Idolfire

De: Grace Curtis

Narrado por: Jen Jayden

An epic sapphic fantasy road trip inspired by the fall of Rome, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Frontier and Floating Hotel

On one side of the world, Aleya Ana-Ulai is desperate for a chance. Her family have written her off as a mistake, but she's determined to prove every last one of them wrong.

On the other, Kirby of Wall's End is searching for redemption. An ancient curse tore her life apart, but to fix it, she'll have to leave everything behind.

Fate sets them both on the path to Nivela, a city once poised to conquer the world with the power of a thousand stolen gods. Now the gates are closed and the old magic slumbers. Dead—or waiting for a spark to light it anew . . .

A character-driven science-fantasy road trip book with sword fights and a slow burn romance, Idolfire delves into the vastness of history and the terrifying power of organized faith.

LOVE the story, not so much the narration

I absolutely loved this book, thought it was beyond lovely and enjoyable. The characters were very fun and relatable - the ending was just heart wrenching. The story gets 5 stars from me!! Very cozy fantasy but the stakes are higher than most other cozy fantasy books I've read. Lots of traveling and camping which was super fun. ALSO THE LOVE STORY!!??

I wasn't the biggest fan of the narration. The accents were exaggerated to the point that it really was difficult to understand. I ended up reading this one instead. (:
