Lera and her cousin have completed their long childhood and their training as healers. Sent to their grandparents back in Madean, they must negotiate the strange, new world and attain their werwinstans. Fate intervenes in the shape of handsome, young Ian, very human and very poisonous to the elven. Trying out her independence for the first time in her life, what will Lera decide? Where will she discover her loyalty to lay, with love or with duty?

Lera's Sorrow: A Coming of Age Fantasy Darkliete, Book 1
By: Gail Gernat Narrated by: Chloe De Burgh

The narrator did a great job. I enjoyed listening to this story. It took a while to become interested, but once I was in, I had to know what was next. I rate this book with 3 Boundless stars; I liked it.

I enjoyed listening to this story.

this story was refreshing, even though I felt like the things with the two romantic characters moved fairly quickly it was easy to look past. I am looking forward to what's to come.

I received this audio book free for an honest review.

fun but short

The author done a great job on this book. I’m eager to hear to listen to book 2. It has such a mystical twist which I like. I would recommend to anyone.

Great Book!

The struggle of choosing between love and duty can be truly difficult. Just imagine what it must be like when you are magically linked to both! I loved this book! It was a good mix of great writing and narration!

This audio Book comes alive with the narrator's voice. It is vivid and the characters are greatly written. I love fantasy worlds and Madean and Frain is becoming some.of my favorites. After meeting a human Prince named Ian Lera's ,a elven healer, life is thrown out of balance

A great beginning

This is the first book to the Darkliete trilogy. It was awesome. It introduces the fantasy realms of Madean & Frain and takes you through the journey of Lera, a young elven healer faced with insurmountable odds

While I enjoyed this story, for the most part, it was a little difficult to get in to without much background on the characters. When the story started, we were already in the thick of the plot, which caused me to lost a bit of focus on the story. It was difficult to connect with the characters, as well. It’s a nice story, but it needed more.

I really really loved this book. Chloe DeBurgh did an amazing job with the narration. I was enchanted from the beginning and listened to it in one afternoon. It is short which was the only thing I didn’t like- that it ended - but I am happy to know the story will continue. I love Elves, Selkies, Evil Queens and a handsome prince so this book had it all. It’s my first Gail Gernat book but I will definitely be looking at all her others. Once again, the narration was amazing, great story with a perfectly matched narration

Totally Enchanted!

I kind of felt like this book should have been labelled as a prequel or novella. However, it contains a good bit of necessary information for Illera's Darkliete.

Well written, but the most important part about this book is that it sets up the world and gives us a background as to where Illera comes from and where her mother went. There are some very cold aspects about this short book as far as Ian and Lera's relationship is concerned. Ian and Lera's 'bonding' is kind of sudden and then their love for each other is kind of hard to see. Plus there is a very catty mother-in-law.

It is short enough intriguing enough that I am interested to see where the author takes us in the next book of the series.

Also, I liked the narrator's performance, I feel like she did a pretty good job staying consistent with voice changes and speed.

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Good Setup for 'Book 2'
