About this listen
In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and Fire, a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic, and the two strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom.
Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back - even for just a little while - is to steal love from others.
Wren is a source - a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren - the only caretaker to her ailing father - has spent her life hiding her secret.
When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.
Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them - that is, if they don’t kill each other first.

Solid story, very fun listen
Really enjoyed this one, was engaged and invested with the characters and world. I love the way that Tamsin's narration and character voice shifts as the story progresses to showcase how [plot thing] was happening.
Voice acting was good all round, though the VA for Wren's portions would occasionally pause in the wrong spots but it wasn't a major issue, just made some of the dialogue or narration strange.

Simple story, poor narration
Simple and easy story, more aimed at teens or kids. The narration was terrible and very robotic, which probably made it worse than it could have been.

Good book poor narration
I really enjoyed the story and the characters and everything about the writing. Unfortunately the narrator for Ren’s POV was extremely hard to listen to. There was a pause after every word, like a full stop. The audio quality and volume would change from sentence to sentence. It was very jarring and hard to concentrate on the story.
If you’re tossing up between the physical book and audiobook I’d go with the actual book.
