Acerca de esta escucha
A knight in disgrace….
Banished to the cold northern reaches for doing what was right, Lady Maddalena is a knight in exile. Now the reluctant warden of an isolated, snowy castle prison, Lena is determined to keep her head down and serve her two-year sentence. No surprises, no mistakes, and maybe she can salvage the tatters of her life.
A prince of no one….
Broken in body and spirit, Bel lost everything in a single night—his crown, his freedom, his brother. Kept captive in a mountain castle for ten years, Bel has played the human king’s game and bided his time. His chance for escape is coming, but he never planned on this new warden with a kind heart and sense of honor. All the humans have ever shown him is cruelty, but in Lena he finds something much more dangerous—a noble heart that calls to his own.
Their paths were never meant to cross….
As winter settles over their lonely mountain, the war between their people seems further away, and the boundaries between enemies begins to blur. A human knight and avian prince should have nothing between them but hate—yet neither can resist the attraction that grows in the dark of winter.
Their bond is fragile, forbidden, and doomed in the light of day. But for two broken souls, it may just be worth fighting for. If they are willing to pay the price…
Part 1 of the Broken Wings Duet. Part 2 coming December 2022.
Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Grace Draven, Beauty and the Beast, and Jane Eyre will love this atmospheric fantasy romance with strong lady knights, noble lost princes, and enemies to lovers.
This title contains strong language and intimate scenes and therefore is meant for listeners 18+. Minor cliffhanger warning.

Historia
Agenor, Lord Protector of the Fae Isles and right hand of the Mother herself, doesn’t expect anything to still surprise him after twelve centuries of life. Finding a taunting note from an anonymous thief in his wardrobe is enough to rouse his curiosity, though. Enough to do the unthinkable—write back. Then he finds out he’s been exchanging letters with a humble human. Worse, a human challenging him to his face.

When the vicious fae king catches Tessa stealing his powerful gemstones, he demands a cruel punishment. She must leave her family and friends behind and become his future human bride. Tessa has never stepped foot inside the glittering fae city until now—and no mortal is allowed. There, things are far more monstrous than she ever dreamed. King Oberon humiliates her, terrorizes her, and threatens those she loves. But when she escapes, someone far worse finds her.

I was never meant to live an ordinary life, and when I’m dropped from the sky into a haunting forest, facing the barrel of an unknown man’s gun, I believe it to be true. Ruler of Blackwater, Caz Harlow, is the man behind the gun. He’s broody, calculating, commanding and, surprisingly, I can hear every thought that runs through his mind. Because I can, he wants me out of his world and sent back to where I came from, so he makes it his mission to find a way.

Historia
As niece of the king, Elise Lysander cares about two things: sneaking into gambling dens, and avoiding an advantageous marriage at all costs. When her uncle holds the life of her deathly ill father over her head, reluctantly, Elise puts her fate into the hands of Legion Grey, the handsome and mysterious dowry negotiator. He may be arrogant and infuriating, but soon Legion incites a blistering, forbidden passion she can’t ignore.

Great concept, poor execution on the writing side

My one complaint with the story was that sometimes the author described things and explained thoughts way too much: like it took minutes to continue flipping over a thought and reiterating it in every way imaginable.
My only other complaint was with the narrator. Her voice is lovely and smooth, but her delivery was deadpan and she mispronounced a lot of words. With that said, I understand that accessibility is more important with audiobooks, so while it was an interruption for me, I do appreciate the work and am glad it exists for those that need it.
Beautiful Story of a little boring sometimes

The narration was fine, if a little flat. When things start getting more emotional, I found she improved quite a bit, so some of it may be because both main characters are pretty melancholy at the beginning of the story and the choice just might not have worked all the time. I easily got used to it, in any case. There were some issues with the editing of the narration, especially later on. I noticed some of her outtakes were included instead of cut out, having her repeat a phrase a couple times to get it right. No idea whose job it was to check, but they unfortunately didn't do great. (Spoiler for next book's review, but this issue is worse there.)
Still, in the end, nothing can change that I listened to it straight through with little breaks. That alone earns 5 stars in my opinion. Wendel seems to have a real knack for world building and I found myself sucked in so easily. The character relationships (not just the romance) were so wonderful, as well. I adored Alex and especially her relationship with Lena to the point where I cried during an especially emotional part with them. The romance was also incredibly sweet and I gushed once it started to ramp up. Point being, I definitely recommend this story to anyone who thinks this might be up their alley.
Content Warnings (with minor spoilers) for those that need them:
Fantasy racism/genocide
Ableism - fantasy and real life disabilities
Classism - especially towards Alex who grew up on the streets
SA - mentioned but never depicted and it's a plot point. There is also some minor victim blaming
Minor animal abuse - no deaths or major issues
Torture - a major plot point for the story and while not gory, it's depicted, especially in flashbacks
Corpse mutilation - not depicted but talked about
These things are all condemned in story
Some issues but I couldn't stop listening

- I think the premise is there
The not so good:
- something about the execution is flat
- There are a lot of repeating dialogue lines and a reinforcement of 'ideas', I recognize that the reiteration is to make sure the readers 'get it', but for me the pattern is jarringly robotic
- Performance: The narration isn't engaging. The VA has talent with creating different voices, but I just can't get into it. I don't know why but her delivery of the characters is extraordinarily flat. Does this mean the characters are flawed? The writing? Or the performance? I don't know. I am going to try to read the book on KU to see if the book is OK alone.
The indifferent:
- Full disclosure, I listen to audiobooks while doing tedious things. Need to work on an excel for 20 hours at work? Audiobook. Need to clean or organize for two hours? Audiobook. Sick of listening to music while doing a low intensity workout? 100% audiobook. So I really tried to power through this book. I made it to chapter 6 or 7? I never drop books, but if the written form (my preferred medium) continues to somehow nose dive into the land of flat, I will need to drop it. Unfortunately, I need to drop this audiobook.
The good, the not so good, and the indifferent.
