A Spell of Bones and Madness

The Nostos Series, Book 2

De: E.K. Condos

Narrado por: Stella Bloom, Anthony Palmini, Gail Shalan, Saleem Udean

Blood. Daggers. Golden chains.

Katrin's nightmares have returned. This time, they are not visions of the past, but the present. His present.

Castle Drakos hadn't been attacked since the ancient war. Until that day. The day everything changed. The day she became Queen. The day she barely escaped with her life in exchange for Alexander's.

Now Katrin must work with the crew of The Nostos and several unlikely allies to not only rescue Alexander, but journey through the depths of Aidesian itself to prevent Hades from being resurrected.

Because if King Athanas and the King of Harrenfort have their way, the fallen will rise.

Good story, mediocre voice actors

The story is good, my issue lies with the male voice actors, especially Kohl’s. Call me crazy, but a professional should be able to pronounce basic, common words correctly or at least look up the pronunciation. No issues with people in real life doing this, but when you’re getting paid and I’m paying for the project the bar is a bit higher.

AI sounding

The parts that are read by the Ai sounding narrators is very hard to listen to. It took me much longer than usual to finish this book, cause I just didn't want to listen to it. Please stop with the Ai. It takes away from the stories.

I like strong female characters that need saving because of the circumstances not because they are women

needs more sex! More PALMINI! Bloom is rad too. The word Vapid is a bit overused. Really it's very entertaining. Well written. Trauma without inducing PTSD.

Good plot.

Overall it was good. Discovering new roles and who was who. Overall recommend this read.

Great

Saleem who voices Kohl sounded alot less robotic than the first book which was great. Anthony can narrate the dictionary and I’d listen to it. The rest of the cast did fantastic. Good story. Will be continuing when the next book comes out.
