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.

A fiction that makes you think and surprises you
I love Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota and this second book didn’t disappoint! Makes you think about everything and made me want to read Voltaire, Rousseau and Sade.

Not really sci fi imo
Cleverly written and lovely narration but I found it very boring. I made it to midway of book two but it wasn't for me unfortunately. Just my opinion obviously.

Fascinating but convoluted
At times this is hard going. I think I will need to re listen to both books to fully appreciate everything. The fact I am willing to do this is testament to how mind bending these novels are.

awesome book, but I didn't like the performance
I wish that they used the previous narrator for the rest of the series

great book, mediocre performance
Excellent novel. I just finished and am weeping real tears. Wonderful characters, exciting plot, possibly the best worl building I have ever seen.
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.

Good
Meanders in places but a solid story overall, I'll keep listening to the series. The narrator was alright over all, got the job done with some flashes of excellence but weird inconsistencies.

Wild Ride
Great books worth revisting! Palmer does an amazing job weaving an incredibly dense and complicated plot and making use of every square inch of dialogue to engage in world building and characterization. It's a very impressive work of fiction. It takes a whiiiile to get into but I think it really pays off :)
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.
