Story4.5 out of 5 stars 413
You are born to a king, but marry a tyrant. You stand helplessly as he sacrifices your child to placate the gods. You watch him wage war on a foreign shore and you comfort yourself with violent thoughts of your own. You play the part, fooling enemies who deny you justice. And slowly, you plot. But when your husband returns in triumph, what then? Acceptance or vengeance—death follows both. So you bide your time and force the gods' hands in a wretched game of vengeance.

Marra never wanted to be a hero. As the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter, she escaped the traditional fate of princesses, to be married away for the sake of an uncaring throne. But her sister wasn’t so fortunate—and after years of silence, Marra is done watching her suffer at the hands of a powerful and abusive prince. Seeking help for her rescue mission, Marra is offered the tools she needs, but only if she can complete three seemingly impossible tasks:

If Only I Could Cut Out Half the Story

What an unusual world!

Really liked the story, narration, peculiar characters all of which were well developed and seemed to develop or unfold in different ways. Also liked it’s being a self- contained story, but if there were to be a sequel I’d read it in a heartbeat!

An already excellent raconteur growsi
Reviewed: 12-01-23
Mr. Sanderson weaves a compelling yarn, and over the years only gets more 3 dimensional, greatly aided by the superb narration. Like Mark Twain, he lacks a compelling insight into sexuality and the relations between the sexes, but nevertheless, this is still a great conclusion to a series I hope to see furthered. The minor quibble above is certainly preferential to to childish excesses of an otherwise equally great series by Rebecca Yarrow. Keep up the great work and your growth as a writer- these are anything but stick figures moving through action sequences!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 789
J.R. Moehringer grew up captivated by a voice. It was the voice of his father, a New York City disc jockey who vanished before J.R. spoke his first word. Sitting on the stoop, pressing an ear to the radio, J.R. would strain to hear in that plummy baritone the secrets of masculinity and identity. Though J.R.'s mother was his world, his rock, he craved something more, something faintly and hauntingly audible only in The Voice.

Venice, 1576. Five years after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto, a ship steals unnoticed into Venice bearing a deadly cargo. A man, more dead than alive, disembarks and staggers into Piazza San Marco. He brings a gift to Venice from Constantinople. Within days the city is infected with bubonic plague - and the Turkish sultan has his revenge. But the ship also holds a secret stowaway - Feyra, a young and beautiful harem doctor fleeing a future as the sultan's concubine.

Great story in unfamiliar context
Reviewed: 11-19-21
I very much enjoyed this story in good measure because the reading/narrative was done so well. 16th century Venice and the ottoman empire are areas of marginal familiarity to me, but this audio book puts them in context and brings alive alien cultures and times and the bubonic plague certainly puts the current coronavirus in a broader perspective as well!
