About this listen
Her world-altering secret can’t be hidden much longer...
Elloren Gardner hides the most powerful secret in all Erthia — she is the Black Witch of Prophecy, and destined to triumph…or be used as the ultimate weapon of destruction.
Separated from everyone she loves, isolated and hunted, Elloren must turn to the last person she can trust — her fastmate, Commander Lukas Grey. With the Mage forces of Gardneria poised to conquer all of Erthia, Elloren has no choice but to ally with Lukas and combine their power to keep herself out of the hands of Gardnerian leader Marcus Vogel…the holder of the all-consuming Shadow Wand.
With just weeks to train to become a warrior, and no control over her magic, Elloren finds unexpected allies among those under orders to kill her. It’s time to step up. To fight back. And to forge onward through the most devastating loss yet.

I don’t remember the other two books annoying me as much but that doesn’t mean they didn’t. The biggest problem I had was the use of severe to describe someone’s features, situation or scene! It’s being used way too much and in such succession of other severe characters, that happened in the first few chapters. I thought it was meant to be used sparingly and to emphasise something significant or unusual, such as his jaw was severely sharp, I could imagine it cutting butter? Weird but okay. Or the sene was severe, there was blood splatter everywhere along with amputated limbs flung around the room. Idk. I just don’t think it should be used as much as it being used by authors and I just had enough of the word in this book. I’ve read plenary of books with the word being used but it’s not as common and I think only used a handful of times.
The other word was thing. It happens near the end, you will know when it starts. I was seriously considering skipping, it was used 20 ish times in one scene. I didn’t count but it was definitely more than what was needed. We need a different word. Like creature or monster. Go between them but don’t keep repeating, we know what you’re talking about.
If the author reads, I really enjoyed your stories you did such a good job but please work on stopping the over use of words, it felt like babble, or trying to get your word count up. It really affected the flow of the story and other people could just stop listening or reading to your books. I’m glad I kept going but seriously it was bad.
Good
