The Nevermore

De: Cat Meyers

Narrado por: Shelley Reece

Two sisters. One thirsty for power. The other drained of her powers.

Now that her memory has been restored, Astrid knows exactly who she is. She is Princess Astrid of Oceali - no longer the Silent Princess. Her mother died, years ago, helping Astrid escape a life of misery in a facility. Her mother died because of her sister, Princess Vega.

Astrid also knows exactly where she is. Not in her remarkable home on the Isle of the Never Mind, but she and her friends are being held captive in her old home, deep within the bowels of the palace.

This is Vega’s handiwork. Vega is desperate to get her hands on the healing waters. The waters that not only restored Astrid’s voice, but had also given her the supernatural power to influence people with her words - powers that have since been snatched away by the soldier who claimed to love her.

Secreted away in the palace dungeons, it doesn’t take long for Astrid to realize one important detail: The king has no idea what’s going on in his own palace. But why the secrecy? Why go to such great lengths to keep Astrid’s presence a secret? And who else would Vega be willing to destroy in order to protect her secret?

Astrid isn’t willing to hang around to find out. Her only hope is to escape and get word to the king. Then again, since she’s trapped in a palace with no allies and no superpowers, it seems Astrid has no hope at all.

good

I sadly didn't read book one so I'm ofc missing something but honestly I still enjoyed it, nice narrator

awesome

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Superior Voice Artist

I made the mistake of not reading Book 1. Whoops. I still got a lot out of this story. Well written and superior voice artist.

When Is Book Three Out?!!

So, a fantastic second book, but the cliffhanger is terrible! It's simply a book that you really want the next one right away. This series continues to have a great pace and the story keeps you sucked in and needing more. A great middle grade to adult read for those who like the dystopian, fantasy and romance genres. I don't want to ruin the story in a anyway so if a mash up of the Unwanteds and X-Men sounds at all interesting then give this series a shot. They do need to be read in order and really don't stand alone.

Parents: This is a fairly clean read PG-PG13. No bad language that I remember, and the violence is normal to fantasy/dystopian genres, there's some torture in the prison but it is mostly talked about afterwards but for one scene with a girl being shocked/stung. The romance is on the teen romance level, instant attraction/love, kissing and make outs but nothing beyond.

The Narrator did a great job, she really fits the main character. She was also able to have good differentiations between the other voices.

Unbiased Review

I got the opportunity to listen to this book for an honest unbiased review. I am extremely glad that I got the opportunity. I had not heard of this series before and it is now one of my favorites. As soon as I finished this one I immediately started the next in the series. When I can I will have to get and go back to listen to the first one in the series. It is a series that I am going to listen to more than once!

I enjoyed it

I'm missing some context, I haven't listened to book 1 but even without I enjoyed the story. I'm glad I had the 3rd book on hand to finish and I'll most likely go back and read book 1 when I reread the series.

I received a free copy for an honest review

Wow

I loved this book. The universe that’s been created is quite interesting. The writing is excellent. While the main characters are sometimes quite immature…. They are 16 so it makes sense. I will be buying the next one
