The Word of the Muse

A YA Space Fantasy (The Coseema Saga, Book 3)

By: Bridgette Portman

Narrated by: Ulka Simone Mohanty

A daring rescue. A villain in pursuit. A battle for the suns themselves.

With Coseema off planet, Olive has bought herself some time—but the clock is ticking. After a risky rescue mission, she and her friends make their way to the center of the rebellion against Emperor Burnash, who is desperate to capture Olive and claim her power for his own. Without her journal, Olive must rely on her newfound courage to elude Burnash and help her friends. But that courage is put to the test as she and Coseema clash in a final showdown—one that will decide the fate of a star system.

The Word of the Muse, the thrilling conclusion to the Coseema Saga trilogy, is perfect for fans of space opera, portal fantasy, art-based magic, coming-of-age adventures, and novels about mental health, confidence, and finding the hero in ourselves.

Critic reviews

"A fiery denouement to a metafictional fantasy tale." -- Kirkus Reviews

Epic conclusion after many struggles

Olive hasn't had a particularly uneventful time since the initial plane turbulence that started her journey into her story's world. But the friends and adventures she's had along the way made for an excellent tale of torment and triumphs, narrated flawlessly and with full range of emotion. While targeted for a YA audience, anyone of any age can connect with the characters and challenges presented within. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.0x.]
