The Kraken King

Iron Seas, Book 4

De: Meljean Brook

Narrado por: Alison Larkin

A former smuggler and thief, Ariq--better known as the Kraken King--doesn't know what to make of the clever, mysterious woman he rescues from an airship besieged by marauders. Unsure if she's a spy or a pawn in someone else's game, Ariq isn't about to let her out of his sight until he finds out.

After escaping her fourth kidnapping attempt in a year, Zenobia Fox has learned to guard her identity vigilantly. While her brother ,Archimedes, is notorious for his exploits, Zenobia has had no adventures to call her own--besides the stories she writes. But when she jumps at the chance to escape to the wilds of Australia and acquire research for her next story, Zenobia quickly discovers that the voyage will be far more adventurous than any fiction she could put to paper.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" The Kraken King is action packed from beginning to end as Brook ensures there is literally never a dull moment." ( RT Book Reviews)

Very sad

I waited forever to get this book in audio. I have all the other Iron Seas in audio. I'm very sad to say, while the story was on par with the others in the series, I really didn't like the reader. She uses a very *baby-like* voice for Zenobia. For me it really didn't fit the character at all. I don't think Alison Larkin would be wrong for another type of character or book but for this book I feel strongly this was a bad pairing.

Adventure and Action

The adventure and action was equally distributed throughout this audiobook with steaming romance sprinkled evenly throughout for heat. I found this a most alluring book. Hard to put down. Chapters flew along at a great tempo.

I can't figure out though why my daughter (a single active attorney and world traveler) always listens to these audiobooks on a faster speed? I feel it may distort the various voices. Maybe with not many hours to spare she and many other professionals have to speed it up just to get through a few books when they have minimal time.

Thank God for retirement!!! lol

Amazing

This is an amazing series well worth the time and credits. The characters are alive and the world is so very different but fun

I loved it!

This book was absolutely amazing! I loved the setting, how the heroine grew and changed and the ending was so good!

My favorite in the series!

I really enjoyed most of this series. The steampunk science fiction elements have always been very interesting to me. But this book really stepped up on the romantic tension as well as the political intrigue. I think I especially liked Zenobia as our heroine.
