Amazon has reintroduced its "3 for 2" book sale ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Among the selections is Brandon Sanderson's latest sci-fi novel, Blightfall, which kicks off the new Riftwake series and serves as an expansion to his Cytoverse.
The sale offers a discount when purchasing three books, making it most beneficial for readers looking to acquire multiple titles. Blightfall itself is priced at less than $2 off its standard price, so the promotion is best utilized by combining it with other desired books. Sanderson's popular Cosmere universe books are also part of the sale.
Blightfall is a new entry into the Cytoverse, which was initially explored in the Skyward series. While Skyward focused on a more YA-centric sci-fi narrative, Sanderson explained in an interview with IGN that the story centers on teenagers thrust into leadership roles in a post-war society. He noted that Blightfall can be read independently of the Skyward series, functioning as a new entry point similar to the Cosmere books. The Skyward series is also noted for its potential as a standalone story, with a TV adaptation already in development.
For those who prefer audiobooks, Amazon is also offering a deal on Audible. The promotion allows new subscribers to get their first few months for $0.99 per month, with each month including one audiobook. This offer also provides a $20 Audible credit. While Blightfall's audiobook has not yet been reviewed, the Skyward series audiobooks, narrated by Suzy Jackson and Eddie Lopez, have been praised. Jackson and Lopez also collaborated on the Blightfall audiobook.
