About this listen
The second book of Terra Ignota, a political SF epic of extraordinary audacity
In a future of near-instantaneous global travel, of abundant provision for the needs of all, a future in which no one living can remember an actual war, a long era of stability threatens to come to an abrupt end.
For known only to a few, the leaders of the great Hives, nations without fixed location, have long conspired to keep the world stable, at the cost of just a little blood. A few secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction can ever dominate, and the balance holds. And yet the balance is beginning to give way.
Mycroft Canner, convict, sentenced to wander the globe in service to all, knows more about this conspiracy the than he can ever admit. Carlyle Foster, counselor, sensayer, has secrets as well, and they burden Carlyle beyond description. And both Mycroft and Carlyle are privy to the greatest secret of all: Bridger, the child who can bring inanimate objects to life.
Shot through with astonishing invention, Seven Surrenders is the next movement in one of the great SF epics of our time.

Fascinating but convoluted

Some very powerful concepts that hit hard emotionally and delve into realms that made me ponder upon deeper topic relevant today.
Grateful to Ada Palmer for both book 1 and 2.

not a fan if the performance though. The decision to give Bridger a lisp really bothered me. A lot of the accents weren't so great.
great book, mediocre performance

Good

but holy crap the narrator voices literally every character as if they are a sneering, overdramatic 80s Saturday morning cartoon villain, and the accents are just all over the place, seemingly chosen at random. Don't expect a character described as German to have anything approaching a German accent, theres Greeks with English accents and Middle Easterns with Russian accents. Even then I'd applaud the bravery of the odd creative choices if it wasn't for the fact that the narrator also changes their speaking volume and enunciation randomly throughout even the same sentence, making understanding the text at times genuinely difficult. Really missing the narrator from the first book.
