À propos de cet audio
Plagued by fear. Haunted by the sins of her past.
Approaching twenty-five, Katrin Drakos should only be concerned with two things—being crowned Queen of Alentus and marrying her Fated, Kohl.
For five years, she focused on falling in love, on living, on becoming whole again. For five years, she was able to forget what the vile King Nikolaos of Nexos had done to her. For five years, her nightmares did not return.
But then the whispers started. A rumbling of rebellion poised to strike. The King of Nexos had never attacked before. Until now. Until right before the Acknowledgement.
So when a notorious pirate captures her, claiming to have saved her from the lies the leaders have woven into history, Katrin must decide if the enemy from her past has really been her ally this whole time. Decide before the world around her crumbles and not only her power, but the power of all the gods, is lost forever.
Because sometimes, the Fates have other plans.
A Wrecking of Salt and Fire is a new adult book for mature listeners. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.
©2024 E.K. Condos (P)2025 Podium AudioOur heroine experiences trauma, and has some personal struggles as a result. She has lost herself and is trying to sync with the life she had before the bad happened. The sequence of events mid-book gave me whiplash. I was trying to understand why characters did what they did, and lost a sense of "getting to know them" that is necessary in a good, invested read.
The climax of the book had some redeeming qualities. I felt again, connected to the new characters and expected the big reveal - could see that coming from a mile away - but wanted to know what the heck was happening with the politics and who the overall "bad guys" were.
As most of my reads these days, I listened to the audiobook version. 4 narrators: Stella Bloom and Anthony Palmini were great, as usual (Anthony pops in only in the final 2 bonus chapters, sadly). Gail Shalan, 3/5 stars; and Saleem Udean - sorry, but I'll add his narration to my "Nope" list. His rendition was very monotone, unless he was verbalizing a male character yelling. He spoke quickly, mispronounced words and it was difficult to tell if he was verbalizing something a character was saying, or if he was talking about a setting.
I'll shelf this as a "maybe" for picking up book 2 in the series.
Stella Bloom's narration is superb, as always!
