Camellia Beauregard is a Belle. In the opulent world of Orleans, Belles are revered, for they control beauty, and beauty is a commodity coveted above all else. In Orleans, the people are born gray, they are born damned, and only with the help of a Belle and her talents can they transform and be made beautiful. But it's not enough for Camellia to be just a Belle. She wants to be the favorite - the Belle chosen by the queen of Orleans to live in the royal palace, to tend to the royal family and their court, to be recognized as the most talented Belle in the land.

The Wizard's Council of Tarador was supposed to tell young Koren Bladewell that he is a wizard. They were supposed to tell everyone that he is not a jinx, that all the bad things that happen around him are because he can't control the power inside him, power he doesn't know about. The people of his village, even his parents, are afraid of him, afraid he is cursed. That he is a dangerous, evil jinx.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 68
For most of human history, the rules of power were clear: power was something to be seized and then jealously guarded. This "old power" was out of reach for the vast majority of people. But our ubiquitous connectivity makes possible a different kind of power. "New power" is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. It works like a current, not a currency--and it is most forceful when it surges. The battle between old and new power is determining who governs us, how we work, and even how we think and feel. New Power shines fresh light on the cultural phenomena of our day, from #BlackLivesMatter to the Ice Bucket Challenge to Airbnb, uncovering the new power forces that made them huge. Drawing on examples from business, activism, and pop culture, as well as the study of organizations like Lego, NASA, Reddit, and TED, Heimans and Timms explain how to build new power and channel it successfully. They also explore the dark side of these forces: the way ISIS has co-opted new power to monstrous ends, and the rise of the alt-right's "intensity machine."

Very enjoyable. Good story, strong characters
The narration was very clever. Both narrators were invested in the story and the swapping between them gave a more personal toich to the story. My favourite line, probably to paraphrase, was "Magic is just science you don't understand yet"

I found the jumping around between time and characters difficult at first but got the hang of it after restarting the book 3 times,I found the number of characters with similar names very difficult but with a bit of tweaking would be a good movie!

Childish Rubish
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I the story had made sense and been written by someone who had a bit more of an idea of how to string a few words together
What didn’t you like about the narrators’s performance?
the story was so bad it was difficult to rate the narrators performance
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from WaR: Wizards and Robots?
All of it!
