The Dragonborn Queen, Book 1

De: Lina Ravenhill

Narrado por: Elizabeth Russell, Lee Samuels

They say mated dragonborns can hear each other. I never believed it.

Not until I was trapped in an abandoned building, surrounded by flesh-eating monsters, terrified and alone.

My body was failing, but my mind reached into the void, begging for someone to hear me.

Then the door burst open.

The man who came for me was the last person I ever expected—my enemy. Strong, fearless, and endlessly captivating, Tynan works for the people who imprisoned me, and I hate him even more because I can't stop staring whenever he shapeshifts.

His dragon is black as night, with eyes that pierce my soul. He stopped beside me, and I already know I'll fight him till my last breath.

In Talman, war rages between dragon clans. The last Queen struggles to hold her throne while a deadly disease spreads across the realm, turning her subjects into bloodthirsty beasts. Everyone says she's too old to rule. Clans plot. Alliances break. And the hunt for a new Queen has begun…

Kinda disappointed.

Overall, I thought the story kind of dragged. The "spicy" scenes were meh at best (which works for some people, but the hype it received was ill-deserved).

The narrators were what really bogged it down, though. Any emotion displayed by the female narrator made the character sound perpetually whiny, even during spicy scenes. It was to the point I couldn't discern what age the character was supposed to be. The male narrator had some awkward pauses and phrasings for the words being read, and didn't have enough range to broadcast the array of characters needed to play.

Overall, I don't think I'll be continuing this series on Audible. If I do, it'll be through the physical book.
