Legendary for their bloodlust, sorcery, and fierce, dark beauty, the Fey have swept across three continents and never face defeat. But now, in defiance of their Black King, the warrior-prince Rugar and his fearless daughter, Jewel, have marshaled an invasion farce to meet its ultimate challenge: Blue Isle, glistening beyond impregnable rocks and raging waters.
A people of simplicity and faith, untainted by intrigue, enchantment, or war, the Blue Islanders have never before been invaded. But their young prince, Nicholas, dreams of battle and will rally his countrymen against the onslaught of the Fey, even as the Islanders discover a deadly, undreamed-of power of their own. So begins a conflict that must ultimately destroy one race or the other - or both.

Now I have to see if I can afford more volumes in the series. o_O
Enhanced by great narration

If you could sum up The Sacrifice in three words, what would they be?
Military - Fey - Acceptance.Would you be willing to try another book from Kristine Kathryn Rusch? Why or why not?
Yes. Although, I became distracted on several occasions, in the end I did like the book. I am curious as to what come next.What does David DeSantos bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I'm not really sure, I almost wonder if I would have been better off reading the book before listening.Any additional comments?
At first, I had a difficult time actually getting into the story. There is a lot of detail about military might and execution, if your into that. I discovered it was rather easy to become distracted, allowing my thoughts to wander while listening and yet had no need to rewind. Normally, when I'm distracted from "listening" to an audiobook, I "must" rewind, because I can't bear to miss out on anything in the story. Not so here. About 2/3 of the way in, the story finally had my full attention, although that could have been the effect of a 5 hour road trip. It wasn't bad, but neither was it great. Maybe this is a book I should have read rather than heard.Fey, humans, red caps, war, politics, faith and religion, ruthlessness, military, military tactics, island life, magic, visions, shape shifting, doppelganger, the preciousness of life, strife with self and others over choices made, holy water, family, friends and enemies.
Whew! This was a very long audio book!!!

I disagree about the narrator as well. He does great character voices but his narrator voice makes me want to scream. If I was reading this book instead of listening to it, I'd be scanning like crazy to get to a little action every now and then.
Only die hard fantasy fans, desperate for a read and with unending patience should try to read this book. I have to finish it now because that's how I roll but others should take heed.
Also glad it was free and I AM a fantasy reader

The reader is average, but not even a great reader could have saved this one.
I'm quite surprised that this is so bad, as Rusch normally writes interesting characters and situations that are very enjoyable.
Ms. Rusch can and has done so much better.

My disappointment comes in craving more character development. Some of the minor players do more reflection than the "main" characters. For me, developing a character's motives is very important. Some of that development felt like an afterthought since it was delivered in large chunks & not introduced gradually throughout the novel.
I do plan to download the next volume of the series because the world created by Rusch stirs curiosity. I hope that now that the world has been established the characters will get some more growth.
A well-designed universe

Sadly, the characters in the book didn't have the personality to enchant, enthrall, or 'hook' me. It's important for me to connect with, or 'like' the characters, it's what keeps me going to the end. I'm struggling to the halfway point in this book, I haven't found a reason to like or get to know the cardboard characters.
It reads more like a dry history text book, so here's to hoping the second half of the book becoming engaging!
Great marketing plan Audible!!!!
