Breathe

The Destiny Series, Book 1

De: Christine Grey

Narrado por: J. Scott Bennett

Dearra comes into possession of the magical Sword of Cyrus just as the evil Breken attack her island home. Though her people succeed in driving their enemy back to the sea, one of the invaders remains behind, left for dead by his cruel kin.

Now, Dearra doesn’t know what to be more surprised by, the fact that her sword can speak to her or that it has imperiously informed her that the handsome Breken warrior is her destiny.

The two are bound together by a chain of events that was set into motion 1,000 years earlier, and everything they thought they knew about themselves, their history, and their future is about to change.

11 plus hours and a cliffhanger

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, via Audiobook Boom, and have voluntarily left this review." A cliffhanger after more than 11 hours of listening. I am disappointed. I enjoyed the entire story and was surprised that a mind that could create such a story could not finish it while alluding to the next story. This causes me unnecessary issues because by the time the next story is complete I have forgotten this one and I sure don't want to spend another 11 plus hours re-listening to this in order to get the next one. There are too many books to listen to before my life is over to do this.The narrator kept me involved in the story.

Fun Fantasy

Breathe
The Destiny Series, Book 1
: Christine Grey

Breathe, is the first book in The Destiny Series. There is plenty of action and adventure. Romance between unlikely pair keeps everyone on their toes. I like the strong female protagonist!!! There is great humor from a sarcastic talking sword, who has a secret of its own.

If you like fantasy this is one for you.


The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. J. Scott Bennett

Great romance without too much drama & some magic

Would you listen to Breathe again? Why?

Yes, it was a very entertaining book to listen to.


What other book might you compare Breathe to and why?

The reason this book peeked my interest was because the premise sounded like the one for Forgotten Ages which I also liked.


Have you listened to any of J. Scott Bennett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but he seem to also narrate The Sorcerer's Sags so I might be listening more of him soon.


Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Listening to the book, I had totally forgotten about the prologue, that is until the epilogue. And what a revelation that was.


Any additional comments?

I just have to say, I was annoying how they kept ignoring the danger "he" posed since the beginning. And cheers for the sarcastic "sword".

Could not stop listening!

Which character – as performed by J. Scott Bennett – was your favorite?

I became a fan of J. Scott Bennett after listening to him narrate the Titanic story, and he did not disappoint. He has a nice range of voices and conveys many moods!

By far my favorite character - considering both the story and narration - was Brin!

Any additional comments?

I wish this book was turned into a movie, maybe by Disney Studios.

It's not a serious and dark adventure, but a light and romantic one, with touches of humor that made me smile. There is instant love between the characters which I found very pleasantly Disney-like, but I see how some people might be turned off by that so here's my "warning".

The story is not fully contained in this book and the end paves the way for a sequel, so if you're bothered by that it can be a good idea to wait for the next installment. I know I am expecting it eagerly!

The characters were fun and comical at times

Breathe (The Destiny Series, #1)

by Christine Grey Narrated by J. Scott Bennett

Breathe was a good read; the story was detailed and the imagery was vivid. The characters were fun and comical at times; Dearra was a unique character and I loved having a strong female as the main character, even if she did behave like a child at times. I loved the adventurous and suspenseful parts of the story the most. Unfortunately, there was a lot of unnecessary text in between the good parts. I felt a bit overwritten at times and slowed the story down but it was worth it in the end. I rate the story with 3 stars.

I listened to the audio version of this and the voices the narrator gave the characters kept me listening. He is definitely a creative and talented narrator! I give the narration 5 stars.

Overall rating for this book is 4 stars.
