Court of Ravens and Ruin

A Brides of Mist and Fae Novel (The Shadow Bound Queen, Book 1)

De: Eliza Raine

Narrado por: Lia Holland

A defiant human woman. A dark fae Prince. Two enemies bound to a marriage that could destroy their world.

Reyna was born a valuable slave to the Gold Court, imprisoned her whole life in a glittering palace by sadistic, greedy fae.

When the palace is raided, she takes her opportunity to escape. But the raid is led by her worst nightmare. The Prince of the most feared fae of all; the Shadow Court. And he wants one thing.

Her. The copper-haired, rune-marked human.

Reyna doesn’t know why the Prince has kidnapped her. But when he announces her as his betrothed, she knows that she must escape before she is eternally bound to the monster behind the mask.

Only, when he takes the mask off, he isn’t what she expects. He’s lethal, beautiful and exudes sin. And he needs her.

Drawn into a deadly world shrouded in secrets, and desperate to keep her own hidden, Reyna must find a way out. If she doesn’t, she risks more than just death. She risks giving everything to her intoxicating captor.

This is the first book in the Shadow Bound Queen series, and is inspired by Norse mythology and Vikings. Sexy fae Vikings. It has Hades and Persephone, Beauty and the Beast vibes, and is slow-burn enemies to lovers fantasy romance with a burn-the-world-down-for-her hero. The series builds in steam and is filled with magic, myth, and delicious tension.

Brides of Mist and Fae is a brand new world from Eliza Raine, unconnected to the Dark Gods of Olympus.

Interesting

I don’t think the narrator was that bad. The story is interesting. Getting book two :)

nope

Didn't learn anything about story. Not getting 2nd book hoping something to find out if anything happens.
to be a slave she is mouthy. act like a 10 year old.

What the..m

This was a wild ride! Everybody had secrets and no one trusts anyone else!

And the ending?!?! So glad I don't have to wait for the second book!

Great book/ terrible narrator

Great book but the narrator sounded like a robot. I still think it’s worth reading but I wouldn’t recommend listening.

Great book, not my favorite narrator

I like the characters and the plot/world building the author gives us. I didn’t like how it just ended though, I’m a cliffhanger kinda girl!
The narrator isn’t so horrible that I couldn’t listen to her narrating the story she has a pleasant voice but her tone is the same though out the book, she didn’t give much of a performance which I would like to see if she narrates book 2. Overall, it is a great book and I will be on the lookout for book 2!

Great listen

I’ve been wanting to listen to this for a while and I’m thrilled I finally was able to! I really enjoyed both the storyline and the characters. A lot happened in the plot without being too overwhelming. It was a creative plot and a great listen. Hoping to start book two right away.

Holy Annoying

Two things had me rating this so low. First, the narrator should find another line of work because she she seems to have trouble with inflection. Second, the protagonist is so amazingly obnoxious that it was hard to listen for more than 30 minutes at a time before getting so annoyed that I had to shut it off.

Couldn’t put it down

I picked this for the potential romance and was surprised by the fabulous story line! Love it

Blah

This had a great foundation for a really good story, it just dragged on. Nothing really exciting happening. Didn’t love the narration. The book also ended in the middle of a chase scene which was weird. Just really underwhelming. Not sure if I will get book 2. Don’t really want to audible it.

Had so much potential......

This book needs to be "remastered/revamped" and re-read with a new narrator!!! When I read the synopsis, I was so excited to listen to this book, but I was so underwhelmed by the first 6 chapters, I couldn't even finish it. From the very beginning everything feels so rushed, and the world and characters development is so lacking. The narration of this book only enhances this book's pitfalls. The narration of the king and many other characters makes it sound like we are listening to a children's book. " You there. I will have you with the copper hair" "She will be mine" "Oh no. You didn't get picked did you?" "What are you going to do?" "Silence!!!!" "I will run away" and the narrator is so monotone when reading, that it just makes it painful to listen to :(
