Intriguing story and cool narration

The plot of this was so interesting and this read so quick! I love the idea of the Bone Crier's, aka Leuress, that ferry souls to basically paradise or damnation. The sisterly bond between these women and especially Sabine and Ailesse, was great. I love to see women supporting each other and portrayed as strong. The world building was kind of confusing, I did not understand the difference between chained and unchained souls until I read someone's review. There were a couple things like that, where they could have been explained better. I still don't really get why the Leuress have to kill their amoure, maybe in the next book there will be more information.
Sabine and Ailesse were great characters. They each went through their own transformations and became stronger. I really enjoyed Sabine's connection to their goddess and her becoming her own person. I felt like Bastien wasn't fleshed out enough and even though we got his point of view, he felt like a side character.
I loved the audiobook and definitely recommend it. I'm excited for the sequel after that cliffhanger!

Star crossed lovers & Alex Wyndham :)

Loved this. The tension created by the central conceit seems cheesy to begin with but it actually plays out awesomely. Could have been a little clearer at times but I'm definitely down for more. Narration is solid and Alex Wyndham is as always awesome. Loved his narration of the Michael G. Manning books.

Creepy Man whisper...ewww!

The story was great overall, and I love Fiona Hardingham! However, the male narrator was TERRIBLE! He had a dreadful creepy whisper thing going on. It totally took away from the enjoyment of this book. Excuse me while I go wash out my ears...uggg!

Review

I enjoyed the story and will read the next. I’d like to know more about the gods and their plans.

The male narrator I did not like. After awhile I got used to him but the raspy voice I did not like. The female narrators were good.

Okay

The performance was excellent, the cover art is beautiful, the story eh. I thought the start of the book was excellent, the premise had such promise and my mind was racing with possibilities..however I just didn’t like how the story unfolded. It probably is just me, but it just didn’t meet my expectations.
