Dark Moon Defender

The Twelve Houses, Book 3

De: Sharon Shinn

Narrado por: Joe Barrett

The Rider Justin is sent to the small town of Neft, so he can spy on the nearby Lumanen Convent, where the Daughters of the Pale Mother reside. He quickly learns that Coralinda Gisseltess, the leader of the Daughters, is indeed persecuting mystics and the people who shelter them.

Even more quickly, he falls in love with Ellynor, one of the convent novices. But the courtship is perilous in the extreme. Not only does Coralinda hate the king and the king's Riders, but Ellynor is from the Lirrenlands, where women are not allowed to take lovers outside of the close-knit clans. If her brothers find out about Justin, they will insist upon a duel to the death...and if Coralinda finds out that Ellynor is a mystic, Ellynor's own life will be instantly at risk.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Shinn....paints their journey with a lyrical grace and deep appreciation of camaraderie reminiscent of Diane Duane at her best." (Publishers Weekly)

Nice shift in readers

Book three in this series focuses on Justin and his personal adventures. I found that while I enjoyed the reader of the prior books, having a male voice for Justin's story was perfect. It was wonderful to watch him fall in love and show a soft side to what I envisioned to be a gruff, burly guy who could easily kill a man as cry over a wounded animal.

Brantley written

I very much love the world that was created by this author and this story of these people

Dark Moon Defender

Love the series. Each character gets a storyline in subsequent books and interacts with the other characters. Worth listening to!

Loving this latest book

I enjoyed every minute of this 3rd book in the saga, the only distraction was the change in readers. The voices didn’t match the characters as they had previously been presented, sorry.

Great Series Bad Shift in Narrator

Any additional comments?

I really like this series, and I really liked the narrator of the first two books, and was disappointed with the change. This story is wonderful, and the new narrator isn't bad, but it is not the same.
