Unyielding

The Blacksea Odyssey, Book 3

De: J.A. Vodvarka

Narrado por: Paige Reisenfeld, Wayne Mitchell

Two souls, forever entwined. One seeking justice. The other craving revenge.

Nyssa Blacksea is tired of running from the Imperial regime that wants her dead. With a royal bargaining chip in hand, and freedom for her and Quinn finally within reach, Nyssa's ready to take the fight to the Empire's doorstep. She's armed with a desperate plan and a dangerous weapon: hope.

But that hope is shattered when Quinn's nemesis, Ceril Anelos, strikes. Always a step ahead, his traitorous intentions soon become clear—master forbidden magick that has been locked away for centuries. His ruthless attack forces Nyssa and Quinn to form an unlikely alliance with the very powers that once threatened them. Navigating a treacherous web of Imperial politics, power struggles, and old rivals, Nyssa's top priority remains protecting those she loves.

Both women must confront their own painful pasts while hunting down Anelos, who will stop at nothing to claim Quinn and kill Nyssa. As they race to prevent him from becoming a god himself, Nyssa fights to stay true to her sense of honor and protect Quinn from being consumed by the darkness of hate.

For listeners who love unique epic fantasy set against a semi-modern backdrop, featuring a sapphic enemies-to-lovers slow-burn romance. Unyielding will appeal to fans of Arcane (Netflix), The Legend of Korra, and Gideon the Ninth.

Badass

fights awesome, love story intriguing, ending wanting. Excellent third book👍 Anticipating the next book, don't take too long, please.

Enjoyed but….

The female narrator was excellent and when the male narrator began I thought I would not be able to finish this series. He was like fingernails on a chalkboard. Will never listen to him again

Hoping for another, Wayne just needs work. (No spoilers)

I honestly loved this book and the overall wrap up at the end of it. The ending left just enough of a cliff hanger for me to anticipate a 4th book and curious as to what will happen to wrap up the remaining scuffles left for Quinn & Nessa to endure. I do agree with a comment mentioning the slight annoyance of the void collars. As far as what most reviews have mentioned about Wayne's voice acting, I won't rag on him the way others have. I agree that the way he dramatically perceives the voice of Athen or any of the female characters needs to be brought down a lot, however I do think he has a good general voice for Athen. I think if he talked in a calm but deep voice for the male characters and the same but slightly higher tone for the females and ditched the heavy theatrics and need to sound overly gruff in certainmoments, he'd be a lot bareable to listen to in the audio books. Hopefully, if there is another book, he'll practice more and take the criticism to heart and the more aggressive comments with a grain of salt. Loved the series overall though!

Great Adventure

The whole series was very well written and performed. I highly recommend all 3 books if you like adventure, steamy romance, espionage, and good old fighting.

Love this series!

Really loved this trilogy. Tore through it in 5 days. That being said, should have stuck with only one narrator like the first book instead of adding a secondary male narrator. His parts really took me out of the story and were overly dramatic imho. Thankfully they were kept to a minimum but it was unnecessary and disconnecting. Other than that a solid 5/5 series.
