Story
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Good Story but HUGE Narration Failure!
I had been waiting for years for this book to come out and was so excited once it did. I relistened to the whole series and then when I started this one. I was so upset and disappointed. I can't tell you how many times I had to rewind and relisten because I couldn't tell if it was Evie, Jack or Aric's thoughts or words. Jack & Aric's accents are gone! You gave them beautiful accents throughout the first 5 books but on the conclusion it was lackluster and flat. This performance is equivalent to switching out the actors of Harry, Hermione & Ron in the last movie of the Harry Potter Movies. That was very frustrating, disappointing and irritating. Accents aside, the ending was good but was ruined by the performance.

Love the story love the series
This final book was nothing short of amazing. The long wait for its release is understandable once you listen. The accents are spot on, and the heartbreak along with the surprises don't stop. I spent a fair amount of time crying while listening to this, and it was worth every tear. I don't believe I have ever been so pleased with the way a series was wrapped up. Authors should take a cue from Kresly, because she NAILED IT. I will miss these characters and all that they brought to the story. Thank you, Kresley for taking the time to do this right! Thank you Emma for giving us the story the way it should have been told. This re-recorded speaks volumes about how important this was to you:)

The audio recording has been FIXED!!!!
I was heartbroken when the book came out because the accents for most of the characters was missing and the book didn't feel the same. I saw a post from the author that the audio had been redone and it is everything that I could have hoped for!!! Emma did an amazing job bringing all the characters to life and all the action was easy to picture. From to Grave was a beautiful farewell to the characters that I've grown to love. The Arcana Chronicles will always be a beloved series.

Where are the accents? Emma, what happened?
I am a huge fan of the AC series and have been so excited for From the Grave. Kresley did an incredible job on this final installment of the series and I was thrilled that Emma was returning to narrate the final book. Emma Galvin made the Arcana Chronicles series intoxicating to listen to; her depictions and accents for each of the characters were incredible…but she utterly failed in From the Grave. Aric and Jack’s dialogue was particularly indiscernible at times, even taking on tones of Emma’s depiction of Richter’s voice. Emma’s disappointing narration was a disservice to KC, the fans, and most of all the LONG-awaited conclusion of this 10-year-long, 7-book series.
If there’s ever an opportunity for Emma to re-record, I hope she takes it. She is one of my favorite narrators of all time, but her performance in FtG was a letdown.

Great story, narrator didn’t prep.
I have this entire series on audio book and the ending is the Cherry on top! It rips your heart out and leaves you in a state of shock days after you are finished.
That being said I was so excited that Emma Galvin was coming back to do the narration, until I started listening. I almost returned this book, all of the voices are different, she didn’t give Aric his accent. It was so bad in the beginning of the book I couldn’t tell the difference between Evie and Aric speaking to each other. If you hadn’t listened to the books back to back it may not be noticeable but I did in order to be “refreshed” for this release. The difference are so jarring the main on being Aric but also Jack.
Overall I loved the story and am thrilled with the ending. I am completely disappointed with the lack a preparation on the part of Emma Galvin.

Worth the Wait
The conclusion of this wonderful series was brilliantly done. Kresley Cole delivered a story full of life, with all the emotional rollercoasters involved. I have already played this story twice, and I anticipate many more as I come to grips with the end of this world Cole created.

Don't bother with the audiobook
Both Aric and Jack's accents are GONE. It was hard to tell Evie, Aric, and Jack apart. For some reason the other Arcana still had their accents, but not the most important characters? It honestly ruined a lot of the experience for me. After waiting SO LONG for this series to have a finale, it was hard to concentrate on the story when I had to keep checking back to figure out who was even speaking. It was really disappointing.

Good Story with Narration Failure
What can I say? From the first words out of Aric's mouth I knew something was wrong. Where is my Latvian accent? Why does Jack sound like Evie? Who's speaking?
The whole purpose of audio is to get a different experience where the performer tells the story and gives the listener the characters and the voices they have come to love. This audiobook was an epic fail. There is no way a producer, proofer or narrator for that matter should have let this book go live without catching the mismatch of voices. Nobody, with the exception of Sol sounded the same. Even Evie sounded much older. I do not return books, but I was so close to just not finishing. However I needed to know how the story would end, so I pressed on...
The story started very slow for me. But I assume that was the purpose as it lead up to the climatic battle between the good Arcana and Richter and Fortune. I will say out of All the theories surrounding WHO or WHAT is Jack that's been circulating, kinda left me like really lol. I still enjoyed the story. I even cried a lot and I know some people didn't like the ending, but it was actually what I hoped it would be. It seemed like the best choice and I was totally happy. Biggest cry moment was Aric's letter to Jack and Matthew's return. That's all I got. I think if you are a stickler for audio (like me), you may want to read the book so your disappointment over the narration won't influence your review too much. Hail Ta Ro!

This Review Was Hard To Write
More of this Review and others at my Bookstagram: @whimsically_bookish
I just want to start by saying I absolutely adore Kresley Cole and even though we don't know what made her go on a five year hiatus, I am grateful she came back and finished this amazing series... unlike George RR Martin who will probably take the ending of GOT to his grave.
Anyway, my expectations were HIGH with this book. I had five years of waiting and the entire series was so phenomenal... I think any ending wouldn't have satisfied me because I just never wanted it to end. That being said, as much as it pains me to write this, I didn't love it.
It started with the narration. The Arcana Chronicles has been my go to audible series rec for years because Emma Galvin was just a narrator queen. She made you feel like you were watching a movie. I had these characters in my head because of the voice she gave them. And it disappeared with this last book. Idk what happened. I know they were trying to hurry up and get the audiobook out, so maybe that had something to do with it, but both Aric and Jack's accents were gone. It was so hard to decipher who was talking and confusion abounded. I would have gladly waited longer to have those accents back.
And while I was so happy to get back to these characters this book read like a filler episode for most of it. It was just... off. I couldn't really stay into it for some reason.
What really upset me though was the ending. I won't spoil anything, but it just wasn't for me. And hey, you can't please everybody 🤷♀️
Last books are hard, especially when you have a series that was this good. It's hard saying goodbye to characters you love so much and the things you wanted may not be what the author had intended. And that's ok. Regardless, KC is an amazing writer and storyteller and I'm glad she's back. I'm thankful we even got an ending, even if it wasn't for me. I loved the characters and this world, and it definitely left me crying to have to say goodbye. I can't wait to see what else KC has in store for us down the road ❤️

Bittersweet ending
The story is fabulous, I was shocked at some parts of the story. The narration was difficult to bear but I preserved because of the power of the story.

Accents?
Aric's loss of accent is the only real downfall about this audiobook. Kresley has done her exceptional writing as always. Beautifully set up throughout each book in the series. I am sad that it is the end, but I am glad Evie made the choice I had hoped she'd made.

What happened to Aric’s accent?
This is truly a let down. Aric has lost his accent entirely. Everyone else sounds abit different. It threw me off.
Emma usually did such a good job, I’m a big fan of hers, sometimes buying books specifically because she’s narrating it. I’m wondering if they may have rushed the process so much so that Emma didn’t get a chance to refresh her memories with the Character’s accent before they hit record.
First half of the story was splendid though! Love love love. Last half of the book was light speed. The end feels like a cop out. But ok with this ending.

NO WORDS... IN THE BEST WAY🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This book was the best way to finish this series!! I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. Alot of ugly/happy crying for sure. Emma Galvin is an absolute champion of a narrator 🏆. Kresley Cole... you are amazing 🔥💜💙

Years ago, a tragic accident robbed me of my mother and emotions. Because I find beauty in darkness and thrive outside social norms, I’ve been labeled a “freak” at school. I know my continued apathy hurts my loved ones, but I’m not about to change. Nothing will ever hurt me again. Then I wake up in an alternate reality...and everything else has changed. Goth is in. I’m considered cool, and my archenemy is the freak. But my real friends won’t talk to me...and the new boy is getting under my skin. As my world spins out of control, I’m desperate to return to normal.

Orfana ed emarginata, Josephine è cresciuta senza poter conoscere la sua vera natura. I poteri che solo lei possiede la rendono qualcosa di diverso da ogni altro essere, ma cosa?

Così, quando il piccolo viene rapito, Josephine parte alla sua ricerca in un'avventura proibitiva, che la esporrà ai pericoli più grandi ma che forse, alla fine, le permetterà di scoprire chi è veramente.
