About this listen
A rare conduit of Light drawn to the Shadows. A spymaster who can't seem to stay away.
For as long as she can remember, Arken Asher has been searching for answers—driven by an insatiable hunger, a need to understand the meaning behind her dangerous arcane secrets. She's finally taken that leap into the unknown, leaving her simple life behind to attend the Arcane Studium, a prestigious college of magickal arts & sciences nestled in the heart of Sophrosyne, the City of the Gods.
As the Scouting & Reconnaissance Captain of the Elder Guard, Kieran Vistarii deals in Shadows, blood, and subterfuge. Scarred by his past but dedicated to safeguarding Sophrosyne's future, Kieran's self-imposed isolation is easily masked by charm and cocksure energy. Strange disappearances have kept his cadre busy as of late, and yet the captain finds himself sidetracked, distracted by the inexplicable allure of a certain golden-eyed Conduit and her curious mind.
They both know better than to get involved, but the Fates have other plans. The dark threads of prophecy were woven long ago, and the ties that bind just might be what it takes to mend these broken, star-crossed souls… or what forges a deadly bond that could damn them all.
Of Blood and Aether is the first book in the Harbingers series, a captivating and character-driven dark romantasy saga. Rife with sizzling tension, gut-wrenching angst, addictive banter, and ever-growing stakes, the Harbingers series is perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns & Roses, Fourth Wing, and From Blood & Ash.

Story
For the last twelve years, Tavish, the King of the Unseelie Fae, focused on finding the key for taking back his rightful lands from the Seelie fae after they killed his parents. There was one problem that stood in his way—locating the Seelie Princess hidden on Earth. After years of haunting her dreams, he finally locates her and drags her back to their realm. She’s forgotten her fae life and wants to escape. He doesn’t care. He merely needs her blood in order to free his people. But she’s more than he remembers, and a spark ignites between them every time they touch.

Story
Kenna Heron is best known in her village for being a little wild—some say half feral—but she’ll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court. Trapped as a servant in the faeries’ underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn’t, the punishment is death—for both mistress and servant.

There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Brynn has spent the better part of her life waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta, the very same people who exiled the Alaha to live a life over the sea. A rite of passage for all young guards, she's not sure what to expect from it, but breaking a century-long peace treaty certainly isn't on her map. Neither is the encounter with an enemy soldier.

Story
When Aurora and her twin brother Aubrey were born, a dark mage cursed them: before their eighteenth birthday, the twins would suffer the torment of eternal sleep. Aurora and Aubrey's parents, being sensible wizards, eviscerated the mage. Unfortunately, dark magic doesn't go quietly. Aurora and Aubrey were left orphans. Raised by three half-faerie guardians, the twins' lives pass unremarkably. Attractive, witty, and in possession of a large fortune, they are the toast of polite society.

She’s running low on coin, so when a former client, Karina, offers her a job leading her caravan’s security through brigand country, it feels like a gift. Des has done the route before, but she isn’t sure about leading solo. She recommends Cap, a rugged old mercenary, to head up the crew.

This has become my favorite listen of 2024
Of Blood and Aether by Harper Hawthorne is a captivating fantasy with rich world-building, compelling characters, and a heartfelt slow-burn romance. The blend of magic, action, and emotional depth makes it a truly unforgettable read.

mixed bag
Review: Of Blood and Aether by Harper Hawthorne
⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶🌶 ‼️May contain Spoilers‼️
This one is kind of a mixed bag for me. I was super duper excited for it and felt like there were some things that were just not for me.
Things I liked:
The world is very interesting, I get a sort of magitech feel where its modern or almost futuristic in certain ways via magic while maintaining a classic fantasy tech level. Its still very sword and sorcery, but the main city it takes place in is this socialist utopia of learning.
The autism rep is spot on. The fmc is clearly autistic and her internal monologue shows this very well. The mmc is also very understanding, observant, and picks up on her quirks and caters to them/likes them.
Great lgbtq+ rep with both mc's being Bi, a few side characters being lesbian or bi, and the world treats it like its totally normal and no one thinks twice about it.
The magic system is quite well thought out and detailed without being overly complex. The narrative gradually shows how it works without infodumping.
The lore is very rich with hints at a detailed history for the world.
Now things that didn't work as well for me:
The fmc is pretty ignorant of the plot while the mmc is dealing with it in the background. He's also completely obsessed with her from day 1 and most of his pov chapters from the moment he sees her for the first 2/3 of the book are just him going on and on and on about how hot and sexy and smart and clever she is when she hasn't actually done anything to show those qualities. She also does this about him, but to a lesser extent because she's also the way we learn how the magic works and the history of the world.
Both mc's have casual sex with other people before they get together and as a demisexual, I just can't identify with this behavior. Not slut-shaming anyone, it just isn't for me.
I also kind of despised the ending, which is a big cliffhanger, and also makes me really angry at the mmc.

Narration and performance was lacking!
Female voice was hard to listen to and really get into. Male kept mispronouncing words and sounding like he was just now reading as performing rather than preparing then performing. Story line was somewhat boring and it could be because of the performance. Took 3x as long to get through this than it should have.
