Prisoner of Mauvias

The God's Game Series, Book 1

De: Tiffany Brazell

Narrado por: Emily Lawrence

Prisoner of Mauvias is the first book in The God's Game, a new epic fantasy series by Tiffany Brazell.

A cursed world…

An immortal empress…

A girl with forbidden knowledge and unknown power…

Although she has read all about Vias the Destroyer’s dreaded liths, Salmaara has never seen one. In fact, she’s not even sure the nightmarish, mouthless creatures exist.

She’s never been to Mauvias, land created by the goddess Vias the Destroyer, ruled by a ruthless immortal empress, a place where the very air is cursed with insatiable thirst, or to the ancient city Kalitoomba, a city of soaring glass towers ruled by a benevolent god-king. Following her rescue from a river, Salmaara lives a quiet life working in her father’s pottery shop, trying to discover who she is in a town where her golden eyes and fair skin make it clear she doesn’t belong. Illun, the man she loves as her father, is keeping a secret. An important secret.

Her looks aren’t the only thing that makes her different. Salmaara can sense where people are by their souls, and can connect her soul to theirs. One morning, she reaches for the feeling of her father’s soul and hears his thoughts, something she thought only the servants of the Destroyer could do. Before she can discover what it means, one of the liths appears, takes her captive, and carries her away to the gruesome prison city of Günhai, where even the stones cry out in pain. Within its lightproof halls, Salmaara will have to decide, will she do what she’s told, and become a pet, a tool of the empire, of the destroyer herself? Or will she have to risk her life and very soul, to discover who she truly is and how her powers will be used?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Imaginative and vast, The God's Game Series is a big story vividly told, sure to satisfy fans of epic fantasy.” (Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times best-selling author of The Saga of Seven Suns)

Exciting New Series!

I've really enjoyed this book! I found that the pacing was tight, the world building was fantastic, and it had an excellent variety between serious and humor. The author did a fantastic job setting up their world giving you little pieces of clues and hints into what they are planning, and I found myself constantly wondering what's going to happen next!

The world building was particularly enjoyable. The author used small yet important details to help describe the world and make you feel like you're a part of it. An example from the beginning of the book is their use of the word "suns hat" instead of "sun hat." these small yet intentional choices for words really help put you in this world that they've created.

The pacing is quick and tight. It moves along at just the right speed. I feel like a lot of modern fantasy books are chapters and chapters of filler. I never felt that way about this book.

I think that the narrator did a fantastic performance for both female and male characters.

Can't wait for the next one to come out!

Very well done

Enjoyed the book very much. Looking forward to more. It is an exciting fantasy book

Wonderful story brought to life by a talented narrator

I love this series! It is a clean fantasy geared towards young adults. The author created such realistic characters. The heroine is the inspirational type that can overcome anything through willpower and her relentless positive outlook on life. I can tell this is a series where I will be torn between rooting for the heroes and the villains. When evil is done well, sometimes you just want them to win despite what your conscience says. I can’t wait to hear book two come to life!
