Sea of Shadows

Age of Legends, Book 1

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Jennifer Ikeda

They hear the spirits.

They must obey.

In the Forest of the Dead, where the empire’s worst criminals are exiled, twin sisters Moria and Ashyn are charged with a dangerous task. For they are the Keeper and the Seeker, and each year they must quiet the enraged souls of the damned.

Only this year, the souls will not be quieted.

Ambushed and separated by an ancient evil, the sisters’ journey to find each other sends them far from the only home they’ve ever known. Accompanied by a stubborn imperial guard and a dashing condemned thief, the girls cross a once-empty wasteland, now filled with reawakened monsters of legend, as they travel to warn the emperor. But a terrible secret awaits them at court - one that will alter the balance of their world forever.

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Kelley Armstrong comes a captivating new series that blends elements of fantasy and horror with the pulse-pounding action and romance that have earned her a devoted following worldwide.

great story

It was a bit awkward and stuttering at the start, but about 2 chapters in she had my full attention! Great story, going to start the 2nd book now! haha

Intriguing plotline, but bogged down by boring

I usually enjoy Kelley Armstrong novels. I love the Other World Series, and there have been a variety of other novels she’s written that I really liked. The plot of this is good, but so much extemporaneous crap goes on that I would get completely disoriented as to what was going on with the story. She’s delaying the romantic build up with all this extra crap. Obviously all the characters have the chemistry, so the storyline needs to move forward at a quicker pace. Ultimately, I tuned out a good portion of the book just to finish it. I won’t buy the next.

Another great series from Armstrong

Sea of Shadows is a wonderful start to a new series. Evoking a world similar to medieval Japan, Armstrong brings new monsters and shadows to her fans. I am looking forward to the next installation.

Not her best work

I love Kelley Armstrong’s books, but this one is not up to par. We move from one attack to another. I think what is lacking is even the slightest hint of humor or a few minutes of happiness interspersed with all the attacks of malevolent beings and humans. Still, I just ordered the second book in the series, hoping to find a spark of Kelley’s usual talent there!

Sea of Shadows Review

Where does Sea of Shadows rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

top!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Moria, she's so brave and strong.... and seriously badass!

What about Jennifer Ikeda’s performance did you like?

The emotion was perfect.

Any additional comments?

There's a reason why Kelley Armstrong is one of my all time favorite authors. She creates such wonderful worlds of magic and mystery. I love the strong female characters that she imagines as well. This story was unlike any I have really read before and I loved it! I love the animal counterparts, they made the animal lover in me smile. I cant wait to continue this series and see what happens next.

Such a boring performance

I've listened to several books read by this performer- this will probably be my last. Even the most interesting book becomes boring - very monotonous and I end up falling asleep.

Great story very hooked. Amazing performance!

Loved the way it hooks you right away. Great characters, really enjoyed the changing perspective between the sisters. Fantastic performance from Jennifer Ikeda as always!

Mediocre

Worth the time to listen, but not one of Kelley Armstrong's best works of fiction. I guess she's spoiled me with her other series.

love listening to this

I live Kelley Armstrong books, this is on the top of my list and can't wait for more books of this series to come out.

Don't do it. Wish I hadn't!

Don't do it. Wish I hadn't! Doesn't sound like a Kelley Armstrong book! Much too juvenile for one of hers.
