Kingdom of Shadows and Wings

De: Nina Frost

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A world of magic, desire, and intrigue awaits at Flighthaven, where a young woman defies the odds to find her true calling.

Nineteen-year-old Lark Axton has lived her entire life sequestered behind the castle's walls, overshadowed by her overprotective mother. Now, the king has ordered Lark to assume her missing sister’s role as a warrior in training at Aclaris’s flight academy, where the kingdom's sons and daughters train to battle their winged enemies and control dragons.

There’s just one problem. Lark is terrified of flying.

Forced to the deadly training grounds of Flighthaven, Lark must survive the danger that stalks the academy if she wants to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance and survive the upcoming treacherous trial. Unfortunately, her sinfully irresistible, arrogant and downright irritating flight instructor is determined to make her life hell.

But enemies lurk within the academy, and no one is who they seem, including Lark herself. As the trial begins, the same explosive secrets that tore Lark's sister away from Flighthaven now threaten Lark.

With her life hanging in the balance, Lark's ability to unlock the secret magic within her will either save...or kill her.

Kingdom of Shadows and Wings weaves the thrill of dragons, elemental magic, and forbidden romance into an exhilarating fantasy adventure that’s perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Zodiac Academy.

AI Voice is awful, story is okay

In the beginning, I was really impressed with the AI narration. As the book went on, it seems like they stopped quality control checking it. Mispronounced words and strange inflections in the voice certainly took away from the story.

I enjoyed the story and characters.

I do not like the robotic voice! It districts from the story and emotions of the characters.

Horrible AI Narration

Do not listen to the audiobook version. The AI narration is atrocious and does nothing for the story.

Narration is terrible

The AI narration is shockingly poor. I had to read the book with my eyes. The story is generally enjoyable.

Kingdom of Shadows and Wings

First of all, this is the only book that I have listened to narrated by a virtual book and my last. I enjoyed the story but found the narration annoying. It had very little infliction and mispronounced words. ie wound (like a clock) for wound (hurt) and bow (a ribbon) for bow (bow and arrow), I did finish the book but will not listen to the remaining books in the series.

kingdom of shadows and wings

I dislike the AI reading of the book. made hard to understand and to pick out who was speaking in conversation and missed pronunciation

Virtual voice just isn’t the same

You can definitely tell this is a virtual voice. Lacks emotion and depth. But the book itself was good

AI robotic voice

Story is not bad-if you can get past insta love. Still leaves you wondering for the second book

Need to read it not listen to it

I am going to stop listening to it because the AI voice is just not right... I don't want to ruin my experience with the book

Terrible Virtual Narrator

The story is probably good, but I could not get past the terrible Virtual narrator. Mispronunciation of words, saying the word, saying the word explanation mark, totally detracted from the story and my listening experience. I will not purchase another book with a virtual narrator until advancements have been made.
