Publisher's Summary

Elodie, Princess of Zelnon, has a mission. More than one to be exact. She has certain things to check off of her list: save the knight, escape Malediction, and overthrow her stepmother Fiona's rule of her kingdom. One of those alone is daunting, but all three? 

As she travels with Prince Daire, an overzealous bird, and a white tiger with silver stripes, she is forced to make decisions that will affect them all. Each step they take brings a new challenge to overcome. Death becomes a very real possibility and she has to make a decision that alters someone she cares about irrevocably. 

Saving herself is becoming increasingly impossible, and each choice seems to make matters worse. As they travel through the nightmare realm of Malediction, rescuing her knight might be the last thing she's able to do. Trusting her allies becomes even more difficult and in the end, Malediction might claim them after all.

Great adventure

I love this series, this is the second in the series, the story is enchanting, a princess, a prince, a talking bird, a moody tiger and a handsome knight. They seem to get out of one thing just to find themselves stuck in another. This is a really great series from an amazing author. The story gets a 5 star rating but Unfortunately for me I struggled with the narrator which is why it’s an overall 3 rating, I still recommend this book as the story is so worth it.

good

Elodie is frustrating me at times, and can't see ie acknowledge what us blatant to me!!! On to the finish and closure. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

One you will want to read and not listen to

The plot is okay, nice characters but I just could not get into this story. I think this one may be better to read.

I didn't not care for the narrator at all, There are repeating of words. I didn't care for most of his character voices. He needs to speed up and give some emotion. My mind just doesn't work that slow At times I had a hard time keeping the characters straight. I didn't care for his normal voice but had he done more acting as a person speaks I most likely would have enjoyed it more.

Bottom line I didn't care for this but mostly due to the narrator.

The Bespelled Knight

I really love the story and the nonstop action and adventure. However you may want to read this one. This is book 2 in the series and I would highly recommend book 1 first. However book 1 and book 2 have different narrators. I found this one hard to listen to. I found my self drifting a lot. Everyone has different taste in narrators so I would recommend a sample listen before purchase.

a story with twists and turns

After the breathtaking ending of the first book, I was looking forward to the next one. Princess Elodie is on a mission to find her knight and a way back home. During the jurney with prince Daire and the two animals she gets to know Daire much better.
The world building was great. Everything got a fairytale touch and still feels a bit dark and dangerous. The author Dawn Brower finds the ideal balance between the characters' world of thought and an exciting storyline.
I liked Elodie more than in the first book. Her reflections become more centred. In this story I learned more about prince Diare. It was hard to resist his charm and I could easily understand Elodies struggle with her emotions. It’s getting more and more dangerous for the group and the twists and turns of the story were great. The end hit me unexpectedly and hard – I can’t wait to get the next book in this series.
Every audiobook in this series got a different narrator. This one is narrated by Rudy Duriex. In my opinion it sounds a little bit choppy and I didn’t like his interpretation of female voices so much. But I enjoyed his way to transport the emotions to the listener.
