Story
The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don't know what's coming. We have to be smart. Fighting them one on one isn't an option so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won't be easy, but if we pull it off, they'll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

New Voice for Darius
Reviewed: 11-12-24
They adjusted the voice for Darius from the first book and it's *much* better to listen to. I'm listening to this series for the first time and I even I agreed that the voice before was much too old for him. It's much easier to listen to now and the story and performances have been great! I might have to start reading the books soon so I don't have to wait for the next GA release to know the story!

Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Graphic Audio takes this to another level
Reviewed: 01-31-24
Absolutely love listening to Graphic Audios of my favorite books after I've read them. The casting is so good for this one but I can see why people are thrown off if they have another voice already set in their heads.

The best performance I've heard in an audiobook
Reviewed: 10-24-23
I picked up this audiobook after reading both this book and book 2 in the Beasts of the Briar series, so I knew the story already. I've been getting into more audiobooks lately and was happy to pick this one up for a familiar story. I didn't realize how absolutely amazing the narration was! Both narrators do an amazing job of putting emotion into the characters and their thoughts. The only time I've had narration this good was when I've listened to the graphic audio productions for the ACOTAR books, and they have a full cast and music/effects to enhance them - the narrators were able to do this just with their own acting, cadence, and inflection!
I absolutely love this series and look forward to hearing the Woven by Gold audiobook later this year and reading Forged by Malice in December! This audiobook definitely enhanced my excitement!
For newer readers to the story - The first book is a lot of set up for the characters and does lean more into the "Beauty and the Beast" retelling angle (and you can definitely tell when quotes are added in or it leans more into the source material), but there is also a lot of original worldbuilding in it. By the next book (Woven by Gold) most of the references are left behind and it really grows into its own world.
I'm eager to see where Elizabeth Helen takes the story for the anticipated 7 books!

Great Story but Duet feels lacking
Reviewed: 10-18-23
I think the story is amazing and Maeve York does an amazing job capturing the personality of Aran and the cast. Unfortunately, Tor Thom doesn't seem to keep up quite as much or match the tone for the characters, so it falls a lot more flat in his chapters. I would've preferred Maeve to narrate the entire book as she matches the tone better overall.
Edit: I think I was a little rough on Tor since the first few chapters heavily relied on his POVs and a lot of world building. Getting further in he seemed to pick up the tone more and it meshes better together.

A great story complimented by a wonderful performa
Reviewed: 10-02-23
I absolutely love hearing Aran's story and have been anxiously waiting for the third book this December! I decided to do a "reread" by listening to this audiobook of the first novel and I am so glad I did. The narrator does an absolutely amazing job with reading Aran's POV as well as doing the voices for the other (mostly male) cast of characters. It's extremely entertaining to listen to and a wonderful way to refresh myself on the story. I can't wait for the audiobook of book 2 to come out as well!
