Orphaned by the brutal death of her mother right before her very eyes, a young Anati child flees into a nightmare of lonely survival, desperate hunger, and fearfully haunted nights. In the very same city, a young, purebred Nephti kit has everything she could ever want - prestigious parents, a noble family house, and a well-appointed lair. These two will become the heroines of their age and legends of the ages to come, but the path that leads them there will be neither easy nor glorious.

An excellent listen!

Where does Purebred: Soul of the Mixed Blood: The Thurian Saga, Book 5 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I would say near the top, though my experience with audiobooks is a little light (Full disclosure.) I have heard some of the black library books and a few of the Pendergast novels, and I would say that I had a more enjoyable time with this book than most of the others. In particular the familial/business intrigue and drama during the second half of the book engaged me, and the ending was timed and written perfectly: When it was all over I immediately went shopping for the next book in the timeline.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I would have to say Sahnassa gets the nod for my favorite character, more than any character she is in the center of many different arenas during the book and I would guess is playing the most delicate balancing act of all of them through the series.
Have you listened to any of Elizabeth Phillips’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I can not compare as I have listened to no other performances, I can only say that in this audiobook I believe she was an amazing choice. Her ability to voice anything from a child to an old woman and everything in between was flawless, and she did well with the male roles as well!
If I was simply desperate to make a complaint I might say that even at her deepest, her voice is not what I would associate with an 8 foot tall wall of muscle. This "Criticism" would also apply to most people I have ever encountered, self included.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It is not very often that an author manages to really provoke an emotional reaction from me. This one did. Chapter 7, for a variety of reasons was very hard for me to sit through.
Before someone confuses this for me dinging the book, the author and voice actress achieved exactly what they wanted to do: I felt sad, I felt hurt, and I felt hate. Well done!
