Grab your wooden sword and vials of your favorite smells because we’re solving crimes here. 😅

My goodness. From sea walls shaking to insane items in nature, this book is equal parts intriguing and fun.

If you haven’t read RJB yet, don’t sleep on them for too long. (Both Foundryside & The Divine Cities, both completed series, were solid 4 ⭐️ IMHO).

If you have read RJB- is it just me, or does this feel like his strongest book 1 yet?

Incredible voice work by Andrew Fallaize – impressive range for an extremely full cast of characters. TBH, his performance makes it an easy 5 ⭐️.

Mood Reading FTW!

Revisado: 03-23-23

This was truly a perfect March audio listen.

I wasn’t sure I was ready for Irish-historic-anything (because my bookish heart is deeply invested in the Exit Unicorn saga… which I *highly* recommend also), but Lawless was able to hook my attention quickly with sibling love. Oh, and what solid villain/grey character work at play here too- I’m nervous to see how they progress in this series.

I already pre-ordered book two, due out September 2023- because my curiosity is bursting at the seams to see what happens to Fódla and Murchad! Maybe a new favorite fictional couple on the horizon? *fingers crossed* (Oh, and I’m excited to see what happens to sweet Broccan, too!

Recommend to fans of Juliet Marillier, Genevieve Gornichec and Amy Harmon.

You saw love; I saw a dumpster fire.

Dear Audible Friends & Followers:
I would like to state for the official review
that I:
* respect all your positive reviews around this book.
* am a sucker for love a great love story.

BUT GUYS. This ish is pretty low grade quality... everything? Let’s please call a spade a spade.

So here’s what I wasn’t in the mood for:
- The insane amount of abuse. Gross. Boo. Hiss. My feminist mood was shaking her fists.
- Overall Execution:
Example 1: The voice - I just didn’t expect the voice to be so modern in this world where electricity was a BFD. I kind of wish that Armentrout would have picked a century lane and stayed in it- because the voice felt too casual/ sloppy/clunky as it went back and forth. I admit, I’m probably a little snobby about this because of my love for Outlander.

Example 2: Pacing - I can only wallow in repetitive self pity for so long. It felt like Armentrout was getting stuck in wording mini-circles.

The Audible Narrator: Meh. I’m sure Nielsen did her best but I ended up trying to go back to Kindle.

Workout Friendly Series

Revisado: 11-21-20

It’s feels rare to find a series you can run/bike/lift weights etc to- but I can vouch that it’s possible with Darrow in your life.

One of my favorite listens in 2020

Revisado: 11-04-20

And the Audible Oscar (for dramatic magical storytelling by a single narrator) goes to... Carl Prekopp. His hold on this story put me in an absolute trance.

This was the slow burn listen I didn’t know I needed in my life. (But maybe that’s because I’m taking mini listening -breaks between the Red Rising series.)

I listened to this book a few months ago, but I’m still thinking about it

I haven’t heard of Bridget Collins before this but she will be an instant preorder for me in the future.


Audible Grade 4.5/5
