About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Shiang by C. F. Iggulden, read by Daniel Weyman.

IF THESE STONES COULD SPEAK, THEY WOULD CALL FOR WAR.

In Shiang, the young king rules without dissent. Mazer swordsmen stand watch on every corner, looking for the first sign of rebellion. This city is a place of quiet and slow dignity, like a man eating rice with a razor pressed against his throat. Yet with one sharp movement, order is overturned. The balance of centuries is undone in the sudden spill of blood - and in the darkness, something terrible returns to Shiang.

Far to the west, four Shiang masters approach the city walls of Darien. The sword saint and his companions have crossed a continent to bring an old man home for punishment. They will not be denied, even if the whole city stands in their way.

TWO ANCIENT CITIES. ONE FINAL WAR.

This story is full of well-developed characters and the plot is sufficiently complex to hold the interest. The narrator is excellent.

An excellent adventure!

I can think of no higher praise than to say this series has strong echoes of David Gemmell’s Shannow and Drenai series.

Fantastic new heroic fantasy

I like the continuation from the first book although this one was a lot more fast pase.

Great

It’s not very often the 2nd book of a trilogy out performs the first but Shaing bucks the trend.
An absolute masterpiece of a tale that will have you gripped from the beginning to the last word uttered. Wow!

Iggulden has found his feet with this sequel, colourful characters both new and returning make for great reading. The lore is also billed out somewhat, making the world even more intriguing. I’m definitely looking forward to book 3!

Brilliant sequel

This author does factual historical fiction stories brilliantly but when he gets to writing pure fiction the results are astonishing.

The plot is great but the characters are so good you invest emotion into their part in the book.

Sad I’ve finished it really.

Sublime

Now I’m eager to get the next one in the series.
