The Orc and Her Bride

Sapphic Orcs of Torden, Book 1

De: Lila Gwynn

Narrado por: Krystal Hammond

Sapphic fantasy romance with a monstrous twist . . .

RUGA KARRSDAUGHTER, dutiful orc princess with a heart of gold, has spent the years since her sister was elected queen serving the orc country of Torden. Her duties now include marrying an elf princess for a much-needed alliance against an outside threat.

ELKETH CERIDWEN, rakish elf princess with a penchant for chaos, has never lifted a finger in her life. Now that an engagement is sprung upon her by the stern elvish king, she has to fulfill a fifty-day betrothal period in Torden surrounded by strangers . . . unless she can wreak enough havoc to get sent back home.

These poor orcs don't know what they're in for.

Enjoyed

Really liked this when I read last year. Was so excited when I saw it was released on audio as well. Narrator was decent.

I need a part 2!

This is an amazingly well written book. I hated Elketh for most of the book but buy the end I understood her better. Ruga was amazing and a likable MC. It was a really good book and worth the credit and time.

Meh

Stories about doormats is not my thing. This story, with how the narrator read, is a downer. I felt I need a therapist or a priest after listening to it.

Fantastic writing that makes you love a character you thoroughly hated

I enjoyed this book very much I have read and listened to many books but few have made me go from hating a character to loving the character by the end it’s a testament to the excellent storytelling and pacing on display in this book I’m not one for “spice” but even that was written in a mature and meaningful way

It was good.

The story was frustrating at times but overall enjoyable. I really did not like Elketh. She is bratty, spoiled and selfish. I felt her growth came too late. I really liked Ruga and thought she deserved better. I liked the narrator and thought she did well.
