Reaper of Souls

De: Rena Barron

Narrado por: Robin Miles

A prince repelled by magic. A king bent on revenge. A witch doctor who does not walk alone. Brimming with dark magic, high stakes, and serpentine twists, the second book in Rena Barron’s thrilling YA fantasy saga is perfect for fans of Laini Taylor, Sabaa Tahir, and Tomi Adeyemi.

After so many years yearning for the gift of magic, Arrah has the one thing she’s always wanted - but it came at too steep a price. Now the last surviving witch doctor, she’s been left to pick up the shattered pieces of a family that betrayed her, a kingdom plunged into chaos, and a love that can never be. While Arrah returns to the tribal lands to search for survivors of the demons’ attack, her beloved Rudjek hunts down the remnants of the demon army - and uncovers a plot that would destroy what’s left of their world. The Demon King wants Arrah, and if she and Rudjek can’t unravel his schemes, he will destroy everything, and everyone, standing in his way.

Set in a richly imagined world inspired by whispered tales of voodoo and folk magic, the Kingdom of Souls trilogy has been optioned for film by Michael B. Jordan and his Warner Bros. production company, Outlier Society.

Too much tell and tropes

Too much tell, not enough show. Tension relies on characters being confused or ignoring things rather than experiencing/going through/confronting. Twists were all fun but predictable.

Robin Miles is enigmatic and really brought this story to life. I was reading and listening to audio on and off. By the end I just switched to audio because Robin made it so exciting and enjoyable.

Magnificent

I so enjoyed this story and the narration. I love it when I can get lost in a book. Robin Miles narration never disappoints. I will stop not writing now so I can start the next book in the series. 🥰

Outstanding

I'm not going to lie - I snatched waaaaay too much time from doing work to listen to this amazing story. Characters? Check! Captivating Storyline? Check! Afrofuturism at it's best? Check!

Immersive Story, Memorable Narrator
