Publisher's Summary

Elena has found the power in her voice - now she must decide how to use it

Finally accepted as a mage, Elena struggles with her commonborn roots. And when disaster strikes the kingdom, she can't shrug off the death toll as the mageborn have always done. Yet the limitations of her spoken magic hold her back - both in saving lives among the people and in competitions in the Academy's arena. 

In desperation she turns to an unlikely source of assistance - Prince Lucas. But just as she begins to master her powers, she finds herself the pawn of stronger forces. 

With everything she's struggled for almost within her grasp, she must decide what - and who - is worth sacrificing to come into her full power and take her place among the mages. 

If you enjoy strong heroines, fantasy worlds, adventure, intrigue, and romance, then try the Spoken Mage series now, starting with Voice of Power.

Good Read

Book 2 was a great continuation of the series. It was a good continuation of Book 1 and I am looking forward to listening to Book 3. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves light, romantic fantasy.

The narrator was good and easy to understand.

This book was provided free for an honest review.

Such an Amazing Series!

I loved this first book in this series, and this second book is just as good if not better than the first. It has all the tension and mystery with the same level of action and adventure and wonder. I love all the characters and this storyworld.

The audiobook narrator does an excellent job! So easy to listen to and I highly recommend!

A bit frustrating

I would like to see Eleanor grow a bit more. No one has a perfect life. There are always gray areas, not everything is black and white. She needs to start showing more understanding for all around her not just some. Her tunnel vision made the story too frustrating.

book 2!

loved the plot and the narrator did good distinguishing character voices.
epidemic in abenlee and Elana turns 18 meaning conscription or let her little sister do it?
very much enjoyed. made this Momma WANT to fold laundry and work because I could listen while I worked

Great second book!

The sophomore installment of The Spoken Mage series further develops the world created by Melanie Cellier. We get a chance to leave the academy and see Elena and her classmates deal with an epidemic of green fever in another part of the country. Elena grows in relationships with the other mages and her powers. We also see her sacrifice herself for others as only she can do.
A terrific clean fantasy book by a great author.
I was given this audiobook for free and have voluntarily left this review.

Yes!! So much fun!

I am loving this series!! The concept of the story is so different and I'm so curious to see where the author takes it! I have such a long commute that audiobooks are the only way to go for trying to read and this series is keeping me at the edge of my seat.

Loved this series!

This series completely took me by surprise! I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it, but I was honestly so great! I never felt bored or lost. The characters were impossible not to feel connected to. I loved that the romance was there, but not overwhelming. Sometimes books that have battles in them can be overwhelming, but I thought the war scenes here were perfect. I loved the elements of magic, and the setting, both the palace and her family's village. Truly one of the best series I've read in a while.

*I bought the first book, but was given the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in exchange for an honest review.

excellent book! enjoyable story, great voice :)

excellent book! enjoyable story, great voice :) couldn't put it down! thank you very much.

Awesome

An engaging continuation of the story of Elena as she navigates her new status as the only spoken mage. Character development is wonderfully supported by the complex and intriguing plot. Just as with book one, narration was on point and only enhanced the work.

Thank you for writing clean fiction

It is rare these days to encounter a writer that produces clean fiction. This series is a gem. It is a series that you can feel happy to have your children read. Thank you so much.

As far as the story goes, it is fun to listen to. The narrator is great. Melanie has created an interesting and compelling system of magic. The is lots of intrigue, danger, and fun social interactions.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series.
