About this listen
An empire divided by magic. A nation on the brink of rebellion.
After losing their parents in the last doomed uprising, two siblings will find themselves at the center of an epic struggle for power.
When Ella witnesses an enchanter saving her brother's life, she knows what she wants to be. But the elite Academy expects tuition fees and knowledge. Meanwhile her brother, Miro, dreams of becoming one of the world's finest swordsmen, wielding his nation’s powerful enchanted weapons in defense of his homeland.
After Miro departs for war, the void he leaves in Ella's life is filled by a mysterious foreigner, Killian. But Killian has a secret, and Ella’s actions will determine the fate of her brother, her homeland, and the world.

From the title and image of this book I got the impression it would mainly focus on Ella, it doesn’t and at first I was disappointed as she seemed to get left behind in mainly focusing on her brother Mira’s journey. It ends up probably being split 50/50 between the two characters and thankfully they have equally captivating stories to draw you in and keep you in suspense. I really do recommend this book, especially as the narrator is fantastic and really the journey is so captivating in a large part because of the chosen narrator, Simon Vance, it’s one of the best stories I have listened to in a long time. I have already purchased the rest of the series I have such high hopes for it.
Really, Really Good 🐨

It's a very well written debut novel and the narrator truly brought it to life, just absolutely awesome! I found the character development very exciting, it really had me cheering for the MC's to succeed, and I couldn't wait to see how they grew and where their story arcs tooks them (which I found both equally enjoyable). Some parts of the story seemed to just flash by rather hastily, but overall, i thought the pacing was pretty good.
All in all, it's quite a good read, and i think anyone who likes fantasy will find something enjoyably in this - you certainly shouldn't regret the purchase.
What a gem!

The conflict is okay, although i am 4 hours into the book and only now does the plot begin to unfold. The main character doesnt really seem to have a major arch in the story, leaving her brother Miro to steal the show. That might change later on, if i manage to talk my self into finishing this book. It has being quite boring as the development draaaaaaaags. The dialogue is very cliche and there is to much focus on love stories. There are several sex scenes so far and a lot of heavy sexual tension and nudity, which is fine, but i dont see how it helps the story. Which brings me to my headline, its a book for adolescents telling the story of adolescents figuring out this whole new world of sexuality and their new urges and desires. I just so happens that these adolescents can do magic and use swords (no puns intended!)
The writer is a great wordsmith. I really enjoy his phrasing and structure, which gives a very poet spectrum to the narrative sometimes. But still, the story itself does not please this reader.
However, that is just MY opinion. I came here to leave a review because i always read these before i pick out book. Hope this helps.
Fantasy for adolescents..
