Solid First Book in a Series

Really strong start to a fantasy series that kept me engaged until the end. Even with a satisfying end to the story arc, I was engaged enough that I wanted more of the story. I will definitely be getting the rest of the series when it is released on audible. Senn Annis (narrator) is a good fit for the MC, but a lot of her male voices sound the same. They are however distinct enough that you can keep them separate. Can't wait for Hymn or Canticle.

What's A Girl To Do?

Natalya Capello's writing is creative. In book one of this series, the protagonist, Lorelei, has visions that make others think that she is insane and so she is banished to a remote priory. On her journey there, a priestess encourages Lorelei to join a pilgrimage, which sends Lorelei into a never ending thrill ride. The story is fun and entertaining. The world building is extensive, The characters are interesting and convoluted. I recommend this book to everyone who likes the fantasy genre. Senn Annis' narration is fantastic and adds to the entertainment of the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
