Cast in Ruin

Chronicles of Elantra, Book 7

De: Michelle Sagara

Narrado por: Khristine Hvam

Seven corpses are discovered in the streets of a Dragon’s fief - all identical, down to their clothing.

Kaylin Neya is assigned to discover who they were, who killed them - and why. Is the evil lurking at the borders of Elantra preparing to cross over?

At least the investigation delays her meeting with the Dragon Emperor. And as the shadows grow longer over the fiefs, Kaylin must use every skill she’s ever learned to save the people she’s sworn to protect. Sword in hand, dragons in the sky, this time there’s no retreat and no surrender….

The Best One Yet

As always a well written story and an exciting plot, which now gives a clearer picture of Elantra and the dragons history, with a return of all my favorite characters. it's remarkable how few new characters are introduced within each installment of the series; yet the book lacks nothing. it's always a pleasure to read Michelle Sagara Chronicles of Elantra, leaving me to wonder what will happen next in Kaylin's progressing life.

P.S_ I own the Chronicles of Elantra series in both paperbacks, eBooks, and audiobooks; sometimes having two copy of the same title because of my need to read the book an hour after its publish, then buying the audiobook when it's release later.

wow, what fun. listened to the whole series.

What did you love best about Cast in Ruin?

Decidedly the best one yet! and I know I say this about every last one that comes out but.. Michelle fascinates me with the stories. Tying the lose ends from each book on the next and always leaving something to be wondered. I love it!!! I am definitely looking forward to the next one and excited to see what's gonna come of the new introduced character.

What did you like best about this story?

That it's going in a direction in which Kaylin's character is growing (though slowly - and this, in my opinion, due to the fact that not a lot of time passes between each book/story). I love that the main character's feelings are getting exposed and that there's indication something might happen in that aspect. I look forward to and hope for some

Have you listened to any of Khristine Hvam’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to all the cast books. I started with the Free novella, which is was a genius promoting idea, I might add! I would probably never thought of downloading these books if it wasn't for that. Once I did though, I was captivated by Khristine Hvam's voice and performance. The story was great and KH really brought it to life. I hope she narrates all of Michelle's books.. I will certainly by them all!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I actually almost did! I was completely

Phenomenal! Buy it, buy it, buy it!!!

All Grown Up...

I was low on credits and looking for something new. I tend to stick squarely to romance novels, and vampires, witches, and werewolves. Needless to say I was browsing free novellas and came across Cast in Moonlight. It was soon that I was hooked, it still was a fantasy and it dealt with a side of the supernatural I had yet to consider. I have now read every book in the series, and I am aching for more. What a good storyline. I feel like I know Kaylin I am empathic to her cause, and I still feel on the edge of my seat with each new book. It's such and interesting way to picture a fictional world, and what it would be like to have to deal with the day to day in a time an place unlike ours. The storyline is deep, and funny, giving way to a strong willed child and her life as see grows into a formidable women. Each new book builds on the last, however unlike most series of books, the ending doesn't leave you hanging. Michelle closes it up in such a way that you want more, but you also know that this portion of Kaylin life is complete.

Another Great Book in Series

Even more depth added into Michelle Sagara's fantasy world. A good series to get caught up in especially since the series is almost finishef being released.

Fantastic

I love Michelle Sagara’s works, and listening to them while knitting or spinning is just so peaceful. The voice actor is IMMACULATE, so I can tell the different characters apart with little difficulty, and there are very few mistakes.

Great Entertainment

Sagara delivers again! Elantra is my Middle Earth and each story Sagara tells brings laughter and hours of enjoyment. Even more, the stories so good I get to reread and enjoy them all over again each time a new book comes out.

I loved this one

Great story line! The author does an outstanding job of keeping things fresh. I listen to theae books while I work.

A favorite series

I discovered this series not long ago and I'm slowly adding all the books. With some vision problems interrupting my reading, I've gone almost exclusively to Audible books, and those I check out from my local library. I'm excited to add this book to my personal library, thanks to a price reduction. Michelle Sagara has created a strong fantasy world and peopled it with characters that live and breathe in my imagination. Khristine Hvam does a terrific job with the voice characterizations and her constancy in those characterizations from book to book, especially considering the big cast of characters, is amazing.

Kaylin Neya, the main character, is faced with her dark past in this book and watching her grow makes it one of my favorites in the series.

best one so far

performance was great. favorite book in the series so far. so much character growth.
