Why listen to The Empyrean?
Rebecca Soler leads the narration, and she has the stamina the material demands, holding character voices steady across 28 hours and 16 minutes while keeping the emotional register high. Fantasy this propulsive rewards a narrator who commits, and she does.Do not start here. Iron Flame is the second volume, and its weight depends on what came before, so begin with the series opener and let the story build properly.It suits binge listeners above all: the length that looks intimidating on paper becomes a luxury when you are hooked, turning a fortnight of commutes, gym sessions and washing-up into one continuous story. Romantic fantasy fans will find it irresistible.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★★ 4.5/5
I am rarely swayed by hype, so I paid attention to the shape of the data instead: 403 listeners holding a sequel at 4.7 stars across more than 28 hours is genuine devotion, not marketing. In my own listening the length occasionally shows, and I docked half a star for stretches that a firmer edit would have tightened. Yet Rebecca Soler’s committed performance kept pulling me back, and I finished it faster than books half its size. A big, confident, moreish piece of storytelling.
