About this listen
Candle Enys is no longer human.
A demon owns her soul, and the only way to set things right is to travel to the one place no human should ever go: the Night Nation. Where the dead roam, and spirits flood the sky. Where monsters hold court and the very land itself might wake at any moment.
With her wings, her magic, and her wits, Candle must find the demon and kill him, all the while contending with the denizens of the Night. New friends, foes, and complicated family history await—if only she can catch her breath.
The Night Nation is full of dreams and promise, but does Candle belong there?
A dark young adult fantasy with progression elements.

Story
On the eve of her 16th birthday, Candle Enys discovers her brother has sold her soul to a demon. Scared for her life, Candle runs away. But the mountains of Hanternos are dangerous, especially for soft-hearted girls who have never learned to fight. At dawn and at dusk spirits crawl from the shadows, searching for bodies to steal. Evil stirs in the deep caves, and the wind smells of black powder. A chance meeting with an ancient being sets her on the path to power she never knew she possessed. It also places a target on her back.

Story
Busy with troubles of her own, Maud the village witch just wants to be left alone. Peace and quiet should be easy enough when you're dead, right? Wrong. Reborn as a powerful lich, Maud is suddenly faced with the attentions of all the righteous heroes, holy clerics, and nosy neighbors of the realm. Now, instead of whiling away the days in her garden with her cat and her knitting, Maud must figure out how much force is required to crush a man's spine, the proper storage solution to keep a spoiling cadaver, and how best to display the remains of the fallen for maximum scare.

As an anti-social art major perpetually at risk of dropping out, college life wasn't a great fit for Momo. When she wakes up one morning in a dark cavern full of sentient skeletons and oddball introverts who call themselves necromancers, she knows a new era of her life is about to start. Chosen for her meek and harmless personality, she is able to exist under the radar as she completes the Dawn's necromantic missions. Watch her as she gains confidence (and class levels), and reluctantly rises from meager apprentice to self-assured queen of the underworld.

The Netherworld: it is a hellish landscape inhabited only by demons. Joining the ranks of newborn demons, Salvos is thrown into the violent, anarchy-ruled landscape of that world. To survive, she will have to learn, she will have to adapt, and she will have to evolve. She will gain experience to reach new Levels of power. Her curiosity aids her but her pride could be her fall. It is the nature of the Netherworld to avoid or conquer any threats faced. After all, the law of evolution is survival of the fittest, and Salvos is a survivor.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Keeps getting better Part 2
After my first review (where I accidently pressed submit before checking my message) I would like to add... Following Candles story as she navigates through some very tricky situations, completly on her own, creates a mountain load (literally) of unpredictable and wonderfully nail-biting outcomes, which also adds a great sense of depth to our experience in this magical realm.
At 3am, one morning, I found myself wide awake and so greatful to have this story to enjoy! It was right near the end so I couldn't wait to hear how the finale would unfold. It didn't disappoint! And now I can't wait for the next one.
As an avid fantasy and scifi enthusiast, I can honesty say that this is a story that I can see myself listening to again oneday!
Tolsons writing manages to capture your attention and maintain the flow of Candles movements from one beautifully descriptive scene to the next. You will discover characters you both love and loath and places that make your imagination feel like a director or scene builder on an epic movie set. It's so enchanting!
I want to congratulate both the writer and the narrator - Saskia, on another polished production. Saskia your ability to capture the varied energies of each moment and character is commendable!
I can't wait for the next one you two!!

It was so compelling
I was frustrated with some of Candle's choices but they made sense to her. With where it left off I definitely need to know what happens next and with the changes.

Mixed Feelings
One of the things I hate most is when an author has the main character make a stupid decision only to further a flawed plot, and then every bad thing you think is going to happen, happens. Meanwhile, the reader is forced to ride shotgun as the main character eats turd burger after turd burger as a result. This book is a perfect example of that. I loved the characters and the general writing, but I despised the plot and only felt irritated and uneasy throughout the story. At the end, there was no payoff, only more turd burgers - as expected and foreshadowed by the author so don't think this is any sort of spoiler, only a warning. You will not be pleasantly surprised.
