Book description
City of Stairs: A Symphony of Ruins
Listen closely-can you hear the echoes of fallen gods?
Robert Jackson Bennett doesn't just write fantasy; he conducts orchestras of the impossible. City of Stairs isn't merely an audiobook-it's an audible descent into a world where divine blood has soaked through cobblestones and miracles have fossilized into architecture.
Shara Thivani walks a tightrope between diplomat and spy, her voice cutting through the static of political intrigue like a blade through silk. But it's her companion Sigrud who steals every scene-this "secretary" isn't just terrifying; he's a force of nature wrapped in human skin, speaking destruction in hushed tones that somehow carry more weight than thunder.
The city of Bulikov breathes through your earbuds. Bennett's prose doesn't just describe a place where gods once walked-it makes you feel the weight of their absence. Every street corner whispers of miracles that reshaped reality itself, now crumbling into something more dangerous than memory.
This isn't your grandmother's fantasy epic. The dead gods? They're not staying dead. The buried histories? They're clawing their way back to the surface with fingernails made of ancient power. And Shara? She's about to discover that some conspiracies are big enough to swallow entire civilizations.
Bennett's voice-both literally and figuratively-carries the weight of awards and accolades, but none of that prepares you for the gut punch of realizing that the most terrifying thing about this broken city isn't what died there.
It's what's still alive.
City of Stairs doesn't just deserve your attention-it demands it. Put on your headphones and let the divine madness in.
