Vesselless

A Novel

De: Cortney L. Winn

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Brandon Francis

Cortney L. Winn’s sensational debut Vesselless is an addictive enemies-to-lovers romance following the heir to a fantasy kingdom, and the seductive spirit sent to claim her soul—perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent.

“I’ve seen monsters, Nizzara, and you are not one of them. A little beast maybe, but not a monster.”

Nizzara, reluctant heir to the Kingdom of Zarr, has always been able to perceive spirits better than the average caster. When she enters a deadly tournament to escape her betrothal, she's determined to win without succumbing to the addictive spirit magic she channels, or the unnerving darkness growing within her. But finding herself outmatched, Nizzara must face her fear of power and team up with Dagen—an enemy who is half-ghost and all charm—to survive the tournament.

Dagen, the last King of Zarr, was killed by Nizzara’s father ten years ago. Now a half-ghost—able to phase between his human and spirit form—he is stuck in another realm, hunting wretched souls for the god of death. When his keeper offers him a chance to reclaim his freedom in exchange for Nizzara’s soul, Dagen takes the deal.

There’s only one catch: she must give it to him freely by the tournament’s end, or his own soul is forfeit.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Vesselless is a spellbinding fantasy of magic and intrigue — and a tantalizing slow burn that will have you hooked until the very last page.

Worth the credit

It moves a little slow but had an interesting plot . My only complaint is waiting for the next book to come out.

Actually surprising!

Everything feels obvious...AFTER you've gotten there. This book did an amazing job at giving you subtle hints so it all clicks together beautifully when it's done. I'm being super vague so I don't ruin the experience for anyone else. Be warned, I'm ravenous for the second book and it's not out yet. It's rough in the best way.

So good!

Voice actors are great, the world and story even better! I can’t wait for the next book!

It's a Vibe Read

The world is fascinating. I've always loved the steam punk magic of Urban Fantasy. This is a cute.

The only down side is the romance is immature and just constantly always at 10. Could have been bashed over the head a few less times that they were into each other from the get go.

The narrators are pretty mediocre. The male narrator is stale and the female narrator makes the constantly insecure FMC seem very bratty.

I need more...

okay, Im ready for book 2. The cliffhanger ugh... the FMC was just coming into her own.

Wow

If you want something different read this slow burn done right amazing story and narrator did an amazing job

Amazing.

My absolute most critical friend recommended this to me, so I had high expectations and it blew them out of the water. I’m over the competition to the death trope, but I didn’t really mind. The setup for book 2 is great but I’m not sure how I am going to wait till 2027

Uhm …. Obsessed

I loved this story, its characters, the slow burn and the pacing. All was on point. The second book will be a painful but worthwhile wait.

Easily a new favorite october read!!!

the best adult version of Casper meets shadow daddy adult read. interesting new magic system and easy to dive into thw characters. I cant wait for the rest of the series!!!!

“Tell her... that the greatest heroes have a touch of darkness inside.”

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am not a fantasy girlie, but this book just about made me into one. This story had me hooked from the very first chapter, and the more I listened the more I needed to know. I can honestly say that the only reason I put this down was because I need things like sleep and work.

Samantha Brentmoor and Brandon Francis did a phenomenal job with this narration. To the point where you can barely even tell that this is performed in dual style narration. I loved the tension and banter between the characters, and Brandon and Samantha were exceptional at bringing it all to life.

Gods, there's so much I want to say about this story. The pain, the betrayal, the love that both Nizzara and Dagen have for the people. There's just so much, but spoilers. And that ending! That ending had me in literal tears. I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Quote: “I’ve never left you, and I never will. Remember that when you feel alone. No matter what anyone tells you... no matter the darkness you feel, you are the last ray of hope in a dying world.”
