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.

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.

Wonderful book, great narration

The Kraken King was a fantastic adventure and an even better romance. Meljean Brooks’s Iron Seas series has some first rate steampunk world-building, and the Kraken King is my new second favorite of the series (after the Iron Duke). Zenobia and Arik were well-developed characters, and their adventures kept me biting my nails in nervous suspense.

like a Audiobook version of my favorite movie

I love the swashbuckling inkslinging witticisms in this book as much as in one of my all-time favorite movies: The Mummy. I love the hero and heroine, the storyline, the action, the adventure, and the narration. One of my favorites.
