![]() ![]() Just a note, this book is part of a duology, but to me they read more like a single long book, and Part 2 continues directly where Part 1 ends, and completes the tale. I hope to see more of her books coming to audible. Overall, I highly recommend this book, and this author in general. I don't think he brought anything particularly special to the story, but neither did he distract from the story with things like overdone character voices or a totally wooden narration. ![]() As for the narrator, I found him largely unobjectionable. Though it takes place in a fantasy setting, there are many relevant real-world themes, such as the racism Kiram faces, and the homophobia of Cadeleonian society, that elevate this series from "just" a fantasy novel or "just" M/M romance to something more poignant that will stick in your mind. ![]() The world-building is intricate and fascinating, the plot draws you in, and the characters are all complex, all with their own flaws and their own motivations. Ms Hale is an incredible author, one of my favorites. Her novel Wicked Gentlemen garnered her recognition as a Lambda Literary Award finalist and Spectrum Award winner. It worked out great that the audiobook came out now. Ginn Hale resides in the Pacific Northwest with her wife and two cats. Ginn Hale recently released a new Cadeleonian book and I was meaning to re-read the earlier books to refresh my memory. I have the book on Kindle but it had been years since I'd read it. I was so excited when I saw this on Audible. ![]()
