Ekaterina suspects he's far from the fool people think him. But before she can find out what lies beneath his facade, she is kidnapped!

Trapped in a castle at the mercy of a possessive Jinn, Ekaterina knows her chances of being found are slim. Now fortune, a fool, and a paper bird are the only things she can count on - along with her own clever mind and intrepid heart....

One of her best stories!

I loved this one! The story was fantastic and I loved the narrators! The romance was so believable, I would say more but I'll probably give something away. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Love Mercedes Lackey!

I have read or listened to the books by Mercedes Lackey for years. Some, we had the books, in paper no less, and then purchased the audiobook. Now I listen to stories I have already (text or audiobook) and still enjoy them. Her plots are interesting and the character development is great. She always has the perfect narrator, this time Gabra Zackman. Definitely recommend this audiobook!

fascinating

Original twists and turns. this book was hard to put down. I loved everything about it.

Addicted to this series!

I love these stories, each is very loosely based upon a fairy tale. This one is The Little Mermaid because of a mermaid and a land guy, however that is the only similarity. These books are easy to listen to and have creative plots.

Surprising

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Jinn has the same ideas about hiding things as Madam Hecuba. Only a few people are going to get that reference so it's not really a spoiler.

can not wait to download the next one!

lovely story telling of a delightful twist on clasic tales.
plenty of variety of tone and accent made it easy to know which character was speaking each time she switched

My favorite fantasy series

When I just want a fun get away, these books are my go-tos. And Gabra Zachman's narration is icing on the cake.

Changing Tradition

This is another in the series involving both the magic of the tradition and how it adapts to change. The writing and characters are well done and Sasha is particularly endearing. I felt the Jinn was just a tad too one-dimensional, but overall the story was solid and well developed. Good Stuff.

A bit slow

I really like the series so far, but this book was a bit slow at the start and every now and again I found myself thinking of something else. I did enjoy that some of the previous characters played a substantial role in the story

Decent book, great series

This book was not as good as the first two, and at times I found myself zoning out and not bothering to rewind and see what I missed. There was nothing particularly uninteresting about it, but nothing especially gripping either. However, I love the series and the world so much that I fully intend to purchase the next one. Immediately, in fact!
