Could’ve Been a Series
Reviewed: 12-31-24
I enjoyed this story and appreciate the irony of it being offered through an Amazon-owned company. Generally, I liked the plot and the pacing, but like some others, I found the end of the book to be somewhat rushed after the “big reveal.” It felt as though it was the end of a book within a series and we were left with the cliff-hanger.
On the performance side, the standout to me was Rachel Dratch. I’ve previously seen her only in comedies, so hearing her in a dramatic role was great. For the most part, the audio mixing was balanced but the use of dialogue behind narration threw me a little bit. Not necessarily a bad thing, it was just different.

Story
Kianthe and Reyna are on the hunt for dragon eggs to save their hometown—but it requires making a deal with Diarn Arlon, lord of the legendary Nacean River. Simply capture the river pirate Serina, who’s been plaguing Arlon's supply chains, and bring her in for justice. Easy peasy. Begrudgingly, the couple joins forces with Bobbie, one of Arlon’s constables determined to capture the pirate. Except Bobbie and Serina have a more complicated history than anyone realized, and it might jeopardize everything.

A Sweet Read
Reviewed: 12-11-24
While I must admit this series isn’t my usual cup of literary tea, it’s a fun and easy read. I came upon it after reading Thorne’s This Gilded Abyss (which was terrific) and had not previously read a “cozy” novel, but I understand the novelty now. Narrator Jessica Threet did a wonderful job. She provided a particularly noteworthy performance of the dastardly pirate captain, who is described as having an accent that couldn’t be ascribed to one place, and Threet masterfully shifts accents mid-sentence, which was quite neat to experience as a listener. The writing itself could use a little extra polishing at some points, but overall I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easily digestible narrative—perfect for a drive or before bed. Looking forward to the additional installations next year!
