The Huntsman and the Healer

Aeris Legends, Book 1

By: Julie C. Gilbert

Narrated by: Teralyn Davis

The Guild wants justice. They’ll settle for her life.

Marina didn’t cause the River’s Edge tragedy, but she knows who did. Knowing the truth could spark a war between the two magic races, she determines to carry the secret forever.

The Arkonai High Council wants answers, and they want Daniel to get them. He knows she’s innocent, but if he doesn’t cooperate, they will send another huntsman. And Marina might not live through the encounter.

You can jump right in or grab some background first. River's Edge Ransom takes place before this story, and all of Redeemer Chronicles takes place after this story.

Creative

What an intense, creative, clean romantic fantasy! It ends without a clear resolution, but there isn’t a huge cliffhanger either. I love how there is love throughout the story (romantic, familial, and true friendship) and how even though bad things happen, it’s not too dark. The world building is incredible and complex, and the characters have real depth.

REALLY GREAT STORY. LOVED IT

Clean YA Fantasy

Julie C Gilbert managed to write a creative and entertaining fantasy story that held my attention without the use of foul language and overt graphic details. I recommend this series to all ages who love the fantasy genre. Teralyn Davis' narration is great as she gives each character a different voice which boosts the entertainment value. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Family struggles

Marina has only ever wanted to be a healer, but her magic abilities and her birthright have put her in a precarious position. The huntsman sent to retrieve her may just be the one to save her.

I really enjoyed listening to this story by Julie C. Gilbert. Her characters are well developed and the storyline is well thought out. I’m looking forward to continuing with the series.

Teralyn Davis’ narration was great. Her performance really enhanced the story.

Dramatic Power Struggle YA Fantasy

A really well done combination of drama, action, inheritance power struggles, romance, fantasy, good vs. evil and an element of faith to the story. This story has such a spread that I really think it will appeal to many different readers. There are many ups and downs siblings turning on each other and forbidden love between magic races that it really keeps you very engaged with the story. This is a clean read free of bad language, overly graphic violence and no bedroom scenes (just some light kissing described). I would place it as a middle grade read and up but clean enough for younger readers. I can't wait to see where the story goes next!

The narrator did a great job with the different voices and acting. She definitely added to the fun of listening. I did find the pace a touch slow but 1.25x speed was perfect!
