The Queen of Ieflaria

Tales of Inthya, Book 1

By: Effie Calvin

Narrated by: Brenda Scott Wlazlo

Princess Esofi of Rhodia and Crown Prince Albion of Ieflaria have been betrothed since they were children but have never met. At age 17, Esofi’s journey to Ieflaria is not for the wedding she always expected but instead to offer condolences on the death of her would-be husband.

But Ieflaria is desperately in need of help from Rhodia for their dragon problem, so Esofi is offered a new betrothal to Prince Albion’s younger sister, the new Crown Princess Adale. But Adale has no plans of taking the throne, leaving Esofi with more to battle than fire-breathing beasts.

undecided

audio got a little glitchy but for the most wasn’t bad. I liked the idea of the story, but had a hard time getting invested in the story. Going to listen to the next one and see how that goes.

No Pillow Princesses here!

An excellent story! I cried, and the characters feel like they develop in a real way. Their relationships, except for a couple of moments, feel like they develop in a real way.

There were a couple of issues with audio editing and recording, but otherwise is read excellently

Good story overall.

Not a bad story. Definitely feels for a younger audience in language/tone and voice of characters. Also it could be the narration - Brenda does a fine job but for even the exciting parts her tone remains even and stead, somewhat airy which ramps down the tension by a lot. Again, not a bad story overall and I did enjoy it. Also looks like it will be a 4 part series so if you end up liking this, there is definitely more of the world waiting (second book doesn't have these characters in it but the third does.)

so much fun

this was a really fun ride. I hope there's more in this series to come. great details and awesome narrator

editing error in chapter 9

I want to give this five stars for a great short and sweet story and awesome narration. however, there is a terrible editing mistake in chapter 9 that has a brief few seconds of double recording. it's still worth listening to, but you will need to consult the book to read what was recorded over in chapter 9.
