Queen Mother

Angel Sworn, Book 1

De: Jeff Wheeler

Narrado por: Kate Rudd

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler weaves a mesmerizing spell of wonder and peril in this eagerly awaited epic fantasy series…

Deep in the mountains lies a valley with a secret to immortality—Clairvaux—where the Queen Mother reigns supreme. Hidden within the cliffs and rocky paths and shrouded by waterfalls, the Gallows Tree grows immortal fruit. But only the loyal angel sworn can partake and live forever, weaving magic with grafting wands and bonding to animals to borrow their powers while balancing the good in all living things.

But the idyllic hymns of angelic choirs shatter when death comes to Clairvaux. Bodies strewn and ravaged by claws whisper of a nameless evil threatening the angel sworn and all earthborn. Might Cimree, a young healer in training, hold the key to unraveling the mystery that menaces Clairvaux and the distant bastions it protects? And could a fallen angel held captive deep in the dungeons of Montheron have the answers Cimree seeks? Or will a new magic that transforms animals into monsters force an exodus to a safe haven before all is lost?

super great 👌 👍 thank you 😊

this is the first one I've listened to besides the harbinger series. and I really like the harbinger series.

Great start to the series!

I was completely immersed in this story. The writing is done so well that it was easy to get lost in the story and go along with the flow.
I feel that the characters are well done and believable. I loved the character arcs of the FMC and MMC. There is so much intrigue with Azra and his backstory. I loved getting little snippets of his story woven throughout the main story. There were several characters involved in the main story that I enjoyed learning about and hope to learn more about in the series.
Cimree starts in this book as a young, naive person who has grown up in the Angel Sworn community. It was interesting to learn of the world through her eyes.
I loved the narrator, Kate Rudd. Her voice is pleasant to listen to and she is consistent with all of the different voices. I recommend her as a narrator.

When the angels are evil at worst and prideful bastards at best.

Jeff has flipped the Story of Genesis, but how far it’ll go is yet to be seen. Too much said will spoil the book, but my title explains my viewpoint on the things seen in the book so far. Kate Rudd is awesome as always, so that’s all great overall.

However, my frustration with the story is probably just me. It feels as if the choices made by characters are occurring because the plot needs it to happen.

The book is worth the read, and I intend to get the next book in this series, but by the 2nd book I expect I’ll know where I stand.

Interesting Story

This fantasy novel has many unexpected we turns. The author never disappoints when it comes to the characters and the plot. An excellent book, and I look forward to the sequel.

Excellent 5 stars

I absolutely love Jeff Wheeler’s work! I just finished the Invisible College collection and was stunned when I finished it. I want more of this series
