I'm going to try to read the book instead.

I wanted to like this one, especially living around DC, but the narration was really rough. I'm not saying you have to be an amazing voice actor to be able to read an audiobook but some level of ability to read/speak naturally and not add an upward inflection to 90% or the sentences with nary a question mark in site. The other times is almost like listening to a matter-of-fact documentary. There's no natural emotion in the reading. I'm not meaning this to be harsh as, I know I do not have the skills to narrate for a living, just wanted to share my experience with this audiobook.

I thought I had already reviewed this but will happily do it again. Really sweet story, fun world mechanics and wonderful characters (Cici might be my favorite).

E. J. Noyes is an incredible writer and Abby Craden could read me the dictionary and I'd die happy.

Would absolutely love another story featuring Jane and Morgan.
Can not recommend this one enough.

If you have been searching for beautifully written LGBT representation in fantasy genre or if you have just been searching for excellent fantasy this series is brilliant. Excellent, and much awaited, continuation from Princess of Dorsa. Characters are well written and grew in the first book, with the second providing insight into their pasts and fleshing the world out further. Within familiar fantasy themes the is a well formed interesting world with unique style and rules. Sweet but intense love story mixed in with strong female characters (mindful of brief mentions of past abuse but it is not gratuitous and is important to acknowledge within the context given - both in first and second book). Exciting twists between who's villain and who is ally. Thank you, Eliza for book two! It is amazing. I was excited that Elizabeth read for book two as well, and hope she continues to do so for any future in the series. Beautiful, clear voice, with changes for different characters and regional accents.
I love this series and had yet to find another that I enjoyed this much within LGBT scifi/fantasy genre. Highly recommend giving it a chance.
Thank you, again.
Bought the hard copy and was thrilled the audio was released shortly after for when I had to commute again. Am excited for this series to continue. If you have not already, read the first! 10/10

Good story overall.

Not a bad story. Definitely feels for a younger audience in language/tone and voice of characters. Also it could be the narration - Brenda does a fine job but for even the exciting parts her tone remains even and stead, somewhat airy which ramps down the tension by a lot. Again, not a bad story overall and I did enjoy it. Also looks like it will be a 4 part series so if you end up liking this, there is definitely more of the world waiting (second book doesn't have these characters in it but the third does.)

To Eliza Andrews: Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart thank you for writing this book. I can not wait for the next in the series. During my early formative years, figuring out I was bi was a hugely scary prospect. Thankfully I fell in to theatre, which was a widely supportive community, but I wish books like this we're available when I was in the middle of it - brilliant stories with good representation. Thank you, again.

To everyone else: This is an amazing story for fans of multiple genres. There's a sweet under current romance amidst a political coup set into a fantasy world. So much is set for this to continue to be a great series. If you love scifi/fantasy get it! If you like mystery and intrigue with a host of intertwining storylines and motives, get it! If you are part of the LGBT community wanting an exciting fantasy based story with some beautiful representation - get this book!!! Audio was lovely too. Took a few chapters to get used to voice/characters but Elizabeth Saydah does an incredible job. Honestly, I can't recommend this enough.
