The Curse of the Goddess

The Queen and the Heiress, Book 1

De: C.C. González

Narrado por: Ava Flynn

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

The Oracle foretold that Princess Valda Aither of the Sky Kingdom would discover her mate on her twenty-fifth birthday. They would lock eyes and find each other, as has happened since the dawn of time. Valda desperately wanted to believe the Oracle, but her hopes of finding her soulmate were shattered when she inexplicably lost her vision during her birthday celebration. Needing time to heal and adapt to her new reality, she was assigned an assistant, a young woman named Maris Era, who set her body and mind ablaze.

Maris just wanted to navigate life as quietly as possible. After her home in the Sea Kingdom was destroyed, she was adopted as a baby by a Skylian soldier and his wife. Maris was kept hidden for most of her life until tragedy struck. Alone and struggling to survive in a kingdom where Sealians are unwelcome, Maris found herself working in Oberon Castle, face-to-face with the man she believes is responsible for her suffering, while also caring for the next queen of the Sky Kingdom.

Despite her reluctance to accept a mate, Maris cannot resist her attraction to Valda and the need to be with her at all times. Yet, she must uncover the truth about who was behind her family's demise, but how can she do so when Valda consumes her every breath?

For mature listeners.

Great Sapphic Fantasy!

I really enjoyed listening to this book! It was a great fantasy! Princess Valda was a force to be reckoned. It was wonderful seeing her fall in love with Maris. I loved the energy between these two. Looking forward to book 2.

Amazing!

CCGonzalez incredible story and Ava Flynn marvelous perfomance, You can feel all the emotions x10. Amazing job!

Wow

Good world building. Amazing characters. Great story-fantasy, action, spicy romance. Fabulous narration. Can’t wait for the next book to be available on audiobook.

Story + Performance = Easy 5 stars

Pros: Great story. Narrator was fantastic. Spice was on point and necessary.

Con: I’m a little tired of seeing powerful female characters written to behave so densely to what’s happening around them. These characters would have known better. They wouldn’t have led with their emotions on every single thing. They didn’t need to be knocked down so many pegs for the next book.

Great sapphic love story!

I loved the story line and the slow burn romance between the two main characters. The spice was on point. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Great World Building!

I hesitated to purchase this book mostly because I wasn't sure if it would be sapphic enough or if the story would just drag on, but NO to all of that. CC Gonzalez has built an interesting world with magic and love and fated mates. Once I reached the middle of the story I was searching to see if I could get the next book in the series! It is SO worth a credit to listen to this book! This is my first listen to Ava Flynn narrating and I think she nailed it!

I'm looking forward to the next book in June!!!

All I wanted & more !

I never get around to reviews but wow this book was all I wanted and more. The voice actress was perfection, such diverse and interesting characters, and a world I’m ready to know so much more about. The spice is SPICYYYY, wlw, and the bi representation ?!?! Ahh. The descriptors of thick thighs and brown skin warms my heart. I can’t stop making all my friends read it,

Love it

I love the references to Puerto Rican culture and this was both perfectly written and narrated
