Story
Sixteen-year-old Eden Matthews has been in and out of private schools for the last two years. She can't seem to stop herself from closing them down. Kingsley is her last chance to finish high school. Only Kingsley isn't like the other schools she's been to. The students are different. But, then again, so is she. After meeting Kiran Kendrick, the mysterious boy who seems to be the source of all her problems, she is suddenly in a world that feels more make-believe than reality.

Awful story. Horrible characters. Terrible narration. How this book managed to be published is beyond me.

I had already become invested in Ryanna’s story in the first book. I listened to this immediately after. This is a great read/listen.

Story
Everyone knows who the magical estate will choose for its next ruler. Or do they? Will it be the lord’s eldest son, who he despised? His favourite nephew, with the strongest magical land-sense? His scandalous daughter, who ran away from home years ago to study illusion? Hetta knows it won’t be her, and she’s glad of it. Returning home for her father’s funeral, all Hetta has to do is survive the family drama and avoid entanglements with irritatingly attractive local men until the Choosing.

Loved it!

Engaging and fun read. I wish more authors understood, as Lancaster does, that intensive exposition is not a necessity for a good story. I’ll be immediately listening to Book 2.

Story
When Runnel leaves his mountain valley to head for the great city of the water mages, he has no idea of his own magical talents. But he soon finds that without meaning to, he complicates and then endangers the lives of everyone he comes to know and care about. For when it comes to magic, there are rules and laws, and the untrained mage-to-be must be careful not to tap into deep forces and ancient enmities. Otherwise, other people might end up paying the price for his mistakes.

This is the way to do exposition. I could have listened to this story for hours more.

A dark and beautiful fantasy

A bit repetitive.
Reviewed: 12-23-22
I didn’t count, but given the story, how many times did the writer need the main character to “think [she’s] going to die”? And she was always surprised even though she’d almost died the day before and the week before and the first day of the start the entire war in Book 1?
