Daughter of the Moon

Tales of Inthya, Book 5

By: Effie Calvin

Narrated by: Brenda Scott Wlazlo

Four months ago, Netheia Isinthi failed to take her father’s throne from her older sister. After refusing to publicly support the new empress, she is banished to Ieflaria’s capital city, Birsgen, where she anticipates a long and uneventful exile.

Klavida of Nalova is a student at the university established by Princess Esofi for the study of magic. She has come from the far north researching Talcia’s creatures—or so she claims. After a chance meeting brings the two together, Klavida wants nothing to do with the angry, ill-mannered princess. But when Netheia offers Klavida access to the royal library, Klavida decides she can tolerate her after all.

As they spend time together, Klavida realizes that Netheia is intensely lonely and has never known genuine friendship. She becomes determined to show her that there is more to life than the pursuit of power and that a peaceful life of freedom can be more satisfying than ruling an empire.

But Netheia’s patron goddess is not ready to accept that she has lost the Xytan Empire—and neither are Netheia’s most ardent supporters.

A wonderful book!

I love this entire series, one of the best lesbian fantasy books out there. I can’t wait for the next one!

Highly Magical

Deep into the series but very distinct on its own, this novel felt more poignant and heartfelt than the previous. Well worth a read and, for myself, the ending was *chef’s kiss*

So good

This series just warms my heart! I feel like it’s a second world/life for me. I listen to the books over and over. This book was a wonderful addition! I hope Effie never stops the series and that the narrator doesn’t change. Her voice matches the series very well. Ugh can’t wait for the next one. In the meantime, I’ll start from book one again LOL

Beautiful story, great narrator!

This series is so heart warming, and this one seemed even better than the last one. Might even be my favorite so far. That little cliffhanger though, come on, not cool. Can't wait for the next one!

I screamed when I saw it was out

I am SO happy that this book was released!! I’ve been waiting on the audiobook to come out the moment the paperback was released and it did NOT disappoint!!!!

Honestly Perfect

I'm going to keep spoilers and plot references out of this review, so here'e my very non-specific recommendation to buy this audiobook:

Almost every single thing I hoped would happen eventually (either in this specific book or during previous books in this series) was included in this book. There is only one little thing I'm hoping for that this book (and others) have heavily suggested will eventually happen so I can't be too disappointed that it hasn't happened yet.

Overall, this is a very satisfying story and I am extremely excited to see what will happen next in the series. I already have my hopes/suspicions about who may eventually get a book of their own. :D

Okay, so this review is kind of all over the place, but 11/10 I definitely recommend.

Oh come on!!

Great listen but that ending come on I wanted to know what happened!! I think I know what happens but still that's such a tease lol

... more please

I luv this series. Luv the characters, luv the story. I hope theres more, cuz the cosmic/celestial/gods realm thing happening in the background is very intriguing.
