Throne of Winter

Dark Court: The Fire Fae, Book 1

De: Sophie Davis

Narrado por: Sarah Puckett

She's the fire fae of legend.

He's the warlock heir to the throne of winter.

Maybrie Hawkins is the badass who dominates the Dark Court’s fight pits where fae and shifters battle for powers. The royals chant her name, like she's a goddess instead of a lowly entertainer.

Like all Casters, Kai needs the shared powers of a fae to do more than basic magic on his own. The strongest bonds are forged via love, and it's time for him to find a match.

His sights are set on her.

She's not impressed.

Maybrie doesn't have time to be courted by the prince of winter. A rebellion is brewing, an uprising against the casters. The dome of the Dark court is the only thing protecting them from the frozen wasteland beyond, but the fae are done pandering to the Magicals in exchange for safety.

And Brie doesn’t pander to anyone.

Can Kai keep up?

Imaginative concept

Although this book seemed to take a bit to get going, once it picked up I appreciated the time spent in the beginning laying contextual foundations and establishing characters and relationships. The very imaginative concept stayed true throughout the entire story - no discrepancies noted. Characters were well developed and the relational interactions were authentic and relatable. I initially struggled with the narrator's voice for the main character-it seemed like she dragged out the last syllable in every word in a monotone voice, which was rather annoying, but either I got used to it or it was a tactic used to further characterize the main female character because I didn't notice it later on.

Great overall

Interesting plot line with some holes, why the frozen wastelands being the major one. Worst part was the narration, I almost couldn’t listen to it. She made the main character sound like a valley girl when she’s supposed to be a warrior.

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this book! It had an amazing story line and leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended!

Keeps your attention

This story keeps your attention from start to finish. I can’t wait to hear what happens in book 2!!

I'm obsessed

The whole book just had me pulled in beginning to end!! I admit I was confused at the beginning, but I see, by the end why Davis started the story the way she did, and I think any reader will too.

Davis weaves a tail of royalty-romance, class-feuds, and espionage. Oh and there's fae. take those factors along with the good writing, and mean I don't really know what else any YA lover could possibly want in a story.

Is it cliche? Yes. Do we know where the ending is going with Bree's decision to tell a certain someone about her certain activities? Also, yes. But that doesn't stop me from wanting book 2 RIGHT. NOW. I'm telling you, this series is addicting, and the narrator has such a pleasant. voice! While her range could have been wider for differentiating different characters, she still managed to give each line, each thought the appropriate emotion. Her voice is a pleasant and low rasp that doesn't grate on the ears. you can easily listen for multiple hours! Those traits go a long way in my book! (yes, pun).
