About this listen

A must-listen for fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse, transforming The Hunchback of Notre Dame into a powerful tundra-inspired epic.

Before the massacre at Nariin, Enebish was one of the greatest warriors in the Sky King’s Imperial Army: a rare and dangerous Night Spinner, blessed with the ability to control the threads of darkness. Now, she is known as Enebish the Destroyer - a monster and murderer, banished to a monastery for losing control of her power and annihilating a merchant caravan.

Guilt stricken and scarred, Enebish tries to be grateful for her sanctuary, until her adoptive sister, Imperial Army commander Ghoa, returns from the war front with a tantalizing offer. If Enebish can capture the notorious criminal, Temujin, whose band of rebels has been seizing army supply wagons, not only will her crimes be pardoned, she will be reinstated as a warrior.

Enebish eagerly accepts. But as she hunts Temujin across the tundra, she discovers the tides of war have shifted, and the supplies he’s stealing are the only thing keeping thousands of shepherds from starving. Torn between duty and conscience, Enebish must decide whether to put her trust in the charismatic rebel or her beloved sister. No matter who she chooses, an even greater enemy is advancing, ready to bring the empire to its knees.

Very well written

The multiple plot twists in this book were completely unpredictable ! They definitely made your mouth drop internally if not physically. The performance is perfect, the enebish and the readers voice are synonymous and exactly how I would’ve imagined her speaking.
I won’t say it’s the most emotionally investing book ever or even the best story but it is a cool concept and the book is put together in a way that almost forces you to read the sequel which I have already bought. This author has other books that are good stories as well !!

Finding Courage and purpose

This book was so well written, and I loved the way the characters revealed themselves during the story. I love the fascinating twists of family, magic, and religion, and how, like in life, getting the answers to your prayers, destiny, future (insert believe system here) often don't come in the way we planned, hoped or expected. I also loved the complex emotions: self doubt, guilt, indebtedness, shame, punishment, redemption, self-actualization, confidence and love. I have been a huge fan of Addie's for a long time, and can't wait to read what's next!

Hidden gem

I loved this series!! The tension between the sisters, the politics, the realms! I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I’ve never read the hunchback of N, but I loved this book and the narration. Book one has one narrator, and book two has two, and I enjoyed both a lot.

Cool premise but no emotional investment.

I love the idea of everything. The magic system, the characters, the world. Hell, even the plotline had so much potental, but there is so much of the story that is just told to me without showing or without setup/buildup that there was no real weight behind anything.

There was nothing that compelled me to care or be emotionally invested in anything that happened.

Not bad just boring

Did not live up to expectations based on the description or other reviews. There is nothing about this story that mirrored The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the setting felt paper thin, the plot was utterly predictable, and the characters are cardboard YA templates. Basically 20 year olds with the maturity and foresight of 13 year olds. Just disappointing.

Very Creative

The world the author created is very interesting. And, somewhat related to events in our world, at the general level. The characters are well developed and the story flows naturally, yet nicely unpredictably. I enjoy a story when the protagonist is smarter. The narrator/ performer is very talented.
