House of Enchanted: The Revelations of Oriceran

Soul Stone Mage, Book 1

De: Martha Carr, Sarah Noffke

Narrado por: Carly Robins

The Kingdom of Virgo has lived in peace for thousands of years...until now.

The humans from Terran have always been real assholes to the witches of Virgo. Now a silent war is brewing, and the timing couldn’t be worse. Princess Azure will soon be crowned queen of the Kingdom of Virgo.

In the Dark Forest, a powerful potion-maker has been murdered.

Charmsgood was the only wizard who could stop a deadly virus plaguing Virgo. He also knew about the devastation the people from Terran had done to the forest.

Azure must protect her people. Mend the Dark Forest. Create alliances with savage beasts. No biggie, right?

But on coronation day everything changes. Princess Azure isn’t who she thought she was, and that’s a big freaking problem.

Welcome to the Revelations of Oriceran.

A magical world tied to Earth, and nothing like it.

Very good

I am in love with this book series, very exciting! I really like the plot and the caracters, overall a very good book!

This is a great audiobook

This audio book was very good. It was intriguing and magical. Like any of Sarah Noffkes books she got a great narrator that brings this already great book to life i will listen to this again soon

Magic, humour and a great storyline

This audiobook captures your imagination and takes you into an amazing world full is magic, intrigue, humour and mystery. This story has great fantasy aspects and some really great characters. The excellent descriptive writing, brilliant storyline and the authors ability to make you connect with the characters shines in this book. The narrator fits the book well and really brings out the humour, sarcasm and various characters personalities. This story draws you in and won't let you go. I loved the fantastic creatures, the magic, the humour laced storyline and the great twists. It held me captive from the first page to the very last and I can not wait for the next audiobook in the series.

Book 2 asap!

I'm obsessed with Oriceran anything and cannot get enough! I started with the Leira Chronicles and have been patiently waiting for the release of Book 5. I absolutely loved this first book in Soul Stone and just may have to just sit down and actually read because I need to know what happens next. Keep up the great work guys! I'm so excited to see what comes next in the Oriceran Universe...

Great story!

I love the story line and the unique characters. Although the narration was good, her character voices all sounded very similar.

Prejudice sucks

The obvious parallels to real life prejudice are evident throughout this book. On all sides. The witches are just as prejudiced against the Terrans as the humans towards them.
That being said it is a good story
Looking forward to the next one

Quest Worth Taking

This story follows Princess Azure's quest to save her mother and protect the crown. The world building and characters had me entranced - the language not so much. It is mentioned that witch's are foul mouthed but in my opinion the F bomb was dropped unnecessarily and way to often. The narrator is fantastic with easy to understand and distinguishable character voices. I look forward to more in this series and from this author.

snarky magical sass

Azure, I love Azure. she's fun, sassy, and on a mission. her friend Monet kind of bugged me a little, but maybe it's because I'm used to reading about strong male leads? this story is really interesting about the way it sticks technology and magic on the same planet and of course there is distrust and lies. there's two different types of views trying to survive. it's a really different mix. there is no adult content.

An exciting, enjoyable read.

My seventh read from author Sarah Noffke and the first collaborative effort of authors Sarah Noffke & Marth Carr. AMAZING READ! Well-written with well-developed, memorable characters. An exciting, enjoyable read. Narrator Carly Robbins adds greatly to the book’s enjoyment. I can’t wait for the next book.

Powerful Imagination Enjoyable

In the world of Oriceran there are two major races: The people from Virgo, wizards, and witches living in harmony with nature; and the Terrans, humans whose origins are Earth, and which use the power of nature for their own benefit. Princess Azure will soon be the queen of Virgo, but during the coronation ceremony, something is discovered about her. She will need to demonstrate to her people that she is a valid queen, but she also will need to recover something for her ill mother and fight back the Terrans and their evil plans.

I have already listened to several series by Sarah Noffke, and I love her way of creating characters and bringing them to life. She has a very powerful imagination and is able to create different and credible worlds. Up to now I just knew her books about Dreamtravelers, so I was curious about this new adventure. I have to say that I really enjoyed it, but there was somehow something missing that I found in her other books.

I found the main character’s personality a bit less attractive than the main characters’ in her other books, and I also missed a bit part of the balance and poetry. I also found the story quite predictable. I’m not saying this is a bad book, it was very good, but I just can’t help but compare it to her other works.

We are up here against a fight between good and evil, non-humans and humans, nature and technology. This dualism has been used again and again since the early times of the first fantasy books and works, but I just maybe expected a more original approach.

This is just the first book in a series, and it ends on a massive cliffhanger. I would have appreciated if there was at least a conclusion to the first story-arc.

Carly Robins delivered a wonderful narration. Giving a different voice and style to every character. Simply perfect.

Despite the minor issues, I am curious about where this is going to, and I am sure the best is yet to come.
