Kingdom of Shadows and Wings

De: Nina Frost

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A world of magic, desire, and intrigue awaits at Flighthaven, where a young woman defies the odds to find her true calling.

Nineteen-year-old Lark Axton has lived her entire life sequestered behind the castle's walls, overshadowed by her overprotective mother. Now, the king has ordered Lark to assume her missing sister’s role as a warrior in training at Aclaris’s flight academy, where the kingdom's sons and daughters train to battle their winged enemies and control dragons.

There’s just one problem. Lark is terrified of flying.

Forced to the deadly training grounds of Flighthaven, Lark must survive the danger that stalks the academy if she wants to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance and survive the upcoming treacherous trial. Unfortunately, her sinfully irresistible, arrogant and downright irritating flight instructor is determined to make her life hell.

But enemies lurk within the academy, and no one is who they seem, including Lark herself. As the trial begins, the same explosive secrets that tore Lark's sister away from Flighthaven now threaten Lark.

With her life hanging in the balance, Lark's ability to unlock the secret magic within her will either save...or kill her.

Kingdom of Shadows and Wings weaves the thrill of dragons, elemental magic, and forbidden romance into an exhilarating fantasy adventure that’s perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Zodiac Academy.

I enjoyed the story and characters.

I do not like the robotic voice! It districts from the story and emotions of the characters.

AI Voice is awful, story is okay

In the beginning, I was really impressed with the AI narration. As the book went on, it seems like they stopped quality control checking it. Mispronounced words and strange inflections in the voice certainly took away from the story.

Horrible AI Narration

Do not listen to the audiobook version. The AI narration is atrocious and does nothing for the story.

virtual voice is not enjoyable

isn't the same as a live person, no energy and mispronounced a lot of words

The weighting was amazing.

Hated the voice and the way it was read. Real readers are so much better!

AI reading these books just destroys the magic of audio book listening

I just couldn’t do it with the AI reading. I DNR- from what I could tell it is a really good book though.

Virtual Voice

Narration doesn’t work - no emotions, just don’t! It does a disservice to the book and author.

AI narrating is the worst

I think this audiobook was free, at least I hope so. I struggled mightly to get thru the AI narrator. Not for me!

story is good

the book was not bad the AI reading was hard to listen to at times due to not quite understanding the difference between her thoughts and actually what the main character was saying. overall not bad

Terrible Virtual Narrator

The story is probably good, but I could not get past the terrible Virtual narrator. Mispronunciation of words, saying the word, saying the word explanation mark, totally detracted from the story and my listening experience. I will not purchase another book with a virtual narrator until advancements have been made.
