Summary
Night's Master is the first book of the stunning arabesque high-fantasy series Tales from the Flat Earth, which, in the manner of The One Thousand and One Nights, portrays an ancient world in mythic grandeur via connected tales.
Long ago when the Earth was flat, beautiful, indifferent Gods lived in the airy Upperearth realm above; curious, passionate demons lived in the exotic Underearth realm below; and mortals were relegated to exist in the middle. Azhrarn, Lord of the Demons and the Darkness, was the one who ruled the night, and many mortal lives were changed because of his cruel whimsy. And yet, Azhrarn held inside his demon heart a profound mystery which would change the very fabric of the Flat Earth forever.
Come within this ancient world of brilliant darkness and beauty, of glittering palaces and wondrous elegant beings, of cruel passions and undying love. Discover the exotic wonder that is the Flat Earth.

Weird narrator
This is the second book ever I will refund. I cant get over the weird reading style of the narrator. She has a really nice voice, but reads in a very weird way.

Always a classic of poetic beauty
First read this as a young teen and now again at sixty and it still captivated and draws you into a magnificent world of magic and storytelling to rival and surpass Lord of the Rings. There you go, someone had to say it! Though unlike LOR in almost every conceivable way , still this series of books has been sadly overlooked. Well no longer! Read this book and be part of the magic!

Very elegant writing but not much plot
It took me a while to get used to the reader: on one hand she does really well when reading dialogues, but she has this very repetitive and odd inflection at the end of each sentence when reading the narrator's lines that I found really distracting. I'd advise listening to the example to figure out whether you can bear each sentence ending like that or not. again: she does so well when reading character lines.
The book itself is a collection of stories centering around a demon and his effects on the world he lives (rules?) in. It's very elegantly written but I liked other stories from Tanith Lee more as they had more of a plot to follow in my opinion.

not sure what the direction was
the narrator ruined what was otherwise a good novel, and made what should have been a pleasurable listen into a gruelling slog.

This is almost impossible to get hold of as a book
I read the second book in the series when I was 17 and became obcessed with getting hold of the rest of them. Until I found them on Audible 12 years later I had no luck!
But this book is a treat if you like dark adult fantasy. The themes are put forward with a sensitive abivulance to the subject of morality and the sensuality of the writing is brought out more than I had thought possible by Susan Deurden's reading of it. The audiobook is hypnotic and drops you into a fully realised fantasy world inhabited by apathetic gods, alien demons and the mortals who are their pawns.

Degenerate garbage.
Smut masquerading as the Fantasy genre. Don't waste your time with this absolute nonsense. Reads like a Perry internet fanfic.
