About this listen
A city on the verge of collapse. Thousands dead or dying. One girl standing at the crossroads of fate.
Leaving behind bright ballroom lights for a blood-soaked battlefield, Jade is on her way to becoming the hero she never wanted to be. Through the portal, a city on fire beckons, besieged by a flood of monsters. In a race against time to protect what’s left, her only choice is to fight fae above her magic class and shine a light into the darkness.
As the smoke clears, Jade learns that the Dark One’s monsters weren’t the only thing she should be wary of. Something none of them were expecting slipped through the cracks. If dealing with nobles concerned more about pride than sense wasn’t bad enough, she’ll have to figure out how to handle the existences that could wipe a crumbling city from the map if she’s not careful: baby dragons.
Sometimes, the most dangerous problems fly in on tiny wings.

I also find the character a little off putting at times. Given her circumstances she is remarkably rude, arrogant and ungrateful (she is of course 18 though possibly that is on purpose) what I find odds with most though is the story has her diplomatic skill as very very high yet she is displays zero ability to be diplomatic. She attacks people at time for frankly reasonable remarks people who are also high ranking and grieving the loss of a loved one. She issues commands and demands on royalty or uses her powers of compulsion on them or others she has no right to. Then gets upset with the same is don’t to her. Or she will totally ignore people distracted by something silly, even ignoring ghosts who are speaking to her richly deserving what happens as a result I think. Drives me nuts and her inner monologue can over power the story and completely derail the plot for far to long. Would love if the writer could spend more time on the story progression and less on the rabbit hole of unrelated thoughts the characters having at times. There is potential in this story but it wastes to much time on what the character is thinking it missing the point of having something actually happen. All the real action and intrigue is finished with in the first few chapters, after that it is just her interacting with characters and and over explanation of her thoughts and stats. What about the dark one when will we look more at what that is, where it comes form, why it is after her, how it can be stopped. Would also like to she her tell the people who she supposedly trusts with her life about her ability and see how that is affecting them more as well.
Nice to have a heroine that’s more than a barbie doll with armour
