The Sword of Shannara Audiobook Free by Terry Brooks
The Sword of Shannara Audiobook is an epic fantasy novel by American writer Terry Brooks. It is the first book of the Original Shannara Trilogy, followed by The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara.
The entire series is excellent however the this book is what originally roped me in. It will unlock your imagination and you feel for the characters. You feel as though you are in the story.
Plot Summary
Long ago, the world of the Four Lands was torn apart by the wars of ancient Evil. But in the Vale, the half-human, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford now lives in peace – until the mysterious, forbidding figure of the druid Allanon appears, to reveal that the supposedly long-dead Warlock Lord lives again.
Shea must embark upon the elemental quest to find the only weapon powerful enough to keep the creatures of darkness at bay: the fabled Sword of Shannara.
Audiobook Review
I know Terry Brooks himself has said the Lord of the Rings influenced him however I find his books more entertaining and easier to read. There is a lot of snobbery in the fantasy readers world, of course, there are similarities to Lord of the Rings as there are with many others.
Sword of Shannara Audiobook Mp3 is what I like to see in a fantasy novel. This has everything that makes the genre so appealing to me. It’s got a diverse set of races and cultural systems; it’s got both great darkness and profound good. But, most importantly, it’s got history.
Brooks develops each member of the fellowship individually, allowing you to get to know them as people outside of this life-altering and earth-shattering quest. The intertwining storylines of the characters, all heading towards the same basic end goal, was complexly compelling. Not only did it keep the plot moving but it also let me get to know everyone in their own manner.
I’d would recommend this book. And now, I’m about to start the Elfstones of Shannara.

“Dude! It finally came!” My roommate barely withheld his excitement as he barreled into the living room of our apartment with a package in his hand. “Check it out, Jacob.” He smiled as he tore at the brown paper surrounding his purchase.
As he ripped the covering off the package, bits and pieces scattered all across the floor of the living room like confetti. For a second, I thought about lecturing Todd about not making a mess of our apartment, but who was I kidding? This place was already a shithole. At least some half-assed confetti would make it feel a little livelier.
My roommate was your stereotypical stoner archetype. Seriously, he looked like he belonged in a hippie van solving mysteries with a Great Dane. Todd’s long, blond hair was always greasy and unkempt, and the smell of the sweet leaf reeked off him so frequently that most people just assumed he was using a hemp-laced cologne.
To top off his look, Todd wore a bit of scruff on his chin in the shape of a rough soul patch, as well as a t-shirt with the logo of whatever old-school rock band or metal band that he was currently listening to.

Reviews:
This is still giving me a sore jaw with the smile stuck on my face the whole time as I listen to the antics of Jake and Todd and the harem of Succubi. The demonic/angelic fights, the succubus sex and Jake continuing to increase in power is a great story.
As with the other audiobooks in this series, the action is near-constant and there’s a healthy dose of NSFW as well. If you like this genre, I feel confident you will enjoy this as well.
Narration is particularly good, having a male/female duo works so well! Each is great on their own but paired together. It’s awesome!

If you like his writing, this will not disappoint. He follows his known pattern of interaction with his succubus his devil imp buddy Todd, and his need to recreate the circle of sin.

Jacob and his band of succubi have made it to the Fourth Circle of Hell, but that was the easy part.
In order to defeat Azazel on his own home turf, Jacob will need to hone his powers and level up before he takes on the Demon Lord of War.
And what better way to do that than competing in demonic jousts, going head to head with the dragon Leviathan, and giving the Circle’s most renowned pirate a run for his money?
The throne is so close, and Jake’s going to do whatever it takes to seize it.
Reviews:
Don’t stop with this story. It’s great with great characters. I like the story to continue. There is so much to the story. Still, have the trail, get back to earth realm, and many more demon lords and queens to go up against.
The sex scenes are not once every 20-30 pages, and they make sense in the world Eric has set up for us to enjoy. Loved Eligor and what I imagine as a comic book Red Sonya style of bikini armor. Too bad, you didn’t have her on your cover.

Jacob and his succubi have defeated Azazel, and now Jacob is the demon king of the Fourth Circle. But that doesn’t mean the war’s over yet.
Now that he’s king, Jake has to figure out how to rule in hell, keep from being stabbed in the back by the other demon lords and kings, and somehow, stay under Lucifer’s radar.
There’s no rest for the wicked, and certainly, no rest for a Succubus king.
Reviews:
It’s a great addition to the series with the usual humor and sex but Eric Valls excessive use of the phrase “and then” slows the book down and reduces the readability.
Eric Vall is one of the most talented and skilled authors I enjoy his work greatly. And this book is no different also with the voice acting talents and skills of Christopher Boucher and Jessica Threet that makes the characters and world come alive with there narration.

Dungeon Master is a horror audiobook collection by author Éric Vall. This series includes 5 books. I have listened to several of Eric Vall’s books and presumed that this would be similar to others. I was wrong. Well written and organized.
A nice young adult novel, the main character felt real to me. The girls he got to know are funny and engaging! The story so far is about enacting change in the magic profession called summoning. The elitist mages think they are hot shit compared to normal people, but everyone is equal in a fight and death.
The characters develop nicely and some of the world-building is shown to a better degree. I find the MC interesting and I like the approach. I was hoping for more sex appeal in this book though. While there was a little more flirting and one particularly hilarious sexual teasing scene there was still only one sex scene. Mega bummer.

Metro 2035 Audiobook Online Streaming (English version)
Metro 2035 Audiobook (Russian: Метро 2035) is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel in the Metro series by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. Originally published in 2015, it is a sequel to Glukhovsky’s earlier audiobooks Metro 2033 and Metro 2034.
The final installment in the Metro series not only lives up to its name, but also takes it to a different level.
Plot Summary
World War Three wiped out the humankind. The planet is empty now. Huge cities became dust and ashes. Railroads are being eaten by rust. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits. Radio is mute on all frequencies. The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city.
It’s there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world’s largest air-raid shelter, where now people try to outlive the end of days. It’s there that they created a new world for themselves. The stations of the Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies, are fighting for now-scarce commodities: air, water, and space.
This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of. It’s been 20 years since Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had. But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. His name is Artyom. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface.
And he will.
Audiobook Review
Amazing listening! Fantastic narration, an incredible literary universe, I just wish the ending was a little more dramatic to finish the series. Being a huge fan of the video games and now the books I am fully invested in this world and it’s characters and its a real shame to say goodbye to it but this was a good end to something great and with the prequel video game coming out soon to end the series completely I can’t wait.
You can see the shift from the first book to the second, it’s slightly more critical, less fantastic, but it still keeps some fantasy elements, but here, here we dwell on something even way more important, this is a book about the psychology of the inhabitants of the Metro, about the Politics that rule it, and above all, a harsh criticism against the established system.
Metro 2035 Audiobook Mp3 is the end of a series that has had its highs and lows from the amazing beginning to the meh middle to this the outstanding ending which was more than I could have wished for so many threads were closed and ended properly and in the end, I felt fulfilled with the story.

Metro 2034 Audiobook is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel in the Metro series, written by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky as a sequel to his earlier Metro 2033.
Unlike Metro 2033, which follows the accounts of Artyom, this book is told in the first person from about 4 different characters (Hunter, Homer, Sasha, and Artyom (for a very small portion)).
Plot Summary
The Metro books have put Dmitry Glukhovsky in the vanguard of Russian speculative fiction alongside the creator of Night Watch, Sergei Lukyanenko.
A year after the events of Metro 2033, the last few survivors of the apocalypse, surrounded by mutants and monsters, face a terrifying new danger as they hang on for survival in the tunnels of the Moscow Metro.
Featuring blistering action, vivid and tough characters, claustrophobic tension and dark satire, the Metro books have become bestsellers across Europe.
Audiobook Review
Metro 2034 Audiobook Mp3 is a romance that althrought it is a apocaliptycal so a phictional one it tries to reflect some life aspects with all it’s blurs.
It doesn’t lack of dramatic moments or some action moments. Metro is about a certain degree of liberty that the various authors of metro universe permit themselves for the simple reason that the same recipe all and all over again bores metro is about experimenting continuing to describe the life nonfree life that people live in the Russian metro.
Just like in the first novel, Rupert Degas does a fantastic job of narrating the audiobook. He does a different sounding Russian accent for every character you come across in the book. The story wasn’t the greatest, but the performance of Rupert Degas is some of the best I’ve ever heard of any audiobook I’ve ever listened to.

Metro 2033 Audiobook Online Streaming (English version)
Metro 2033 Audiobook (Russian: Метро 2033) is a post-apocalyptic fiction novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It is set within the Moscow Metro, where the last survivors hide after a global nuclear holocaust.
Plot Summary
The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble. Humanity is nearly extinct and the half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind, but the last remains of civilization have already become a distant memory.
Man has handed over stewardship of the Earth to new life-forms. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on Earth, living in the Moscow Metro – the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters, or the need to repulse an enemy incursion.
VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line, one of the Metro’s best stations and secure. But a new and terrible threat has appeared. Artyom, a young man living in VDNKh, is given the task of penetrating to the heart of the Metro to alert everyone to the danger and to get help. He holds the future of his station in his hands, the whole Metro – and maybe the whole of humanity.
Audiobook Review
Metro 2033 Audiobook Mp3 is very much a Russian tale with everything that implies. Post-nuclear survival tale within the metro tunnels, humanity becoming Morlocks and strange flying creatures preventing any egress.
Overall I am glad that I listened to this book. There were some points when I was second-guessing my selection and not enjoying the story due to some elements of the writing. As an example, the author at times rambles off into characters’ daydreams or deeper thoughts, which, while interesting, are not always particularly consistent or believable for the character in question.
There is one brief sortie to the surface that becomes an adrenalyn-packed nightmare. I never realized that you can read a book through your fingers as you wait for the horrors to leap out from the ruins and the dark.
Finally, I’d recommend this for fans of extremely well-developed post-apocalypse literature with a huge serving of what classic Russian literature is known for: shovels and ideas.

Lady Smoke Audiobook Online Streaming (Ash Princess Trilogy #2)
Lady Smoke is the second audiobook in Ash Princess Trilogy by best-seller author Laura Sebastian. It is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.
This book picks up right where Ash Princess left off. Theo is trying to get everything in order on her travels with Dragons-bane and her fleet. They are all looking for allies to take down the Kaiser and Cress.
Plot Summary
The Kaiser murdered Theodosia’s mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo’s country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princess – a pet to toy with and humiliate for 10 long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn’t realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon.
Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostage – Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser’s rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne.
To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done.
Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself.
About the Author
Laura Sebastian was born and raised in South Florida (the Redlands and Key Largo) and has always loved telling stories – many apologies to her little brother who often got in trouble because of them. No copies of her first book, a Cinderella retelling about angels circa 2nd grade, remain. Thankfully.
When Laura isn’t writing, she’s probably reading, baking cookies or cupcakes, buying more clothes than her overstuffed closet can fit, or forcing her lazy dog Neville to take a walk.
Her debut Ash Princess, the start of a YA fantasy trilogy, published on April 24th, 2018 from Delacorte (Random House).
Audiobook Review
This audiobook has exceeded my expectations. Usually, in a trilogy, there’s always the chance where the second book suffers from Second Book Syndrome. This one is slower than the first but I think that’s due to world-building and answering questions from the first book.
To me, Lady Smoke Audiobook Mp3 was a pretty damn good installment to the Ash Princess trilogy. It’s not perfect, but the story and Theo do make up for it by showing us what Theo has to do in harsh times as well as diving into how cruel the world can be. Readers will grow more attached to the characters in this one than they were in the first, but a couple of things were predictable. However, the predictability did not take anything away from the story or the enjoyment of the story. Just a very good sequel and that ending.
Would recommend for girls and young women ages 16+ due to the amount of violence and some mild references to rape/sexual abuse. Contains mild swearing but it was pretty scarce (in case anyone is triggered or doesn’t like the occasional, but rare, cursing). I’m really looking forward to the final audiobook – Ember Queen.
Laura Sebastian – Lady Smoke is now available in audible format, mp3 is about 13 hrs and 29 mins long, yet the narration by Saskia Maarleveld is so enticing that you get hooked instantly and keep you up the whole way listening!
Ash Princess was skillfully audiobook by Laura Sebastian and the first audiobook in the Ash Princess Trilogy.
“Made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir” (Bustle), Ash Princess is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people.
Plot Summary
Theodosia was six when her country was invaded and her mother, the Fire Queen, was murdered before her eyes. On that day, the Kaiser took Theodosia’s family, her land, and her name. Theo was crowned Ash Princess – a title of shame to bear in her new life as a prisoner.
For 10 years Theo has been a captive in her own palace. She’s endured the relentless abuse and ridicule of the Kaiser and his court. She is powerless, surviving in her new world only by burying the girl she was deep inside.
Then, one night, the Kaiser forces her to do the unthinkable. With blood on her hands and all hope of reclaiming her throne lost, she realizes that surviving is no longer enough. But she does have a weapon: her mind is sharper than any sword. And power isn’t always won on the battlefield.
For 10 years, the Ash Princess has seen her land pillaged and her people enslaved. That all ends here.
Audiobook Review
Ash Princess Audiobook Mp3 of Laura Sebastian is everything I wanted. What a fantastic debut. I loved this so much, I want to re-listen to it and experience all the feels all over again. The world building was beautiful but we didn’t get to see as much of the world as I would hope. It was just so addicting and I was unable to put this down.
Theo is everything you want in a heroine: determined, gritty, clever, ready to do whatever it takes to help not just herself and her friends but her people. It is incredible watching her journey as she first must believe in herself then rise to the occasion. And the surprises! Just when you think you know what might happen, the book throws in a new twist. The ending is a high-stakes, amazing stunner. And Blaise, Soren, Cress, Artemesia, Heron -these are characters you will fall in love with and want to read about again and again.
Although love triangles aren’t really my thing this one felt a bit different because you know who she should pick but you can’t help but love the other guy as well.
I just wish I had the pleasure of listening to Ash Princess for the first time all over again. I cannot wait for the second audiobook in the series!

Surviving Solitude in the I Am Legend Audiobook: A Lonesome Odyssey
In the realm of audiobooks, there lies an experience that transforms solitary commutes into a rendezvous with isolation’s deepest echoes. As I pressed play on Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend audiobook, narrated by the adept Robertson Dean, I found myself embarking on a journey through desolation and despair, yet oddly, one that was intimately human.
The narrative prelude of this tale sets us alongside Robert Neville, the last uninfected man in a world overrun by vampiric beings. The book’s title, I Am Legend, holds a mirror to our protagonist’s existence – legendary not for his heroics but for his mere persistence in a reality where humanity has dwindled to a singular form.
Robertson Dean’s voice is a vessel that carries us through the story’s atmospheric dread and Neville’s mental labyrinth. His timbre is a fitting match for the story’s gravity, grounding us in the grim reality Matheson has crafted. Dean’s narration doesn’t just tell a story; it breathes life into Neville’s internal turmoil, each word laden with the weight of solitude.
As Neville fortifies his home against nightly horrors and ventures out by day in search of answers and supplies, we’re treated to an introspective study of what it means to be human when all humanity is lost. Matheson’s writing is both stark and intricate, capturing the essence of survival amidst hopelessness. The scenes where Neville interacts with his dog are poignant reminders of our innate need for companionship.
The true mastery of this audiobook lies in its ability to immerse you within Neville’s solitude. You feel his despair when dusk approaches, his heart pounding as darkness brings forth creatures thirsting for his blood. Yet you also share in his scientific curiosity and determination to understand the plague that has beset mankind.
Dean’s portrayal is exceptional when voicing Neville’s encounters with the vampires. The tension is palpable; each moment feels like a dance with death itself. But what haunts you more than the prospect of being hunted is Neville’s crushing loneliness – a sentiment Dean conveys with such authenticity that it lingers long after you’ve paused the audiobook.
The emotional landscape of I Am Legend is as desolate as its setting, yet there are moments where hope flickers like a candle in the wind – a testament to Matheson’s ability to weave complexity into his narrative. This isn’t just about survival; it’s about finding meaning in existence when all seems meaningless.
While this odyssey might be solitary for Neville, listeners can find solace at Audiobooks4soul.com where they can download this gripping audiobook freely and join him on his quest for understanding and perhaps redemption.
As I closed my eyes at the end of I Am Legend, I was left contemplating our own societal fragility and resilience. This audiobook doesn’t just recount one man’s struggle against supernatural forces; it challenges us to consider our response to utter desolation – would we crumble or would we become legends in our own right?
It’s this reflection that makes I Am Legend resonate so profoundly – it isn’t merely an audiobook; it’s an existential exploration narrated masterfully by Robertson Dean. The experience transcends entertainment; it becomes a companion piece to one’s contemplations on life and isolation.
Looking forward now, I find myself eager for my next auditory expedition into worlds unknown or familiar terrains cast in new lights. Whatever may come, I invite you all to join me on these journeys through pages turned into soundscapes. Happy listening – and until next time, remember: even when we are alone, stories remind us we are connected through shared human experiences.

Auggie & Me Audiobook Review
Wonder was just amazing and I’m so so glad for those three additional chapters/stories. R. J. Palacio is a gemstone, honestly.
Auggie & Me Audiobook: Three Wonder Stories are an extra peek at Auggie before he started at Beecher Prep and during his first year there. Readers get to see him through the eyes of Julian, the bully; Christopher, Auggie’s oldest friend; and Charlotte, Auggie’s new friend at school. Together, these three stories are a treasure for readers who don’t want to leave Auggie behind when they finish Wonder.
A different narrator performs each of three companion stories to Palacio’s beloved book, Wonder. Mike Chamberlain gives the most affecting performance in the first story… Funny, moving, and true to middle school, this production is worth repeat listening.
R J Palacio – Auggie & Me is now available in audible format, mp3 is about 8 hrs and 1 min long, yet the narration by Michael Chamberlain, Scott Merriman, Taylor Ann Krahn, R. J. Palacio is so enticing that you get hooked instantly and keep you up the whole way listening!

The Julian Chapter Audiobook
Auggie & Me – The Julian Chapter Audiobook Free
By: R.J. Palacio Series: Wonder, Book 1.5 Narrated by: Michael Chamberlain Length: 2 hrs and 34 mins
Over one million people have read or listened to and loved Wonder. Now listeners will have a chance to hear from one of the book’s most controversial characters – Julian.
From the very first day, Auggie and Julian met in the number-one New York Times bestseller Wonder, it was clear they were never going to be friends, with Julian treating Auggie like he had the plague. And while Wonder told Auggie’s story through six different viewpoints, Julian’s perspective was never shared. Fans could only guess what he was thinking.
Until now. The Julian Chapter will finally reveal the bully’s side of the story. Why is Julian so unkind to Auggie? And does he have a chance for redemption?
Pluto Audiobook
Auggie & Me – Pluto Audiobook Free
By: R.J. Palacio Series: Wonder, Book 1.6 Narrated by: Scott Merriman Length: 2 hrs and 8 mins
Last year listeners were given a special look at another side of his story with The Julian Chapter, and now they’ll get a peek at Auggie’s life before Beecher Prep with an exclusive new short story told entirely from the point of view of Christopher, Auggie’s oldest friend.
Christopher was Auggie’s best friend from the time they were babies until his family moved away; he was there through all of Auggie’s surgeries and heartbreaks, through bad times and good – like Star Wars marathons and dreams of traveling to Pluto together.
Alternating between childhood flashbacks and the present day, an especially bad day for Christopher, Pluto is the story of two boys grown apart learning that good friendships are worth a little extra effort.
Shingaling Audiobook
Auggie & Me – Shingaling Audiobook Free
By: R.J. Palacio Series: Wonder, Book 1.7 Narrated by: Taylor Ann Krahn Length: 3 hrs and 8 mins
Listeners have also been given a special look at another side of Auggie’s story with The Julian Chapter and a peek at his life before Beecher Prep in Pluto. In Shingaling, the third Wonder Story, they’ll listen about life as a fifth grader at Beecher Prep through the eyes of Charlotte, the girl who had been chosen to be Auggie’s “welcome” buddy.
Listeners will not only learn more about Charlotte and her budding friendship with fan-favorite, Summer (they solve a mystery together), but how the girls at Beecher Prep react to Auggie attending their school for the first time, and how Charlotte came to write the precept she used at the end of Wonder, “It’s not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend.”
