About this listen
Kingmaker. Soothsayer. Warrior. Mage. Kingdoms would rise and fall for her...if she is ever found.
In the icy North, where magic is might, an all-powerful elite ruthlessly guided by a glacial Queen have grown to dominate the world. Now rebellion is stirring in the rough, magic-poor South, where for the first time in memory a warlord has succeeded in uniting the tribal nations.
Stuck in the middle is Cat - circus performer and soothsayer - safely hidden behind heavy makeup, bright colours and the harmless illusion of the circus. Until someone suspects she's more than she seems....
Captured by the Southern warlord Griffin, Cat's careful camouflage is wearing thin. For how long can - or should - she conceal the true extent of her power? Faced with dragons, homicidal mages, rival Gods and the traitorous longings of her own heart, she must decide: is it time to claim her destiny and fight?
An award-winning fantasy debut with an unforgettable heroine, set against a luminous world on the brink of battle, this is for those who love Ilona Andrews, Laini Taylor or Victoria Aveyard.

Enjoyable but childish
With the dialogue of the main character I constantly forgot her age. Quite sure she’s 22, but honestly ... kind of acts like a child.
The overall story was good, the steamy scenes caught me off guard.
However, the characters were likeable and the performance was absolutely brilliant. Lucy Scott does any amazing job; she brings the story to life!

Hard copy preferred.
The storey was great. The narration wasn't the right vibe for it though. The narrator is talented but I felt as though she didn't portray the characters the way storey intended.

good story
liked the general story, but unfortunately the main character, Cat, got on my nerves a bit. her never ending not funny sarcastic comments got super annoying to the point where I nearly gave up on it. but ultimately glad I listened, decent story.

Not a fan of narrator
I enjoyed that the narrator attempted different accents/tones when other characters are talking, helps connect to them more. However I find that when she was speaking as the main character she made her voice sound more weak and pathetic than the character is. She’s loud mouthed, head strong and wouldn’t talk in the quiet tones that the narrator speaks her in. I also got annoyed by the pronunciations of some words such as beta, fisa, privacy. They were pronounced wrong and annoyed me a bit. I have read the book before without audible and the story captivates me, I can never put it down but I don’t have time to read so I decided to play it in the background so I could still experience it. 100% recommend the book and the series.

Really good
Worth the credit. This was really good. I love the mix of Greek gods, magic and warlords. Cat is a sassy protagonist and Griffin is swoon worthy.
A good mix of slowburn romance without being annoyingly drawn out with some great action, world building and enticing plot.
I don’t really understand the negative reviews about this book on here. There was an abundance of positive reviews and recommendations on goodreads and I’m glad I didn’t let the negative ones persuade me.
Straight onto book two for me.

I LOVE THIS BOOK
I love everything about this book. The found family trope - the banter - the spice. It’s so so so so good. The whole series is amazing and I re listen to it all the time. Narrator is great too!

Woah!
I've had this on my shelf for ages but I took a chance and bought the audio. Lucy Scott does a wonderful job of narrating the book and makes all the witty commentary come to life. The story itself is divine and now one of my favourite book series. There is still so much to uncover and I'm loving every minute. Not to mention that Griffin is one hell of a hot warlord and the budding romance between him and Cat sets me alight.
