Shadowblade

Spellmonger: Legacy and Secrets, Book 3

De: Terry Mancour, Emily Burch Harris

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

A heroic young thief and her family fight against the darkness that threatens the entire land in the riveting final volume of this fantasy adventure saga.

An increasingly talented and skilled shadowthief, Gatina of House Furtius—known in more rebellious circles as the Kitten of Night—continues her covert work in the ongoing struggle against the vile usurper Count Vichetral. Vichetral's dominion over the duchy of Alshar has grown ever darker, with slavery now legal and vicious gangs brutally enforcing his will.

Their enemies infiltrating even the Shadow Council in the hunt for Gatina and her family, Gatina's father decides to meet with the mighty Sea Lords and discover if any are willing to join the effort to take down Vichetral. The voyage also offers Gatina a chance to learn about her distant relatives, who wield their power amidst the waves, and to enhance her facility with her very own, newly forged shadowblade.

But danger can follow across water as well as land. And Gatina soon finds herself in a desperate battle from which the winner will sail away as the vanquished sinks into the briny deep . . . forever.

The Spellmonger: Legacy and Secrets trilogy introduces a younger Gatina, the Kitten of Night, as she comes into her own as a shadowmage.

please, for gods sake, change the narrator.

The narrator does one thing that gets incredibly infuriating very quickly. she starts every sentense with high intonation, and lowers it as she runs out of breath. This gets disracting and infuriating very quickly. I had to buy the book and read it myself. my head was exploding from the constant tone change that came with every sentence. it is like reading sentences like this. MOM!! Gatina said as she came closer, WHAT!! are you doing here so late. I THOUGHT!!! you were out having a nice stroll for once. HAS ANYTHING!!! happened? NO SWEAT CHILD!!! everything is just peachy. I JUST!!! met someone after a long time.

Good conclusion of

After listening to this trilogy I'm already excited to re-listen to the main series again. I enjoy the characters and their experiences, and it feels like it could be standalone or enriching the main series.

Still with the distracting pronunciation issues.

I don't understand why this hasn't been addressed three books in. It seems like every other sentence has a word or words pronounced incorrectly. It's hugely distracting and continually pulls you out of the story. The story is interesting but it's hard to enjoy it under the circumstances.

They’ve done it again

This writing team blends action and magic so seamlessly. The narrator brings her own flavor to the mix and I loved every minute of listening.

Great

Fills in story gaps that is not covered in the main novels. Not required information but great to know.
