A Damsel and a Demigod

The Guild Codex: Spellbound Series

By: Annette Marie

Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs

Only one thing matters to Kai: getting the job done, and doing it better than anyone else.

But when a beautiful thief crashes his security gig, claiming she's trying to protect the valuable artifact he's guarding, all his careful plans go up in flames. He doesn't believe a word she says - until the item is stolen right out from under them.

Recovering the artifact before the real thief can unleash its ancient magic requires insider knowledge - information the mysterious trespasser possesses. Teaming up with a stranger isn't Kai's idea of smart, but he'll need all the help he can get to take on a notorious rogue and arcane power from the time of the gods.

This Could Easily Be a Spinoff Series!

So, we finally know how Kai and Izzah met! I was wondering where she came from. She just sort of showed up in the main series with no real explanation. Now We know why! This book was great. And way too short, lol. I wanted more. I totally enjoyed this book. It explains a lot and leaves you wanting to hear more about Kai and Izzah’s story. I know they’re not together anymore, but this book makes it feel like there will be much more to come with these two.

As for the the narrator, I really don’t understand the complaints. He was great! He enunciated well, he showed the necessary emotions. He didn’t make it feel like he was just reading a book. I loved his portrayal of Kai. Kai was always the strong silent type. He has never been a wordy person. It was always clear that his thoughts, feelings and emotions were kept bottled up inside and this book was no different. Kai was raised differently. He’s not going to just suddenly spew enthusiasm and emotion all over the place just because he got his own book. I feel like the narrator gave true justice to Kai’s unique, quiet, thought-driven, unemotional personality. If he had made Kai any different, say, more out-going, or more enthusiastic sounding, it would have felt wrong. This narrator was spot on. He understands Kai and that’s what we want in a narrator, right?!

A Damsel and a Demigod (The Guild Codex: Spellbound)

A Damsel and a Demigod (The Guild Codex: Spellbound) This is a fun short-story with tons of action. Getting to know Izzah, and the history of Izzah and Kai is great. Definitely recommend this novella

Kai 🥰

Oh yum! A novella all about Kai 🥰 I enjoyed this story and a peek into his backstory. He is an interesting and beguiling character. I still need more Ezra!

its ok

its short. I'm not really sure if it will play a role in the main series. it is interesting to see Kai's perspective.

Liked

For a short stop I thought it was pretty good but I am hoping next book in the series has more details and depth.
