About this listen

The hotly anticipated epic and phenomenal West-African inspired finale to the New York Times best-selling fantasy Raybearer.

Earphones Award Winner

For the first time, an Empress Redemptor sits on Aritsar's throne. To appease the sinister spirits of the dead, Tarisai must now anoint a council of her own, coming into her full power as a Raybearer. She must then descend into the Underworld, a sacrifice to end all future atrocities.

Tarisai is determined to survive. Or at least, that's what she tells her increasingly distant circle of friends. Months into her shaky reign as empress, child spirits haunt her, demanding that she pay for past sins of the empire.

With the lives of her loved ones on the line, assassination attempts from unknown quarters, and a handsome new stranger she can't quite trust, Tarisai fears the pressure may consume her.

In this finale to the Raybearer duology, Tarisai must learn whether to die for justice...or to live for it.

Critic reviews

"Joniece Abbott-Pratt makes a triumphant return to narrate this thrilling sequel to Raybearer." (AudioFile Magazine)

I was really pleased to see the sequel to Raybearer was out on audiobook - I loved the previous book and was looking forward to devouring this book as quickly as that one. Unfortunately, they've changed the narrator from the previous book. The new narrator stumbles over many words, and the halting......line.......delivery really takes me out of the story. Such a shame, as it's taken me weeks to listen to an hour of it so far, when I listened to the previous book in a day due to the beautiful, gripping storyline. I'm not even sure I'll manage to finish this book, the narration is that bad.

Why did they change the narrator?!

The story as a whole is amazing. I missed the last narrator because she had voices for each character that I was used to and familiar with but this narrator tried her best. She was American, so it wasn’t completely fitting but she tried.

It’s worth a listen and I think that this book series is going to go into the lists of classics.

Once you get used to the narrator it’s great

I loved Raybearer and found it very original and surprising. unfortunately I felt a bit disappointed by Redempyor. I feel the story was mostly predictable, we did get a bit more world building and side character development but I would have expected way more from a second book. As a result it l lacked a bit of depth. I almost think Raybearer would have been fine as a standalone without the whole redemptor storyline I have to say.

still fun/enjoyable but didn't live up to Raybearer

The descriptions transport you to another world and time. Beautifully read. Sorry when it ended. “Do more!”

Captivating

I truly loved these books, but I really felt the loss of Weruche Opia in this one. I'm sure I wouldn't have felt it as much if Abbott-Pratt had narrated Raybearer, but the radical change of accent, dictation and pronunciations really left me wanting.

Great book, but dearly missed the old narrator!
