À propos de cet audio

Sixteen-year-old sharpshooter Amani Al'Hiza never doubted she'd escape the miserable one-horse desert town where she was born. Getting out had always been the plan. But she never figured she'd wind up running for her life - with a boy wanted for treason.

When Amani enters a disastrous shooting contest against Jin, a rakish foreigner, she has no idea of his connection to the ongoing war between the ruthless Sultan of Miraji and his exiled son, the Rebel Prince. But soon the pair are fleeing across a desert crawling with vicious bandits, terrifying ghuls, and powerful djinni, and the sultan's army is getting closer every day.

When Amani and Jin stumble across the ruins of a town destroyed by an unearthly fire, it's clear the war's stakes are higher than either of them realized. The Rebel Prince has a secret weapon, and now he wants Amani to join his revolution.

All Amani ever wanted was to escape the desert and find adventure - but will the desert let her go?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Narrator Soneela Nankani blends sass, longing, grit, and tenderness to make Amani and her fantastical world believable.... Nankani shifts easily as she presents adventure, rebel confrontations, humor, romance, and a huge cast of realistic and magical characters." (AudioFile)

It was interesting, but I realize that I don't really appreciate the "rebel army" trope, if you can call it that. As soon as it's named, the story completely turns around, right in the middle of the book, and I'm just disappointed, especially when the main character had no intention of accomplishing this quest, but is forced to.

Also, I had a hard time following the story, especially because I listened to this book for the most part and I couldn't attach the names to the characters. It's certain that these are not names that my ear is used to hearing, much less remembering. So, when a character (who presented himself as really important) came back in the story, I had no idea who he was, and the twist failed in my case. 🫠

In short, a lot of potential, but I didn't manage to get hooked!

A good book, just not for me

I'm shocked this book isn't more popular! it's like a combination between "We hunt the flame" and "Percy Jackson" with a dash of "Shadow and bone." Please be aware that the last book has, much like the shadow and bone trilogy, a bit of a spicy scene, it's not super descriptive but it's not entirely fade to black. but seriously this trilogy is fantastic!
ps. the third book is on here but for what ever reason it isn't listed as part of the series.

this was Amazing!!!
