A Gem of a Fantasy Story
Firstly, I'll say the ending of this book had me in floods of tears. This book showed so much heart and immediately makes you care for the main protagonist. It hints at all these conflicting emotions within her and they eventually pay off in certain points of the story and it sets up continued growth of her character. This makes Heliose feel like a real person that I have fallen in love with. I know there are more books to this series and I can't wait to continue this fantastic story!

Fantastic
Thoroughly good listen, great protagonist and an interesting world. I found myself unable to stop listening several times as I just had to know what happens next. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys fantasy of any kind

So much potential, poor execution.
It's hard to talk about it having a "story", as it is much more a handful of connect events thrown together in nauseatingly long descriptions. When it started, I was excited about the concept, but as it progressed I kept saying to myself "get on with it!" as there was so much unnessary decriptions of each of the events. The author seems to love similes as it seems that every other sentence is one and were mostly either exaggerated, unnecessary, or both.
The story should have continued in this first book and I get the impression it was the actual intent to produce multiple volumes just to get people to buy them rather that writing a single book with a story having actual depth instead of long, drawn-out descriptions. Added to this were the cliché characters, that reminded me of the "young adult" books I read years ago, as it really isn't for readers of serious fantasy.
Admittedly, I fell vicitim to the sunk-cost fallacy. ("the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it") In the last quarter of the book I had expected (or hoped for) more and chose not to stop reading. Sadly, it did turn out to be a waste of time. I will not be buying the rest of the series.
