No one expects a princess to be brutal. And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets.

Absolutely Wonderful
Revisado: 02-20-20
Please don let the HBO GOT comparison sway you one way or the other. This book is on a league of it's own. If anyone did not like that TV series for some reason, I would hate them to miss out on this superb story and enchanting chapters.
The performance is stunning. The narrator does a great job bringing life to the characters, who i'm sure spark into existence just fine on paper.
I love the main characters. I love the topics it touches. Lada is a satisfying character to me, just as Hekkat from Karen Miller's Godspeaker Trilogy was to me. Both characters inspired me, though I apply such lessons in a more constructive, much less violent way.
This book is beautiful. I look forward to when I can continue hearing the story.

"The Innocent Mage is come, and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything." Being a fisherman like his father isn't a bad life, but it's not the one that Asher wants. Despite his humble roots, Asher has grand dreams. And they call him to Dorana, home of princes, beggars, and the warrior mages who have protected the kingdom for generations. Little does Asher know, however, that his arrival in the city is being closely watched by members of the Circle, people dedicated to preserving an ancient magic.

Absolutely Phenomenal
Revisado: 05-23-19
The Innocent Mage was a joy to listen to with wonderful characters. The friendships displayed warms my heart, and the family matters ring true as well. I appreciate the focus of the book. The details and narrative flow so smoothly together. This has to be one of my favorite endings to the first book of a series. I love how it was written. Karen Miller does a great job at coloring the world and giving a unique voice to each character. What she does with vocabulary, Kirby Heyborn uses to bring them more to life. He does an outstanding job with this book. I'd never imagine one person could hold so many voices. I'm thoroughly looking forward to the second book. This series thus far has established Karen Miller as a favorite writer, and Kirby Heyborne as a narrator I want to hear more stories from.

Hands Down, My Favorite
Revisado: 04-03-19
The Godspeaker Trilogy is absolutely my favorite short series. I wish there was more. This second book is great for those used to traditional, European tales. The first book, Empress, is still the one that got be hooked. I read the first book as hard copy at first, and made it through most of The Riven Kingdom. Work and life made it difficult to finish, until I discovered Audible. I was so impressed by Josephine Bailey's narration, that I got the first book and the remaining books. She does a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life. The characters in this book bring great joy. The complicated relationships are good to see. I hoped it worked well.

Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs. Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares.

I love hearing such a story from a different perspective. So many ideas are new to me, fresh and different. It was a good listen. I look forward to the other stories.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway - a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors.
