Scarlet Princess

The Lochlann Feuds, Book 1

By: Robin D. Mahle, Elle Madison

Narrated by: Olivia King

A reckless princess. An enemy kingdom. And a mistake that could cost her everything.

Princess Rowan thought she knew her place in the world.

She never expected to feel like an outsider.

She certainly never imagined she would fall in love, least of all with a man from a barbarian kingdom half a world away.

But when series of missteps lands her in the hands of the people she was brought up to hate, she is forced to reconsider everything she thought she knew about both lands.

And about herself.

After a lifetime of animosity between the kingdoms, will the Socairans ever accept her as one of their own?

Or will her mistakes push her people into yet another war?

This enthralling story from the Lochlann Realm takes place after The Lochlann Treaty, but can be devoured and enjoyed all on its own.

Good story, easy to catch on

Honestly, I started this book without reading any reviews and I loved it. It was an easy listen, I would have loved more romance but I’m still quite pleased with it. Me, personally, I hope to continue with the series as I am too invested now to not find out what happens next.

LOVE this story…like it on audible. Ish.

This series is hands down one of my top 5 and I’ve read them all, but I’m not a super fan of this narrated version. I had a hard time with the voices and accents and often times felt the inflection wasn’t there when necessary…more monotone when someone (mostly when Theo or Evander spoke) was excited or angry, though Rowan was typically appropriately excited/angry/etc. I also struggled with the accents as they’re not at all how I read them in my mind based on the descriptions written…personal preference? I’m not sure.

Overall…I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because as I said, I am completely in love with this story and series and even though I wasn’t super excited about the narration, I’d definitely listen to the next book just to know what happens…but for me, in the future, I will not listen to an audible AFTER reading the books; though I would try audible again on a new book.

This series!

I absolutely loved returning to the Lochlann world with the second generation. Rowan is literally the best! And manages to find herself in quite the predicaments. Olivia did a great job bringing Rowan, Davin, and the rest to life. I always adore Elbin's characters and worlds, and having Olivia bring them to life made it even more enjoyable! I highly recommend!

These amazing ladies did it again!!

Back into the world of The Lochlann we go. Rowan is a fiery Princess starting of the next generation to this tale where she finds herself stuck in Socair territory and Lord Theodore. Loved both the book and this narration for the story.

Love it!

I had read the book before I downloaded it via Audible, so I knew that I would already enjoy this version. But it was even better than I thought it would be. The narrator is fantastic. I enjoyed all of her voices (though some sounded different than I imagined them to be while reading), and the pace at which she narrated. I was able to pick up on things that I missed the first time as I flew through the book. I highly recommend picking up the audible version of Scarlet Princess!
