About this listen
Forced to appease the policies of a foreign fiefdom, Phenmir must do the unthinkable: harvest organs from infants.
Ten years ago, a new generation of children began to manifest abilities from the gods. Now, nearly half of the continent has chosen to graft the organs granting the abilities into adults. These gifted children are no longer the only ones with divine power.
Phenmir will no longer participate, but can he repent his sin before all morality is lost?
Meanwhile, Aerhee will give all to preserve the process of harvesting, silencing those who oppose her people.
Will this land of peace resort to the barbaric practice of war? In a battle of preservation and progression, there can only be one victor.

Organ-harvesting political fantasy
Listen up you perding culfs! I just finished listening to the audiobook Elegy of a fragmented vineyard by Kaden Love and if you want some organ-harvesting political fantasy this is for you!
That’s right, the magic system in Elegy is harvesting organs from babies to get powers. What a doozy of a concept! Along this journey we explore the complicated morals that arise in civilization from such a practice and the conflict that ensues.
But we also explore the powers granted, which are really interesting in how they are presented and play within this world - shape shifters, fortune tellers, just to name a few.
We get several pov’s from different houses across the lands of Facet that really give us a large picture of everything at play. I think Phenmir, an old surgeon conflicted with the harvesting process was my favorite character. But we are also treated to some flashbacks from one of our pov’s and some interesting Sanderson-style interludes
It might just be my preference for not being that interested in political stories, but it felt pretty slow throughout, with rebellion organizing, resource management, exploring history and not that much action, except for a monster hunt and a battle at the end, but even so, I can see that the political stuff was well done enough to keep me interested in what would happen next.
Overall, I had a great time with Elegy!
If you’re not into political fantasy but still want to read something by Kaden, check out his novella Beastcall which was a terrific monster hunting hoot!
