Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

What You Have Heard is True is a devastating, lyrical, and visionary memoir about a young woman’s brave choice to engage with horror in order to help others. Written by one of the most gifted poets of her generation, this is the story of a woman’s radical act of empathy, and her fateful encounter with an intriguing man who changes the course of her life.

Poetry in Prose
Revisado: 07-02-19
I am so glad I listened to the audible version of this book. Carolyn Forche narrating her own story is just so powerful. Because she's a poet, she writes with a sense of rhythm, and it comes through so much when she reads.
It created this amazing juxtaposition between the absolute beauty of her language and the terrible things she was describing that really brings that awfulness into focus.
I would recommend this book to anyone, but even more do I recommend the audible version.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 1,946
The youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile, distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when his father and three sons in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir. Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any moment.

I Love this Book
Revisado: 07-02-19
I decided to listen to this book a couple of years after reading it. I loved the book just as much as I had before.
I did have some trouble keeping minor characters straight because their titles were all the same, so it was only last name that differentiate them. I had a bit easier time with the printed book.
But still, this was wonderful to listen to as I had a lot of driving to do, and I fell in love with Maia and his court just as easily as I had before.

In a see-through land our reflections live. They call us Sounds. They are our Echoes. And they think that they must die when we do. Is this why children are disappearing from the Sound realm? Because someone wants their Echo to die? Twelve-year-old Will Cleary tries to escape the frightening answer. But dangers sweep him into that magical, see-through land. And there, in a fortress filled with castaway children, a 200-year-old riddle lies buried.

Great Family Road Trip Book
Revisado: 07-02-19
I really enjoyed this book. While there were times at the beginning (before I got to know the characters) when I was confused as to who was speaking, and times at the end where the choreography of the fight scenes lost me, for the most part I thought this was an easy to follow story.
I think it would make a great book to listen to on a family road trip. The book is appropriate to almost all ages, and the frequent chapter breaks means you are never far from a good stopping point, which can be super important when traveling.
