Great Listen

This is not your usual fantasy story. Expect to read about atypical magical creatures. Lots of action, adventure, intrigue, and magic with a cliffhanger ending that'll leave you on the edge of your seat for the next book.

Strong character development and growth. Detailed world building.

Magical

Disclaimer: This audiobook was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. An interesting story of a magical world with many different races and mystical creatures. I enjoyed the world of Nomadia greatly, the different cultures, races and the magic that the book has. I also enjoyed the way the book is written to tie everything together as the book progresses. My heart goes out to the 4 different characters and their perspectives although I feel like the there could be more drive to the current 'villain' character in the book, she feels a little more like a convenient catalyst and I could not relate to her. Still, I am intrigued by the plot and definitely will pick up book 2. Narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is wonderful. I have enjoyed her portrayal of each characters greatly, and it was not too dramatic that it's intrusive and not too dull. She gave a good balance to everything.
