Realms of Mist and Ash

Fae Witch Chronicles Series, Book 2

De: J. S. Malcom

Narrado por: Rachel Dulude

Getting into Faerie is risky enough. Getting out again may prove impossible.

Entering Faerie is enough of a risk, never mind trying to free a changeling. That's never been done before, but that's exactly what has to happen if I'm going to rescue my best friend. So when I run into a half-blood thief who offers to help, I can't exactly say no. I mean, the guy seriously hates the fae. After all, one of them knocked up his mother.

Digging deeper into the labyrinthine fae city kingdom, we soon start to unravel a mystery I never could have imagined. Namely, how it came to be that just a few fae now control all of the magic in their world. We also learn that some of the missing humans have been spotted. Not my friend, but we must be getting closer.

But when I get waylaid by fae slave traders, find myself stripped of magic and held captive in a noble house, and discover a secret that might turn the tables of magical power in Faerie, I end up with way more than I bargained for. But I also seem to have caught the eye of a stunningly handsome fae lord. Hard to resist. And who knows? Maybe he could come in handy. Because right now it's down to me, and I'm up against a ticking clock. It's either escape or die knowing that the next stop for fae magical conquest is the human realm.

Engrossing and cant wait for the next one.

New and exciting well written and captivating. Love the voice of the reader. She is as engrossing as the words. She brings the characters to life.

Fast Paced but detailed

This story is pretty fast paced but there’s no lack of details. I just wish Cassie wasn’t so impulsive. The narrator is one of my favorites. Headed to book three.

Even better than the first!

Loved it! I had more time to enjoy the characters and more time to enjoy the plot. Loved it

Great continuation …

This is the seventh book I have read/listened to by this author. This book picked up where the first one left off-Cassie is going to the fae realm to look for her friend and finds much more than she bargained for, (including some of the humans reported to be missing yet not). The majority of this book is in this realm so we start to get a good glimpse into how the society there works.
Cassie learns of a third realm, gets caught by slavetraders and forced into service with a noble family. With her magic gone she needs to find out why, how to get it back and how to help the people trapped in the fae realm. Not to mu ch to ask for right?
I really enjoy how things take a logical path in this story so far- no super convenient moments of unreasonable luck. I love Cassie’s no bs attitude and ‘this is gunna suck but here we go’ approach to things.
This is the second book I have listened to by this narrator. She performs not reads this book. Her emphasis and expression is perfect and brings out the personalities of every character. I would in a heartbeat listen to another book narrated by her.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive / overly descriptive violence, there is a bit of minor swearing.
I downloaded this as a free book offered with my membership on audible and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Good listening

I have enjoyed this fiction story and will follow the rest of the series. Thank you for the good read
