About this listen
"A remarkable, razor-sharp debut that cuts straight to the heart."―Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief
A fugitive queen strikes a bargain with her greatest enemy that could resurrect her scorched kingdom or leave it in ashes forever in this unmissable Egyptian-inspired epic fantasy debut.
Ten years ago, the kingdom of Jasad burned. Its magic was outlawed. Its royal family murdered. At least, that’s what Sylvia wants people to believe. The Heir of Jasad escaped the massacre, and she intends to stay hidden, especially from the armies of Nizahl that continue to hunt her people.
But a moment of anger changes everything. When Arin, the Nizahl Heir, tracks a group of Jasadi rebels to her village, Sylvia accidentally reveals her magic—and captures his attention. Now Sylvia’s forced to make a deal with her greatest enemy: Help him hunt the rebels in exchange for her life.
A deadly game begins. Sylvia can’t let Arin discover her identity, even as hatred shifts into something more between the Heirs. And as the tides change around her, Sylvia will have to choose between the life she wants and the one she abandoned.
The scorched kingdom is rising, and it needs a queen.
Praise for The Jasad Heir:
"Will have you turning pages in a frenzy." ―Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun
"The type of mythological and romantic tale you would bargain your last breath for... A book that coils you into its serpentine grasp." ―Observer

Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Arwen Valondale never expected to be the brave one, offering her life to save her brother’s. Now she’s been taken prisoner by the most dangerous kingdom on the continent, and made to use her rare magical abilities to heal the soldiers of the vicious Onyx King. Arwen knows better than to face the ancient, wicked woods that surround the castle on her own, which means working with a fellow prisoner might be her only path to freedom. Unfortunately, he’s as infuriating as he is cunning—and seems to take twisted pleasure in playing on Arwen’s deepest fears.

Great First Installment
The Jasad Heir is a solid debut novel and first installment of a series. Though it has a slow start with too much info dumping, once the story gets going and the characters are firmly introduced, the book is engaging.
The protagonist, Sylvia, is a morally grey heroine with a tragic past filled with loss and abuse. Having lost her family and status as a princess during a war, she lives as a commoner, hiding her identity as well as her restrained magic. I really loved the complexity of Sylvia's character and following her through each difficult choice and harsh revelation from her past. She felt very real.
While I'm not usually a fan of enemies to lovers romances, the dynamic between Sylvia and Arin is the best example I've seen of the trope. They are natural enemies as he is the son of the man who overthrew her family and the way their relationship progresses is authentic.
I'm really looking forward to the next installment of this series.

Confused about how to feel
The narration was wonderful. Probably one of the best narrations I’ve heard. Had I tried to read it rather than listening I probably wouldn’t have finished.
The peak of the story was at the end, the first 17 hours of the book was mainly world building which often lapsed into info dumping. Many names sounded so similar that it was hard to keep track of. I love a slow burn romance, but it shouldn’t bog down the speed of the plot (as it did here).
The characters were my favorite part. Definitely loved the chemistry between the main characters. I’ll probably listen to the next book when it comes out, if I have nothing else to listen to.
It felt a little clunky and, other than geography and some Arabic sounding names, I’m not sure how it’s Egyptian inspired. The culture and religion were made up.
It was a well done book, but I did not feel it lived up to the description as things that were emphasized in the description were either glossed over, minor plot points, or completely gone.
Overall, probably an audiobook that’s worth a listen, just don’t expect to get what the description says.

The only bad thing about reading this is that you have to wait for the next book…which I will gladly do. I loved the story and how the MC’s perspective is shown throughout the book. I also loved how this book read differently than a lot of the other famous tropes this past year. It was a refreshing, engaging storyline from a talented author 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Loved this book. Great story building and character development. Looking forward to the sequel!
Regarding the narrator… it was often difficult to tell when a character was speaking versus thinking, making it hard to follow what the other characters were learning from her. Other than that, she did a great job.

Fantastic Audio
I sat on writing this review for a few weeks, because I needed to process. I knew I liked the book but there were some things I found lacking.
HOWEVER…I’ve found myself thinking about The Jasad Heir every few days. Something will remind me of it, or a part of a scene will pop into my mind. To me, that’s the sign of a great book.
The audio for this book is FANTASTIC. This narrator truly embodied the MC. I didn’t LOVE the male narrator but he only has maybe 3-4 scenes, so that was acceptable. And he didn’t do anything wrong, I just didn’t envision Arin’s voice sounding that way.
Overall, listen to/read this book!!
