My next listen… just finished book 1 of the Shepherd King duology, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to use my current credit on Audible to get book 2.

This one had a lot of the usual fantasy tropes, but I still enjoyed it. I loved the romance. There were times I found the MC annoying, but she grew on me. I really enjoyed the plot though. I kept listening wanting to know what happens next. Cards imbue the holder with magic, but wander the woods without a charm and you might be infected with powerful but degenerative magic that doesn‘t require the use of a card. “Everything comes with a price.”
I thought this was very entertaining. I immediately put myself on the waitlist for the next book in the series.

🫣 What wild satirical ride on the Victorian Horror Bus! Imagine the Bronte sisters unleashed & unhinged.
Loved it as a spoof! 😳
What an interesting, engaging story.
I enjoyed the amateur sleuthing and unraveling the mystery.
I do however feel that some relationships were a bit awkward; as in the switch from dislike, distrust and loath to "You're the only one" just didn't quite work.

This is obviously the first in a series. The things I wanted explored are for later books; this is more about Zo's coming to grips with who.and what she is. It was fine, but it didn't grab me enough to want to read the subsequent books when they are published.
Maud lives under the thumb of her oppressive father, a religious zealot with sins. The manor house crumbles as his sanity does, as told through his journal-parallels only he can see mirroring a medieval manuscript. The reader can see the megalomania take him; Maud pays the price to keep her beloved fen (wild marshland) safe. I loved this book, and less than 500 words cannot do it justice!
I love this cover so much; except the creepy eye in the #keyhole
