Dragon's Reach

The Keeper Origins, Book 1

De: JA Andrews

Narrado por: Kate Reading

The tale of how an orphaned thief escaped the slums, united a nation, and brought a mighty empire to its knees.

The truth is neither plain nor simple. Sable, a reluctant thief from the slums, can feel truth when people speak. For years she’s been using that skill to try to break free from the vicious gang boss to whom she's indebted.

Escape comes in the form of an odd set of companions: a dwarf running from the past, an actor with a magical, glowing tree, a too-helpful kobold, a playwright with a knack for getting stories out of people, and a man and woman with suspicious, magical powers.

But Sable’s freedom is short lived. On the edges of civilization, they discover hidden, terrifying lies in the offers of peace from the brutal Kalesh Empire. Now, she must return to the city she fled, and along with her companions, attempt an impossible task: convince everyone, including the powerful Dragon Prioress, of the truth.

Except the Kalesh web of lies has ensnared everyone.

With her land, her people, and everything she loves hanging in the balance, Sable is the only one standing between freedom and certain death.

The Keeper Origins trilogy and the Keeper Chronicles trilogy can be listened to in any order. They take place in the same world but are stand-alone books.

Reliably Wonderful Books

After reading The Keeper Chronicles I could not wait for more books from JA Andrews and I will tell you she does not disappoint! Another wonderful book that really makes you feel for the characters. I was soured by the ending not because it was poorly written, but because it was so well written and narrated that I felt as hopeless as Sable! I couldn't wait for the next book and was dreading not knowing what would become of these characters. Also, Kate Reading is an absolutely wonderful narrator. I often will avoid certain books I would otherwise find interesting because the narrators voice is too pitchy or monotonous etc., but Kate Reading's inflections, characters differentiations, and alto voice made this an even more wonderful read.

Loved it!

Very well done! I hated for the story to end. As always - Kate Reading keeps it interesting

Only reason is is given a 4..

Is because there were times I was kind of lost and couldn't really follow the story. However I feel as though if I was reading it book in hand it wouldn't have been that way.
The story was great, I'll absolutely pick up the next two. The last few hours of this book had me hooked and hope others enjoy it as well.
