Summary
Heirs of the Blade is the seventh book in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
The greatest foe is the enemy within....
Tynisa is on the run, but she cannot escape the demons of her own mind. Amidst the fragmenting provinces of the Dragonfly Commonweal, her past will at last catch up with her. Her father's ghost is hunting her down.
At the same time, the Wasp Empire seeks to conquer the city of Khanaphes, the fallen jewel of the ancient world. Whilst Empress Seda's soldiers seek only conquest and prestige, she sees herself as the heir to all the old powers of history, and has her eyes on a far greater prize.
Heirs of the Blade is followed by the eighth book in the Shadows of the Apt series, The Air War.

great story brilliantly read
I was hoping to only need to write the headline as this is a comment that could be written for all of these books and Ben Allen. I can't get enough. It is just a pity I can only get 1 book a month!

Return to form…
I found The Sea Watch to be the weakest of the series, although it was still pretty good. This was much better. Excellent character development, brilliant narration and beautiful sound design. Devoured it in four days and will move straight to the next. I really hope we get back to more internal Empire politics although that is touched on in this.

Better than the previous
I felt bored after reading the seawatch book previously. I wasn't a big fan of the story going underwater and such.
Heir Of The Blade was a better improvement following the story on land again and into the vast state of the Commonwheel. Was good listing to Ben as usual, a masterclass performance as per.
Looking forward to the next one with the ending of this book. Looks like things are starting to heat up again between the empire and the lowlands again.

Edge of your seat stuff
I hesitated as to whether or not I could write this review. I have praised this author‘s work many times and this series as well. Each novel improves on the last it’s getting tiring to say that, but it’s true. This was one of the few times an audiobook had me literally on the edge of my seat in excitement, for what was happening and that’s amazing.

A POWERFUL Imaginary World
7 big books and the characters are still developing in surprising ways. The authors never repeats himself. Although the epic scale battles can get a little ‘hammer n tongs’ tiresome with each successive one, there is always a delicious twist and hook to keep our own interest.
The narrator is perfect.
