Mazes of Power

The Broken Trust, Book 1

De: Juliette Wade

Narrado por: Michael Crouch, Will Ropp, Brian Nishii

This debut work of sociological science fiction follows a deadly battle for succession, where brother is pitted against brother in a singular chance to win power and influence for their family.

The cavern city of Pelismara has stood for a thousand years. The Great Families of the nobility cling to the myths of their golden age while the city's technology wanes.

When a fever strikes, and the Eminence dies, seventeen-year-old Tagaret is pushed to represent his Family in the competition for Heir to the Throne. To win would give him the power to rescue his mother from his abusive father, and marry the girl he loves.

But the struggle for power distorts everything in this highly stratified society, and the fever is still loose among the inbred, susceptible nobles. Tagaret's sociopathic younger brother, Nekantor, is obsessed with their family's success. Nekantor is willing to exploit Tagaret, his mother, and her new servant Aloran to defeat their opponents.

Can he be stopped? Should he be stopped? And will they recognize themselves after the struggle has changed them?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrators Michael Crouch, Will Ropp, and Brian Nishi…emphasize the story's diversity as they portray many types of characters, embracing a refreshing range of sexual preferences, health conditions, and physical appearances. The close attention to even the smallest details enhances the listening experience." —AudioFile Magazine

so much potential

the writing style is a little weird here and while j did enjoy the political drama of it all tagarets narrator was awful!
unnecessary pauses and dips in volume. he would speak normally then whisper super soft then explode with energy. I dont have the best hearing so the constant whispering was a definite thumbs down. I think I'll read the book in the future
