À propos de cet audio

Khalani is a prisoner. Takeshi is a guard. Both are slaves to the underground.

Khalani Kanes has never stood on the surface of the earth. In the underground city of Apollo, faith and dreams are as absent as the sun. She longs to visit Genesis, the infamous Domed City and the final place where humanity lives aboveground. But when Khalani is given a life sentence and thrown into prison for a theft she didn't commit, that wish shatters into oblivion.

In Braderhelm Prison, murderers are neighbors, ruthless and cold-blooded guards live to punish, and every second is a battle to survive. She thought the danger lay in befriending criminals and avoiding Takeshi Steele, the nefarious Captain who runs her cell block. But darker traps and secrets await her within the shadows of imprisonment. Khalani's blood will coat the walls in flaming silk before her enemies let her escape to the surface, a feat no one has successfully achieved. If the reclusive and callous Takeshi Steele won't kill Khalani, then the merciless prisoners and her fractured mind will.

Enter Braderhelm Prison, where only the wicked remain.

this book is a slow burn, nothing too exciting starts happening until 2/3 of the way through the book. the ending leaves you with needing to read the second book to get any answers. performance is great by the narrator.

I went into the book knowing it had a romance in it. I didn't expect as many plot twists, with heartfelt family moments. I liked that there was an actual plot and world building done instead of the entire focus being on the romance.

Interesting Story, Very easy to get invested in

The voice acting was great, but the story itself leaves you scratching your head at the plot holes. Feels very “first draft” ish.

Author frustratingly reverts to “tell, don’t show” rather than establishing any consistency. Don’t bother looking for complexity or wondering about underlying motivations …. It’s only ever as deep as “because I said so now”, and you have to just get used to looking past the frequent contradictions and nonsense switch ups to the world and the characters within it.

The central couple are *enemies*…. For exactly zero reasons. He falls in instalove at first sight so he is only ever as kind and thoughtful towards her as their positions allow…. therefore she hates him…? 😑

Rough Writing with so many plot holes
