The Forgotten and the Feared

The Dragon Queen, Book 1

By: EC Garrett

Narrated by: Ruthie Bowles

The only way to survive is to win.

The only way to win is to slay a dragon.

In a realm where power determines life or death, two young women are thrust into a deadly tournament where the only path to survival is to slay a dragon. Forced to participate in the brutal Gauntlet, Amalia and Dyana enter the dangerous world of the Fae. But humans aren't the only ones being forced to fight...

Dragons, once revered as Gods, are on the brink of extinction. Enslaved by the Fae and forced to fight, they've given up hope of ever seeing the skies again.

As the two women train for the battle of their lives, Amalia Roth grows closer to stony yet magnetic Gauntlet head trainer Os, while her adopted younger sister Dyana finds herself falling for enigmatic Mirielle, a Gauntlet candidate from the coastal Eastlands.

Driven by fear for herself and her sister, Amalia will have to decide whether to stay in the shadows or to accept her birthright...if she can survive the dragons.

The first in an explosive new series brimming with magic, danger, romance, sapphic characters, and a morally gray antiheroine, The Forgotten and The Feared is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, George R.R. Martin, R.F. Kuang, John Gwynne, Samantha Shannon, and Carissa Broadbent.

Interesting Story

The story is a little hard to follow but the characters and plot are good. Narrator on the other hand... let's just say I had to abandon the audiobook and go download the book on my kindle.

The narrator is amazing

The reason that I picked this book was because this is one of my all-time favorite narrators. The way that she can read so many different voices and keep you enthralled the entire way through is amazing. I did enjoy this book, there were some parts that I think could have been a bit better. Either way I will be reading the next one.
