Rain of Shadows and Endings

The Legacy Series, Book 1

De: Melissa Roehrich

Narrado por: Laura Horowitz, Christian Leatherman

A world the gods forgot.

Of all the worlds and life they created, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful and overthrow them. Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere.

A historical event.

Forced to a life of servitude, the Fae are required to provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, the eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of the six Kingdoms. To be chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is the greatest honor, and for the first time in a millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far.

A chosen that was never meant to be.Tessalyn Asura was as forgotten as the realm. But when she finds herself the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, she winds up serving in the darkest Kingdom of them all. The secrets within the Arius Kingdom are meant to be learned and kept, but this was never the life she wanted. Fighting not only the fate thrust upon her, but the temptation to lose herself to desire, Tessa will do anything to escape her new destiny. Until she starts to realize maybe their world wasn’t as forgotten as they thought, and maybe she’s the reason why.

Rain of Shadows and Endings is book one in The Legacy Series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is new adult dark fantasy romance series and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners.

Wtf did i just listen to.

Most of this book is boring and repetitive. I skipped 3 hrs ahead near the end and still didn’t miss much. I also don’t see the point of the cliffhanger. By the end of the story i was so bored I’m not sure I’ll bother with the other books in this series at all

Insufferable

This book is so difficult to finish. The protagonists are extremely annoying. Worst waste of a credit. I would not recommend

So good and Unpredictable!!!

This story kept me reeled in the entire time!!! A little bit Dark Romance along with amazing fantasy and world building!! I cant wait for the next one!! The only thing that annoyed me a bit was how whiny Tessa can be at times but as she comes into her power and badassery I think that will change!!!

Banger!!

I loved this book!! Theon's narrator was perfect. The banter was top tier. And wheww he was mean... but I devoured every single second. I cant wait to read book 2.

You won’t want to stop

I stumbled upon this series and wow it’s SO FREAKING GOOD! I love the MC but I could throat punch the somewhat love interest. For me that’s what makes it such a good book it’s not your typical enemies to lovers. I can’t get enough and cannot wait for the third book to be out!

rain of shadows

i LOVED the narrator’s voice for theon ! i couldn’t imagine someone else voicing him the way this narrator does . i think his voice pulls you into this book , manipulates you ( in a way ) just like theon does in the book . he plays him so well & i could literally imagine all the scenes playing out in my head . this book in general was such a good read , however it is a very dark fantasy romance , so check the trigger warnings ! the way the author plays out how trauma can shape a person , chefs kiss . the writing is so good , the world building , the magic system , & the politics itself all around just so good !

Difficult Characters

I will admit that the main characters & their dynamics are frustrating, but it got me more invested into the story.

Favorite read of 2024

I have been obsessed with Romantacy books this year. This book did an incredible job with characters, world building, complex magic systems, I seriously can’t think of one thing I would change. I can’t give enough positive feedback. I cannot wait to read book two! The narrators did a fanatic job. I don’t have one critique , and I’m picky. Their performances were flawless. Bravo!!

Loved the storyline

I absolutely loved the storyline. The female narrator is incredible. However, the male narrator is so difficult to listen to. The two are not matched up. She is far superior and I wish she would ave make the only one.

Outstanding

The story was excellent with unexpected magic and layers. Laura Horowitz did an absolutely wonderful job as usual!!!!
