Dearra comes into possession of the magical Sword of Cyrus just as the evil Breken attack her island home. Though her people succeed in driving their enemy back to the sea, one of the invaders remains behind, left for dead by his cruel kin.
Now, Dearra doesn’t know what to be more surprised by, the fact that her sword can speak to her or that it has imperiously informed her that the handsome Breken warrior is her destiny.
The two are bound together by a chain of events that was set into motion 1,000 years earlier, and everything they thought they knew about themselves, their history, and their future is about to change.

Would you listen to Breathe again? Why?
Yes, it was a very entertaining book to listen to.
What other book might you compare Breathe to and why?
The reason this book peeked my interest was because the premise sounded like the one for Forgotten Ages which I also liked.
Have you listened to any of J. Scott Bennett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but he seem to also narrate The Sorcerer's Sags so I might be listening more of him soon.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Listening to the book, I had totally forgotten about the prologue, that is until the epilogue. And what a revelation that was.
Any additional comments?
I just have to say, I was annoying how they kept ignoring the danger "he" posed since the beginning. And cheers for the sarcastic "sword".

The Destiny Series, Book 1
: Christine Grey
Breathe, is the first book in The Destiny Series. There is plenty of action and adventure. Romance between unlikely pair keeps everyone on their toes. I like the strong female protagonist!!! There is great humor from a sarcastic talking sword, who has a secret of its own.
If you like fantasy this is one for you.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. J. Scott Bennett

Which character – as performed by J. Scott Bennett – was your favorite?
I became a fan of J. Scott Bennett after listening to him narrate the Titanic story, and he did not disappoint. He has a nice range of voices and conveys many moods!By far my favorite character - considering both the story and narration - was Brin!
Any additional comments?
I wish this book was turned into a movie, maybe by Disney Studios.It's not a serious and dark adventure, but a light and romantic one, with touches of humor that made me smile. There is instant love between the characters which I found very pleasantly Disney-like, but I see how some people might be turned off by that so here's my "warning".
The story is not fully contained in this book and the end paves the way for a sequel, so if you're bothered by that it can be a good idea to wait for the next installment. I know I am expecting it eagerly!

Breathe was a good read; the story was detailed and the imagery was vivid. The characters were fun and comical at times; Dearra was a unique character and I loved having a strong female as the main character, even if she did behave like a child at times. I loved the adventurous and suspenseful parts of the story the most. Unfortunately, there was a lot of unnecessary text in between the good parts. I felt a bit overwritten at times and slowed the story down but it was worth it in the end. I rate the story with 3 stars.
I listened to the audio version of this and the voices the narrator gave the characters kept me listening. He is definitely a creative and talented narrator! I give the narration 5 stars.
Overall rating for this book is 4 stars.

Breathe, is the first book in The Destiny Series. The overall tale focuses on an honourable people, the Maage, who were invaded by a barbaric nation, the Brekken. In the end, the Maage were able to keep their land. However, a Brekken warrior had been captured and the the Maage’s High lord’s 10 year old son had been kidnaped to be used for ransom. In this first instalment, we get to know the Maage people especially the High Lord’s Daughter, Deera and her growing friendship with the enemy - Darius, the Bakkian warrior. It is odd that he the only other person who can hear the sword.
Much is left open for the next book. Without reading/listening to it, I will not be content. I want the rest of the story.
The narrator, J. Scott Bennett did a great job of telling the story. I am often put off when males do female voices, but he did a believable job so it was easy to listen to. I was given this book, at my request, in exchange for an honest review. Now, I’m going to get Book 2 in The Destiny series, Whisper.
Who is the real enemy?

Narration was good and brought the story to life.
This is a clean fantasy romance between Dearra and Darius! Brekens invade her island trying to kill or enslaved them but her people manage to drive them away back to sea. Darius is a Breken but he never cared for the ruthless way his people live. He was left behind by his own kin.
The story wraps up with no major cliffhangers although there are unresolved issues for the next book to address and resolve.
I’m looking forward to the next book. They will have to travel far to go rescue someone the Breken have taken with them!

The narrator does a fantastic job and is a real joy to listen to. I have listened to many other books narrated J. Scott Bennett and he is consistent with his quality of character voices, narration and great acting skills.
