Phoebe Meadows, Book 2

De: Amanda Carlson

Narrado por: Emma Wilder

For the last month, Phoebe has been training in the Valkyrie stronghold readying for battle. But when she stumbles into a secluded valley after a day of grueling practice, she's given a dire prediction. Phoebe must leave the stronghold immediately with the aid of the giant, Junnal, to rescue her mother from the dark elves. If Phoebe fails, Leela will be transported to a place that can no longer be reached.

Leaving Fen behind threatens to undo her, but Phoebe stays true to the mission. Along the way, she allies with the god Baldur and an old white elf mage. Together, they storm the realm, and with the help of an angry wolf and her Valkyrie sisters, they just might stand a chance to free the valiant shieldmaiden. But Phoebe soon learns that rescuing her mother comes with a price, and she's about to lose something too precious to sacrifice.

Freed: Phoebe Meadows, Book 2

What about Emma Wilder’s performance did you like?

Everything.

She narrated a wide range of characters in this book and all of them in a great way.

The fight scenes were well narrated, they made me feel like I was in the middle of the action.

What I most liked about Emma's work was her narration of the villains in the book. Chilling !

The tenderness and emotion while mother and daughter unite, the sadness while a character fulfills its destiny, you ache and cheer for Phoebe and her family.

All the emotions the books stirs in you due to the good writing and narration.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The series is fast paced.

There is non stop action. But in this book, we get so much more depth.

I naturally loved the fight scenes, the world building and the Norse mythology thrown in .

I loved seeing Phoebe train to be a Valkyrie. She needs to work and improve in order to be a worthy warrior and capable enough to rescue her mother.

As much as the fighting and political intrigues entertained me, moments like Phoebe reuniting with her mother were the heart of the story.

Freed is also a story about a human adjusting to the reality not just being a warrior but a Valkyrie at that.

And amidst all the war ,Gods and mayhem , Phoebe and Fen added a touch of romance to the book .

Any additional comments?
