Great trilogy

Enjoyed this trilogy with my kids while driving. Kept them engaged and wanting to hear more. Had to keep stopping it to discuss other scenarios with them. Thanks!

Great Story, Narration meh

The story itself was great, as always a wonderful love interest and buildup, good twists and turns. It took me a while to get used to the Narrator. Though she did the accents well, and fluctuates between voices, something about the actual story telling (when she wasn't playing characters) was a bit monotonous for me, I eventually got used to it however. otherwise a great story and strong heroine

Too slow

Too slow & I tried several times thinking it would “jump up “ at the next interval but it’s as slow as the taffy they make.
Accents are nice but it certainly doesn’t merit the reviews that lead me into getting it.

Wonderful Story

At first, I was disappointed at the lack of supernatural in this. Truly her being a Seer is important to the plot but not in the way I expected But reading through Books 2 & 3, I understand the world and how perfect; ly intune her abilities were.
This is a story of rebellion with a touch of special powers. Once you understand that, it's a strong story and the Seer will play a pivotal role and that pushes the reader forward to the next in the series. Each entry contains a story within itself but creates a wonderful overall arc. I enjoyed the action but was also touched by the quiet moments as well.
I have to say I loved the candy. It was an unusual touch that was fun and gave the story an edge.
The narration was much better than the others I have heard recently. The narrator is engaging but is best when narrating the dialogue of those with the Scottish brogue.
Overall, this was enjoyable especially when I truly understood the story.
I received a free copy for review: all opinions are my own.

Fantastic and original writing!

What a fantastic story. I rarely read non-fiction but I am so glad I made an exception in this case. This story will hook you and reel you in wanting more and more.

Magical candy aids the rebel Scottish.

This story takes place in an alternate history. America is still an English colony, People posses magical sixth senses, and chemists create confections that would amaze even the kids in the world of Harry Potter.

Scotland is a nation oppressed. The fabled coronation stone is the only thing that can choose the prophesied heir. The heir to the throne who will rule Scotland and drive out the English king for good.

I love the characters in this series and I'm glad I got to listen to it all at once. It is one complete story with each book following close behind the events of the one before it.

The narrator did an amazing job of giving each character their own voice and she did the unique accents of each nation and region as well.

I highly recommend listening to this complete trilogy compilation rather then getting each book on its own.

on the border

I wanted to like the series but I'm on the fence; it was ok but just didn't hold my interest like I was hoping as other stories from this author has.

So good

I really enjoyed this trilogy very interesting story fun and entertaining can't wait to read more from this author

Very different story.

Alisha Klapheke wrote a very different story. A little hard to get used to at first, with what seemed like a mixed timeline over what seemed like many generations. But after I got into it, I decided it was a very good story and Kylie Stewart did a very good job narrating it. It will be one I'll be re-listening to again. Thank you for the great story!!

Excellent trilogy!

4.5 stars! This was an excellent trilogy, building tension and story throughout the three books to an exciting and pulse pounding crescendo. A brilliant mixture of an 18th century style Scottish rebellion with an alternate modern day world, complete with cars, phones, technology......and magically altered candy!!

The main characters, Aini and Thane remain solid and stalwart, battling through deception and heartache, pain and joy, but never seeming to lose their strength or their connection to each other. All the while, the other members of this rebel party are equally intriguing, and add a wonderful level of personality to the story. Cheeky Miles, sweet and loyal Neve, strong and sassy (a little bit scary) Vera, and further along, loyal and true Braughn. They each added their only specia touches to the story as well as helping to shape the main characters as they grow into their destinies. The “bad guys” of the story, Earl Nether, Jack, even King John, while infusing plenty of fear and tension, weren’t as fleshed out, but still managed to be effective as a driving force to the rebellion, so the impact wasn’t significant. Their driving force really seemed to stem from money and power, and there was little to expand on or clarify this.

The pacing moves along at a good clip, and the tension builds in each book to a crescendo, as it also does throughout the trilogy, sucking you in and keeping you invested in moving forward and seeing how this could all play out. Overall, it is very effective storytelling.

The narration is quite good, as well. She doesn’t try too hard to create the different characters voices, but they are still recognizable from each other pretty well, and the accent differences are done well. The tone and pace are done well, and work very congruent with the story.
