About this listen

Emily is a teenage girl pulled from our world into a world of magic and mystery by a necromancer who intends to sacrifice her to the dark gods. Rescued in the nick of time by an enigmatic sorcerer, she discovers that she possesses magical powers and must go to Whitehall School to learn how to master them. There, she learns that the locals believe she is a "Child of Destiny" - someone whose choices might save or damn their world, a title that earns her both friends and enemies.

A stranger in a very strange land, she may never fit in to her new world, and the necromancer is still hunting her. If Emily can't stop him, he might bring about the end of days.

I originally chose to listen to this book because I love Tavia Gilbert as a narrator. And she did not disappoint. Tavia did a fantastic job.

The book itself was good. The story line was great but it was just a few little items that brought it down. Chapter 1 was really the most awkward chapter but then it got into a rhythm and the story flowed from there. Plus you can tell a man wrote this book. There is just a few examples where you go that is not how a woman/girl would do that.

It tells a story of a young girl Emily thrust into a completely world. in this new world, where she has lots of raw power. She uses her knowledge of her own world to understand the magic. she also brings brings basic ideas from her old world which starts a chain reaction to improve the new world. in the meantime she is studying like mad and learns combat training as the necromances and other baddies are after her.

The characters are done well. The storyline was good. And narration was well done

It took me a few chapters to really get into the book as this is the first time I have listened to anything read by Tavia Gibert.
The book has pop culture references strewn throughout that brought me a few chuckles and a well told story that kept me interested to the end.
I already have the next one ready to go.

Enthralling

What a waste of time. Too much detail. Couldn't get into it. Needs to keep it a bit simpler for people like me who like a good yarn.

Rubbish

Couldn't get further than the first chapter. failed to hold my attention at all. Went on and on about how horrible her life was and that she'd amount to nothing, must have mentioned it ten times. Narrator was quite good though, she tried.

Bored

the story is great, like a female harry potter, a girl pulled from earth into another realm, where she goes to magic school, dragons as well. thoroughly entertaining. performance good but let down by low quality voice sampling rate, im guessing 22kHz meaning every second voice sample is discarded if you compare it to audio cds which are typically 44kHz. this gives it a computerised tinny overtone quite noticeacle at times. if you can tolerate this, and some people wont notice, you will enjoy the story. hopefully audible will one day give these stories the quality they deserve and release them in full studio quality.

bit like a female harry potter series

HEAVILY influenced by Harry Potter, really boring, the reader sounds like someone in their 50s or 60s...

Do you like Harry Potter? Because this is basically Harry Potter but genre swap
