all together. I couldn’t make it past the first few minutes because the audio was horrible. Review 3: We Hunt the Flame – Sands of Arawiya Book 1 audiobook by Emma Stephens Audio Issues If there are no narrators who can pronounce Arabic can the narrators at least find out how the Arabic words are pronounced? But the mangling of every Arabic word is very annoying and detracts from the listening. Review 2: We Hunt the Flame – Sands of Arawiya Book 1 audiobook by Faiza Ambah Every Arabic word is mangled.Įxcellent and fresh and interesting story. But I did get a bit lost at times.Īs always, these 2 narrators were FANTASTIC! But there were some production issues where you could hear cuts and edits. I liked having them in the story, and for the most part, the context clues defined the terms.

I liked the setting but sometimes I wished I had the physical book because I got confused by some of the (Arabic?) terms that got casually tossed around and were pronounced differently by the 2 narrators. Maybe that’s a book 2 thing? It was a bit frustrating not knowing that. You never really find out what his motives are or why does the bad things he does. The author delivers on the tropes pretty well… That’s not necessarily bad if you like the tropes. The twists aren’t too surprising and once the characters are introduced, you kind of know their role in the story.

But if you’ve read Ember in the Ashes or Shadow & Bone, you’ve seen the characters and plots before. Let me start by saying I really enjoyed this book! I love a lot of the tropes she used.
