Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Historia
Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

Breath of fresh air
I really enjoyed listening to this short book. It’s not typically the genre that I listen to but I still found myself wondering if Jax was going to solve the mystery surrounding her parents’ death. I’m excited to read on.

Fun quick read!
Narration is well done, good differentiations between characters and read at an easy to listen pace.
Story: a solid mystery with plenty of intrigue and twists. Add in a rising Royal and budding romance and you’ve got the gist of this first novel.
Parents: nothing to be concerned about, suitable for any YA reader!
Can’t wait for the next book!

Outstanding Story and Narration
Sarah E. Burr weaves an interesting and exciting mystery in the first book of this series which is sensationally and thoughtfully narrated by Melissa Green. This first book is a great introduction to the main characters and leaves me wanting to go straight into Book 2. The combination of the story and the narration are perfect companions and I can't wait to see what's next.

Flawed, but engaging nonetheless
This book was slow getting started, as we were treated to a lot of information up front about the social/political environment of the setting; although much of it seemed unnecessary, I suspect it will come into play more in later books in the series. Because my attention was not (yet) fully engaged, I noticed little things I might not have otherwise. For instance, although the fantasy setting employs much of the trappings of medieval Europe, the use of 20th-century words, such as when a character is "knackered" (1971) and a tavern is described as "upscale" (1966), felt jarring. Even Jax's name--an acronym created from her initials, her full name being Jacqueline Arienta Xavier--pulled me out of the story every time it was mentioned, since acronyms date only to 1940.
Then, too, certain words were used incorrectly, such as when Jax studied something "profusely." I'll admit, I looked it up to make sure I was not doing the author an injustice, and my instincts were correct: my dictionary defines profuse as "pouring forth liberally" or "exhibiting great abundance"; in other words, an indication of quantity, not depth. You can study something "closely," or "intently," but not "profusely." There was also imagery that seemed...odd. The one that sticks in my mind is "Dark circles hung from her eye sockets." Eww! Gross!
And yet...in spite of its flaws, once the doctor revealed that her parents had not died of natural causes, the book became very engrossing. Best of all, I thought I saw where the author was going, but...she surprised me! In a mystery, that's always a good thing! I thought Jax's apparent(?) love interest wasn't quite up to her weight--I preferred the captain of the guard--but he was a younger son of whom not much was expected, unlike Jax, who was groomed from childhood to rule the duchy someday, It should be interesting to see if/how he matures into an equal partner for her, or if the author has a surprise or two up her sleeve there, as well.
As for the narrator, I thought she was well-chosen for this book. There's always a question of how a narrator will voice characters of the opposite sex, and I thought she was wise not to indicate male speakers simply by a lower/deeper pitch, but by conveying some aspect of personality: for instance, strength for the captain of the guard, and fussiness for the doctor.
All in all, a strong 3.5 stars, which I've rounded up to 4.

Quite enjoyable
Nice little novella. I enjoyed hearing the virtues of the realm as well as those of Jacqueline. I enjoy a strong heroin who know what and how she wants to handle things. The story line was intriguing and I enjoyed how the plot unfolded. Anxiously waiting to be able to hear the up coming sequels.

Very Entertaining Mystery!
This book introduces you to Jax, (Duchess Jacqueline Arienta Xavier), after the sudden death of her parents brings her home to become the new Duchess of Saphire, Jax is told by a trusted adviser that her parents were murdered, With the help of Captain George Solomon, the Captain of the Ducal Guard, Jax investigates her parents murders, while intrigues, betrayal, and a surprise suitor within the palace could endanger the survival of the duchy and cost Jax her life.
The first book is a novella and is followed by four fun and intriguing books that were full of adventures and sweet romance. The first book might seem a little slow at first. It introduces the main characters that will continue through the entire series. The series does pick up and is very interesting and enjoyable to read.
Completely clean and sweet!

Loved it!!!
There are few things more fun to listen to than a strong female who can handle her business. This is very much our heroine. Jacqueline Arienta Xavier is a newly crowned duchy and once she finds out that her parents were murdered, it's on. She was determined and steadfast and without any hand-wringing or angst, went about finding the truth. Loved it!!!
This is a prequel and I will now delve into the other books in this series since I need more!
The narrator was a great choice! Green embodied the strength at the core of the main character while still spinning a great mystery.
