The Beginning of a Wonderful Journey
Furies of Calderon was a great book with an interesting magic system. I love Jim Butcher's Dresden series and thought I'd give his fantasy a try. Since reading this, I have continued the series which I LOVE, however, this first book is a bit of a slog due to the numerous character perspectives all running parallel scenarios simultaneously. Isana is captured, then Tavi is captured, then Bernerd is captured. Isana is in pain, Tavi is in pain, then Amara is in pain. You don't get much relief from a storyline between characters. Despite this, the book is worth the slog, and the following books are incredible and Kate Redding's performance is masterful. Check it out! #Audible1

fun book with a good mix of suspense and comedy. I didn't understand the connection of abilities to some furies. some were clear but others seemed random and some were never really explained. I look forward to learning more in the next books.

Fantastic
The story, characters and especially world building in this book are all amazing and it’s just as good in audiobook form as it as to read. The world here is so vibrant and unique that it’s hard not to be swept away in it. My one complaint is the voice actress (who is really talented and almost always fantastic) has a problem with sensual or seductive voices which is kinda of a problem when one of the main supporting characters is a temptress type character....her scenes get a little awkward
Other than that fantastic performance for one of my favourite book series ever!
