Audio Length: 10hr 43min
Rating: 3.5/5
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Sirscha Ashwyn comes from nothing, but she's intent on becoming something.
After years of training to become the queen's next royal spy, her plans are derailed
when shamans attack and kill her best friend, Saengo.
And then Sirscha, somehow, restores Saengo to life.
Thoughts:
Awesome idea of a soul guide and the novel has high energy. However Sirscha went
from no knowledge to knowing her powers with no training. This is a perfect example of
tell don't show. I wish we learned more of the powers through the story. The plot is great
but the characters are flat. The growth wasn't shown on the page.
Overall the story had potential but the characters really drew the reader away from
the page.
TTFN,
Ashley
