About this listen
For some, the only way to possess magic is to steal it from others.
Born without magic, Davis is an outcast in his own shapeshifter family. Yearning for his father’s approval, he sets down a path that intertwines with Iris, a girl whose own ambitions are hindered by a mysterious illness.
Their quest leads to Yuras, one of California’s smallest towns, unremarkable until they discover a cave of magic-transferring stones. Now they have a chance to change their fates. But they’re not alone.
When locals stumble upon the cave, they unknowingly set into motion a series of events that threatens to expose Davis’s past.
As dark truths surface, one question endures: How much are they willing to take in their quest for power?

Unique magic system and interesting story
This book is told from several POVs, which is overwhelming at first but pays off in the end. The story samples Chinese mythology buy set in an American urban setting over several decades. The various time periods. weave in and out of the story, which can be challenging. The magic system and world is unique and interesting. Definitely worth a read/listen.

Loved it
Great reader and writer. More complexity than your average fantasy novel due to the nonlinear timeline, made me pay attention but was worth it in the end. It’s like piecing together a mystery as the timelines come together. The narrator did a great job differentiating characters without making them seem overdone.

A Beautifully Layered Tale
Of Mountains and Seas is a wonderful debut novel that blends magical realism, rich world-building, and an intricately woven narrative.
The story’s shifting points of view and timelines may feel disorienting at first, but they ultimately coalesce into a beautifully layered tale. The gradual unveiling of connections between characters and events kept me hooked, as each chapter offered fresh revelations.
The book’s prose is vivid and immersive, painting scenes so detailed that the world came alive in my imagination. As the story unfolds, the threads of different perspectives intertwine seamlessly, leading to a satisfying and twist-filled conclusion that left me eager for the sequel.

Phenomenal Narration!
Wow, Natalie Naudus was a phenomenal narrator for the audiobook!
Overall, this was a great read! YA fantasy, Chinese mythology, a dash of mystery, a unique magics system, compelling characters... I ate this up! The timelines and multiple POV's did trip me up a couple times in the audio format but I loved how the different paths were all connected.
