About this listen

Almost 20 years after the barrier between Earth and the Otherworld fell in the Fae Wars, Budapest is balancing on the precipice.

A battle for dominance is brewing between the elite fae and the privileged humans in Eastern Europe. The prejudice between the sides is bubbling with hate and violence.

Nineteen-year-old human, Brexley, has grown up in privilege, but not without heartbreak. After being orphaned, she is taken in by General Markos, living in a walled city rife with power grabs and ruthless political games. Then, one night, the course of her life changes, and Brexley is thrown into the most feared prison in the east. Halalhaz, the House of Death - where you go in but don’t come out. She must learn to live with the worst of fae and human criminals. The rule of hierarchy puts humans on the bottom, where the only way to survive each day is to make alliances with the fae.

Here, she meets the sexy, vicious legend, Warwick Farkas; a myth among man and fae. He is as brutal, cruel, arrogant, and as lethal as the lore says he is. He rules the prison with unchallenged authority. Brexley can’t deny an intense draw to him, one that might cost her life...if The Games - a fight to the death where only one survives - don’t take her out first.

Savage Lands is set in the same world as the Darkness, Collector and Lightness Saga series, but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

I love that this wasn’t like many or any other fantasy novels. It was refreshing. The characters are enjoyable. The story left me wanting more. The tension… that needs to be discovered further! Great read.

Fantasy with a different setting!

So I was super excited for the Budapest mention.
Then I'm listening and yelling out correct pronunciations. sigh.

I just... pronouncing words wrong is very distracting for me.

JFC. They used Google translate WITHOUT the accents! *face palm*

I guess that's why pronouncing "Whore" was no problem.
"Blue" is SO easy, Kék is pronouced like CAKE. long A. Trip over pronouncing this one and you get "Poo".
Kovács is like Smith in English, it's pronounced KoVāCH. Long O, long A. KoVax, is americanized.
Hàz is Hāus. Long A, like it is in German.
halál. the first A is an "au"

Palinka is clear, not brown. It's our version of Vodka.

So annoyed. Migraine forming.

I'm partway through. Hungarian needs work.

Not everything goes as planned, surprises and twists and turns. The vocabulary had me looking up; even though I knew I was alone.

Unexpected

This book took me by surprise as I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It’s not a premise that I’ve read before and for the most part, it was well done. I’m intrigued by the many unanswered questions remaining at the end of this first book and very curious about the overarching plot. I’m looking forward to continuing this series.

Better than expected
