A Storm of Silver and Ash

The Oncoming Storm, Book 1

De: Marion Blackwood

Narrado por: Rachel Leblang

The Oncoming Storm is a name whispered in awe throughout the Underworld. She’s known as a master thief and a lethal knife-wielder. Some even say she has the skills of an assassin. All of it is true. She’s also a sarcastic smartmouth with the social graces of a bull.

You will find her running across rooftops, sneaking in the shadows, and breaking into houses. That is, if she’s not busy getting ambushed and blackmailed into a seemingly impossible mission. Grudgingly caught in a dangerous power struggle, The Oncoming Storm must leave behind the world she knows and maneuver through scheming assassins, calculating elves, and desperate royals.

Before her adventure is over, she will have loved, saved, killed, and double-crossed those around her. The only question is, who? The clock is ticking, and before time runs out, The Oncoming Storm must decide who to trust and who to betray....

Has potential

I'm not sure if its the character design, or the voice actor but probably both. The character is a poser if that makes sense, wanting to be dark & mysterious but not at the same time. There's also quite a few cringe lines... The voice actor didnt have much emotion...? or at least didnt play the emotions right for these characters, her trying to be menacing is really bad second hand embarrassment. The preview doesnt sound that bad, but the more I listened, the more I wanted to return it. The only thing that stopped me was the storyline, its intriguing.

Narrator could’ve been better

It was okay. Felt like I could’ve written it tho. Not much depth to it. I wouldn’t spend a credit on it. The narrator’s voice was annoying. She tried to change it for each female. And it just sounded very high pitched and very hoity-toity (spelling). It drove me crazy.
