About this listen
Convinced her handsome brother is going to be taken this year, Lina Kirk enlists the help of the mysterious Thomas Lin, her secret crush, and the only boy to ever escape from the palace after winning the love of a queen. Working together they protect her brother but draw the queen's attention.
Queen Eva cast away her heart when her sister died to save the boy she loved. Now as queen, she won't make the same mistake. With the tide rising higher than ever before and the islander's whispering that Eva's magic is failing, she's willing to sacrifice anyone if it means saving herself and her city.
When Thomas is chosen as sacrifice, Lina takes his place and the two girls are forced to spend time together as they wait for the full moon. But Lina is not at all what Eva expected, and the queen is nothing like Lina envisioned. Against their will, the two girls find themselves falling for each other. As water floods Caldella's streets and the dark tide demands its sacrifice, they must choose who to save: themselves, each other, or the island city relying on them both.©2020 Alicia Jasinska (P)2021 Penguin Random House Australia Audio
This was kind of a take on a fairytale, one that's completely new to me, the concept is really interesting, the characters are likeable, well those we're supposed to like.
The story along with pretty good narration, offered a really compelling story that captivated my heart and had my emotions all over the place as a good book should do.
The only note of slight annoyance for me with regards to the narration, and it's really personal preference but the Queen was given a very masculine voice, so much so that for a fair while I wasn't sure if the character speaking was supposed to be the queen or not as it sounded so masculine. I would have much preferred a common feminine voice. I also found i was frequently confused as to who was speaking as the lead females have such similar names, i found it difficult to differentiate between them.
Really quite enjoyable
