À propos de cet audio

 Seven hundred years ago, a Black Widow witch saw an ancient prophecy come to life in her web of dreams and visions. Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself for the arrival of its Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself. But she is still young, still open to influence-and corruption. Whoever controls the Queen controls the darkness. Three men-sworn enemies-know this. And they know the power that hides behind the blue eyes of an innocent young girl. And so begins a ruthless game of politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate and love-and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining...

Ce que les critiques en disent

“[The Black Jewels] series...has long been celebrated for its dark sensuality and focus on female characters....[the books] remain crucial foundations of the romantasy genre and paved the way for what followed.”—Paste Magazine

Praise for Daughter of the Blood

“A terrific writer...the more I read, the more excited I became because of the freshness of [her] take on the usual high fantasy setting, the assurance of [her] language, all the lovely touches of characterization that [she slips] in so effortlessly.”—Charles de Lint

“Darkly mesmerizing...[a] fascinating, dark world.”—Locus

“Lavishly sensual...a richly detailed world based on a reversal of standard genre cliches.”—Library Journal

“Vividly painted...dramatic, erotic, hope-filled.”—Lynn Flewelling

“Intense...erotic, violent, and imaginative. This one is white-hot.”—Nancy Kress

“A uniquely realized fantasy filled with vibrant colors and rich textures. A wonderful new voice, Ms. Bishop holds us spellbound from the very first page.”—RT Book Reviews

“Mystical, sensual, glittering with dark magic.”—Terri Windling, coeditor of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror

“Dark, morbid, sinister, and yet it holds you completely fascinated and spellbound by its beauty...One of the most original and readable books in the fantasy genre.”—The 11th Hour

I love this book a ton. I had to get used to the reader because I had my way that the voices sounded...the two are nothing alike. But I have learned to enjoy it.

My husband and I have been trying SO HARD to get through this book. I've read it before and was very excited to share it with him. After listening to another audiobook series we were stoked for this one... except that the narrator is boring, boring, boring.

It almost seems like he doesn't understand what he's saying, or isn't reading ahead of his words: sometimes he'll seem to end a sentence and then notice there's more and read the rest, causing the sentence flow to be very disjointed—a habit that's understandable for a grade school kid but not a professional.

The intonation is monotone, the nuances of sentences are hard to catch, and honestly it's hard even for me, who already knows the story, to catch exciting parts and not drift into thinking about something else. We keep hoping he'll get better but we're more than halfway through and it's becoming apparent that each time we sit down is a struggle.

I've taken to reading paragraphs of the physical book out loud by myself to keep my husband's interest going in between audiobook sections, because otherwise funny parts don't seem funny and intense parts aren't that intense. But the best story in the world doesn't matter with an audiobook if you can't pay attention long enough to listen to it. #Audible1

Amazing story, terrible narrator.
