Story
Princess Natasia is the eldest child of the Emperor Andreth, ruler of the Four Realms. If she was a boy, she’d be the unquestioned heir to the throne. But as a girl, her main duty in life is to marry someone her father can shape into his successor. Everything changes when an unknown, would-be assassin nearly takes Tasia’s life. Someone wants to destabilize the Empire - but who? Unsure of whom he can trust, the Emperor realizes that his daughter might be his best option for an heir.

It’s a good story with lots of potential, but the narrative was a little stilted.

Fantastic
I was quickly drawn into the story and loved the time period. Hoping for more investigation as it goes on but this was a solid intro story. The narrator did a good job with all the characters and brought the world to life. I was given a free copy of this audio in return for an unbiased review.

A modern OTR
I loved it. When I first listened to it I didn’t know it was a story with lesbians. Not that that bothered me I just didn’t know. I had read a previous review who said because it was written about the 1920s that it felt dated. I was flabbergasted. Does this reviewer not know history or historical fiction or anything to do with something that happened before yesterday. This doesn’t feel David at all. The old time radio shows I listen to didn’t have lesbians in it. So that’s new! Anyway onto my review I loved it, I loved it and I loved it! I was happily surprised I just wish they would’ve had more investigation, but I’m hoping this was just to introduce Josie Ella and Matthew as the main characters. If not I’ll still listen I just don’t know what it will consist of so I’m sure my guess is right… I hope! I can’t wait to read the next one and the next one and then the next one. I am so excited for this Siri’s! Old time radio is a talent that has gone bye and bye and I’m glad this author is bringing it back in a new way. So as far as my opinion goes bring them on.

A Taming of the Slew
This was not really totally bad for the first story. It does need some attention and maybe some tweaking in the future if this genre is going to be pursued by the author. It was rather mild and the narrator was far too amateurish in her narration to bring much excitement, which would have perhaps spiced this one up and made it remotely engaging. It is set in the 20s and therefore makes it dated, but it could be so improved by a more experienced narrator. It was the first, it was short. It offered a teaser of the next installment and yet it was rather lackluster in this particular story, which was in no way titillating and a narrator who nearly put me to sleep. The narrator lacked inflections, variations of intonation and seemed as bored to narrate as she made the listener. Glad I did not spend a lot on this first attempt, the only thing enjoyed was perhaps the title, the graphic design and it was not painfully long. For this to be a mystery, including a lesbian element, set in the roaring 20s, this was far too tame!
