Maerad is a slave in a desperate and unforgiving settlement, taken there as a child when her family is destroyed in war. She doesn’t yet know she has inherited a powerful gift, one that marks her as a member of the noble School of Pellinor and enables her to see the world as no other can. It is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true identity and extraordinary destiny unfold. Now, she and her mysterious teacher must embark on a treacherous, uncertain journey through a time and place where the forces of darkness wield an otherworldly terror.

"Detailed story that holds your attention."
Not sure if I would reread this book. Maybe. Will know better once I read all the books in the series.
Likely the rescue near the start of the heroine of the book.
Not sure if it was a scene as much as the richness and depth of the story.
Again not really one moment.
If you like rich character and world development this is one of those books that draws you in. I enjoyed the book quite a bit and will read further.
I love to read a lot, especially mysteries and fiction.
"The Naming, A Random Find"
No unless you like a slow and British accent. It was hard to understand some of the words that the narrator was saying.
I liked that this story was original and was very fantasy like.
I liked the enthusiasm of the voice and the slight twang of some of the words. I did not like that there was some words that were changed (for an abridged version of an audiobook).
When the main character relived her mother's life and finding her brother after she thought that he died as an infant.
This book and audiobook was a random find.
