Infinity Blade: Awakening is a science fiction and fantasy novel. It is the opening chapter in the Infinity Blade novel series which is written by Brandon Sanderson. He is a gifted American writer of science fiction and epic fantasy. The Cosmere fictional universe created by him became his identification. The majority of his fantasy novels belong to that exciting world. The Well of Ascension is one of his very best novels that you must look to try out. You will also be impressed with his writing in The Way of Kings.
The audio narration of this book is done by Samuel Roukin. The performer was seriously lacking the inflection in his voice for playing the female characters.
Siris, a young knight right since birth was trained in combat and swordplay. He made a journey with a single purpose to the Dark Citadel. His purpose was to fight with the Titans army to come up against the God-King in direct combat. This was the sacred mission of his father. It goes back many generations with the effort of freeing their people from enslavement.
But when Siris succeeded somehow wherever everybody else from the bloodline failed, then he discovered himself in the much bigger world. It was all filled with warriors and thieves. There was also the issue of shifting alliances and the ancient feuds. Then there were also the would-be kings and the deathless mortals. The quest for freedom for him would take over on an epic journey for finding a mythical figure that was known as the Worker of Secrets.
This book tells a short and fun story. A slightly better performance by the narrator especially with female voices could have made this novel a very special one in audio.
