As the clock ticks ever closer to the Vernal Equinox and the prophecy that’s plagued her since childhood, Ezri must greet her destiny head on. Will she solve the murders and uncover the truth about her mother’s death, or will she lose the life she’s built for herself in the process?

ok, but could be better

To start, the narrator wasnt bad. The voice was a bit too mature for the bratty fmc,but the reading was smooth and flowed well and the characters were easy to seperate.
The story itself.... if you are looking for a quick story that doesn't require you to follow heavily this might be ok.
*spoilers*
the FMC is supposed to be the savior, but when she decides to stop her training, the authority and entire magical community just... let her quit training and communicating? They are like 20 minutes away from her and just let her decide if she wants to save everyone and just ignore her for 10 years lol. They pop up literally 4 days before the end of the world as they know it, and no one knows anything about what is coming. The premise could have been a solid foundation for a fantasy story but the writing was underwhelming and very predictable. Overall a 3/5, and I wont be reading the next in the series. This is a DNF for me.

not for ne

the adults were very immature. the narrator fit the story with a very young voice.

DNF@7%

I just stopped listening after this bit. "Another benefit of magic...I didn't even have to bother with a hair dryer anymore. I just heated the water molecules until they evaporated."
