Crown of Crystal Flame

By: C. L. Wilson

Narrated by: Emily Durante

A Song of Love won her heart.
A Song of Darkness haunted her soul.
A Song in the Dance would seal her fate.

Seers had long foreseen an extraordinary destiny for Ellysetta Baristani. Already she had won the heart of the Fey King—the magnificent Rain, ever her ally, eternally her love. She had saved the offspring of the magical tairen and fought beside her legendary mate against the armies of Eld. But the most powerful—and dangerous—Verse of her Song had yet to be sung. As the final battle draws nigh and evil tightens its grip upon her soul—will Ellysetta secure the world for Light or plunge it into Darkness for all eternity? As she and Rain fight for each other, side by side, will they find a way to complete their truemate bond and defeat the evil High Mage of Eld before it's too late, or must they make the ultimate sacrifice to save their world?

Amazing

This series is amazing. Buy it, read it, listen to it. It's the perfect mix of Epic Fantasy and Paranormal Romance.

Artfully spun tale

It been a while since I've read a fantasy series and the first time I've read a a fantasy romance series. C.L. does a masterful job of keeping you in suspense and leaving you teetering on despair wondering how the heroes are going to surmount the overwhelming odds set against them.

An excellent ending to an epic love story.

This series was so addictive, I was taken to a world of magic. Truly the best fantasy romance I have read the a very long time...

Fantasy Galore!

If you are looking for an epic fantasy series this one is pretty good. The characters and story are very unique and written beautifully.

There needs to be more!

What made the experience of listening to Crown of Crystal Flame the most enjoyable?

The narrator has a good voice for this story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Steli-chakai! She was so funny, fierce and loving toward Ellysetta & the kittens. And her disappointment that she couldn"t use humans as prey. She was funny & sweet.

Have you listened to any of Emily Durante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and she does a great job with all of them.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, definitely!

Any additional comments?

The biggest disappointment I had was that it never told what happened to Melliandra, Nicolene and the babies other than heading towards the mountains. Melliandra played a very large part in Shan's escape and I really wanted to read her reaction to the sun and the world above ground. I'd also liked to have known about Nicolene and her baby, Shia's son and the rest of the children born through abuse. I hope Ms. Wilson writes more about some of these minor characters. If it had told about Melliandra s & Nicolene's fate, I would have given the story 5 stars instead of 4. Also Ms. Wilson could have made the High Mage suffer more before dying! He got off too easy for all the suffering he caused!
