Emberhawk

The Katrosi Revolution, Book 1

De: Jamie Foley

Narrado por: Brenda Scott Wlazlo

The Elementals have decided they're gods, and humans are nothing but fuel for their fire.

A starving trapper.

Merciless drought withers Kira's ranch, leaving her family hungry and desperate enough to cross the border into the forbidden forest to trap wild game.

But the forest is infested with tree scorpions and giant cats that wield elemental invisibility, and they're hungry, too. When Kira mistakes one elemental creature for another, she ends up with the last thing she wants in her trap: an enemy soldier.

An invisible spy.

Ryon can't afford to be a prisoner of war. If the Malaano Empire extracts his secrets, the rumors of war will be confirmed, and the tribes stand little chance against the empire unless they can put aside generations of bad blood for the sake of a Tribal Alliance.

When Ryon's escape leaves Kira injured and her livelihood in flames, Ryon must choose between aiding her or returning to his chieftess with vital information.

But can he survive the trek when an elemental pursues him for his rejected heritage?

A sacrificial princess.

Imperial Princess Vylia is given a powerful ancient stone as her wavesinger trials approach. But is the stone's whispering voice from the water goddess or a masquerading elemental the creator god imprisoned, millennia ago?

When Vylia's diplomatic mission to the tribal lands erupts in fiery revenge, she, Kira, and Ryon must work together to survive or become pawns in the battle of the gods.

Excellent Narration for an Excellent Book

If you start a book at the end of one year and finish in the next, do you get to count it as your favorite book for two years?
Emberhawk was definitely one of my favorites from last year and is starting this year as a strong contender.
Let me make my case:
Strong and engaging characters
Multiple POVs
Complex story world that draws on the familiar (American West and Japan) but in an original way that adds richness and avoids the pitfalls of drawing too heavily on the real world.
Fascinating magic and belief system
Complex politics that doesn’t feel like a commentary on current events
Add in a cunning villain with a few other antagonists, perfect pacing, and more twists and turns than a good roller coaster
As for the narrator. Wow! She’s good. I mean, multiple voices and distinct accents good. I’m looking forward to her narration of Silver Blood. If you start a book at the end of one year and finish in the next, do you get to count it as your favorite book for two years?
