About this listen
Red Sonja, the iconic, fiery, she-devil with a sword, is reinvented for a new generation in this action-packed epic fantasy by legendary comic book writer Gail Simone.
The gutsy, wild, tortured free spirit, forged in pain yet unafraid of life or death, Red Sonja, the famous, fiery She-Devil and barbarian of Hyrkania has never concerned herself with the consequences of her actions. She’s taken what she wanted, from treasure to drink to the companionship of bedfellows. She’s fought who deserved it (and sometimes those who didn’t). And she’s never looked back.
But when rumors start bubbling up from her homeland—rumors of unknown horrors emerging from the ground and pulling their unsuspecting victims to their deaths—and a strange voice begins whispering to her in her sleep, she realizes she may have to return to the country that abandoned her. And finally do the only thing that has ever scared her: confront her past.

In Conan and the Emerald Lotus, the seeds of a deadly plant grant sorcerers immense power, but turn its users into inhuman killers. In the exclusive, long-awaited sequel Conan and the Living Plague, a Shemite wizard seeks to create a serum to use as a lethal weapon. Instead he unleashes a hideous monster on the city of Dulcine. Hired to loot the city of its treasures, Conan and his fellows in the mercenary troop find themselves trapped in the depths of the city’s keep. To escape, they must defeat the creature, its undead followers, then face Lovecraftian horrors beyond mortal comprehension.

Lukan Gardova is a cardsharp, academy dropout, and—thanks to a duel that ended badly—the disgraced heir to an ancient noble house. His days consist of cheap wine, rigged card games, and wondering how he might win back the life he threw away. When Lukan discovers that his estranged father has been murdered in strange circumstances, he finds fresh purpose. Deprived of his chance to make amends for his mistakes, he vows to unravel the mystery behind his father's death. His search for answers leads him to Saphrona, fabled city of merchant princes, where anything can be bought if one has the coin.

Story
Gods are not meant to die. They're supposed to be immortal, too powerful to be struck down or wither to dust like the people of Golarion. It has been more than a century since Aroden, god of humanity, met his mysterious doom, and his death ushered in a new era of uncertain prophecy and turmoil—the Age of Lost Omens. Now another god has died, his death broadcast across the skies in a metaphysical projection of his murder reverberating over any world on which he was worshipped. And from his rent corpse falls the Godsrain, a torrent of the god's blood and divine essence.

No successor was named as Guardian, no one took up the fallen blade; the West Passage went unguarded. Now, snow blankets Grey in the height of summer. Rats erupt from beneath the earth, fleeing that which comes. Crops fail. Hunger looms. And none stand ready to face the Beast, stirring beneath the poisoned soil. The fate of all who live in the palace hangs on narrow shoulders.

Cordelia knows her mother is . . . unusual. Their house doesn’t have any doors between rooms—there are no secrets in this house—and her mother doesn't allow Cordelia to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him. But more than simple eccentricity sets her mother apart. Other mothers don’t force their daughters to be silent and motionless for hours, sometimes days, on end. Other mothers aren’t sorcerers.

Critic reviews
—Joe Hill, author of The Fireman
“Veteran comics writer Simone’s triumphant debut novel … quickly immerses readers in a lush fantasy world. … Simone leavens the frequent violence with humor and makes her heroine feel simultaneously larger-than-life and deeply human. The result is an exciting new chapter for a cult-favorite character.”

A confession
I greatly enjoy Gail Simone's superhero comics work. I always drop her name when someone asks me "who are your favorite writers?" But I have never read any of her Red Sonja comics, and that is clearly a failing on my part. This novel is incredible, showing a depth of love for a character that has been largely maligned or reduced to sexy lamp status. Mix Simone's stellar storytelling with Felicia Day's brilliant narration, and you have a combination that is not to be missed. You owe it to yourself to listen to this tale. You will not be sorry you did.

Fun Story great Narration
I’m a Gail Simone fan and she delivers a fun story with humor and drama. Felicia Day does a great job narrating the story (I wasn’t sure how great her Sonja voice would be but she does a wonderful job)

Exciting tale with outstanding narration.
Gail Simone's Red Sonja comics were a treat, a high point in the character's history. This book continues that tradition. It has an exciting plot, deep and colorful characterizations, and a lush setting. Felicia Day's performance makes it nearly perfect.

Great read
I’ve long loved the comics, and Gail has done a great job with those. But this is next level. Great story, excellent delve into Sonja’s origin. Really loved it and I hope this is only the first of a series, I will buy every one!

Felicia Day is Red Sonja
The story was great, many characters and we follow most of their stories fluidly. Felicia Day embodied Red Sonja and for me, her voice will be synonymous with her from now on

Sonja the Red
I am new to Red Sonja though aware of the original source material. I normally don't leave reviews, but since it’s a debut novel despite the serious talent but often looked over due to the fan-service of origins of source material, I wanted to contribute a review. Overall, I only have good points. It was highly enjoyable.
Gail Simone has made an easy entry point for Red Sonja her debut novel that delves into a renowned, pre-established character. I experienced the novel in Audible though I also purchased the hardcover. Felicia Day does an excellent job in the voice work and may be one of my new favor voice actors after listening to her work on this book. The novel gives breath for Gail to spread here narrative muscle in a character study in another medium highlighting the talents of all those involved in the project. My only gripe is the book was a one-shot instead of spreading out into multiple books.
It felt like it could have been spread into multiple arcs, but that is more my expectation or desire of the story points and layout than any underlying failing in the execution of the novel. The novel was emotional, heartfelt, sad, amusing, uplifting, funny, bittersweet, and exciting adventure.
Having read many of Gail Simone's comics, I was expecting exceptional character development and dialogue in the novel but was unsure how it would playout in the novel format. I need not have worried as it proved spectacular.
