Resumen del Editor

Jordan Parker becomes an obsession to William, a man who believes that she is the only being on the planet that can save him. When Jordan goes on the run and William corners her it culminates in a bloody massacre where Jordan is the sole survivor. This forces Mr. Parker, the father who abandoned her before she was born to appear and bring her into his world - a world filled with magic, wonder, and danger. Through him, Jordan will learn the secrets of her birthright, what makes her power special and why she has suddenly become a pawn in a deadly war for power.

good book

I really enjoyed this story. was well written and performed. looking forward to the next book in serie.

Surprisingly Good

Would you listen to Birthright again? Why?

Yes I believe I would just to see if I missed anything, but especially if it takes a long time to get the next book in the series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Birthright?

There were several memorable moments. The slaughter of innocents, the awakening of the valor, Jordan's memories and the destruction created because of them, the meeting with her grandfather, and that refrigerator.

What does Bodine Boling bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Boling has a good grasp of the story's flow and is able to bring bring all aspects of the characters to reality with her calm, deliberate voice.

Any additional comments?

I received this audiobook as a promotional gift from the author and audible.com but at first was wary since I've received other audiobooks from promotions and was not impressed. When the story started out I was again feeling disappointed but kept listening. The first two chapters were very frustrating because the reader is thrown into the main character's life without any explanation which makes it tough to follow, but by chapter 5 things begin to make sense and I wanted to hear more. There were times in the story when I was wondering if it was just another Heroes, X-men, or Harry Potter but the story developed nicely into it's own enjoyable entity. Thank you for the audiobook.

Very disjointed in the beginning

This book is really tough to get a handle on at first. It jumps all around and it is difficult to really get a read on what is happening.

The story takes it's time unfolding, slowly sharing it's secrets. I really liked Jordan and wanted to love her story. There are just so many things that were either unanswered or took too long to reveal.

The fact that most of the book is from her POV limits how much the reader knows. We only get things as she does, which isn't quick. The world building was much slower than I would have liked.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Bodine Boling, who is excellent. Her compelling narration keeps you listening, even when the book feels slow. She has a steady swift read that keeps things moving. I really enjoyed her voices and the distinctions between the charters. She has a soothing yet youthful tone. I would love to find more of her reads.

While the story was difficult to get a grasp on, I was pulled in and curious to see what happens next. Perhaps the next book will answer more questions. This book is a very intriguing concept and Jordan is a compelling character.

Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.

The Ending I disliked

The Story it's self was Great but I think that the ending left a lot to be desired

Where's Book 2?

I looked for book 2 immediately after listening to this one & couldn't find it on audio? Why disappoint me by not having it on audio?

This book enthralled me so much that I had to hear book 2....Still waiting. One of the best books that I've heard in awhile & I am an avid audiobook fan.
