Acerca de esta escucha
The first in a new fantasy duology, The Glass Spare is a gorgeously told tale of love, loss, and deadly power, from Lauren DeStefano, the best-selling author of the Chemical Garden series. Perfect for fans of Shannon Hale and Renee Ahdieh.
Wilhelmina Heidle, the fourth child and only daughter of the king of the world's wealthiest nation, has grown up in the shadows. Kept hidden from the world in order to serve as a spy for her father - whose obsession with building his empire is causing a war - Wil wants nothing more than to explore the world beyond her kingdom, if only her father would give her the chance.
Until one night Wil is attacked, and she discovers a dangerous secret. Her touch turns people into gemstone. At first Wil is horrified - but as she tests its limits, she's drawn more and more to the strange and volatile ability. When it leads to tragedy, though, Wil is forced to face the destructive power within her and finally leave her home to seek the truth and a cure.
But finding the key to her redemption puts her in the path of a cursed prince who has his own ideas for what to do with Wil's power.
With a world on the brink of war and a power of ultimate destruction, can Wil find a way to help the kingdom that's turned its back on her, or will she betray her past and her family forever?

Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother.

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts.

Historia
Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased—and not always true—divinations. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so-not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he’s crowned at the end of the summer—unless Violet does something about it. But when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus's love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom—all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride.

Billie Fulford does a wonderful job with narrating the novel. I especially enjoyed the voice Fulford gives to Wil’s little brother.
All of the characters were unique and interesting—all except for Wilhelmina. Luckily, the supporting characters carried the plot along even when Wilhelmina’s indecisiveness was irritating and stalled progress. I do admit that Wil does have some growth towards the end of the novel. Wil’s powers are new and interesting, and I did find myself hoping to find out what exactly they were and how she was cursed to have them. The world of The Glass Spare was in fun mix of steampunk and fantasy, combining technology with magic and whirring gears. The world building could have used some more explanations, but I was decently engaged. DeStafano’s writing has a mysterious tone that is special only to her works. This novel would pare well with DeStafano’s other unique works, and especially with Chemical Garden trilogy.

Also, this is a YA novel, which is often read by 11 and 12-year-olds. As such, I always object (only in a YA novel) that the characters have sex. Doubly bad if the characters are 15-year-olds. (Note: happens in the second book.)
Since this book doesn’t end. It really should have been one 15 hour novel, since a lot of the endless talking could have been edited out.
Story doesn’t finish (and a warning for parents)

Wil mysteriously develops a power that turns any living thing under her touch to gemstone. This takes her on a quest to find a marveler who can remove her curse while avoiding the war that's brewing. I loved the concept of turning people into gemstones with a touch.
I loved the sibling relationships between Wil, Gerdie and Owen. Then you have Loom who is a banished prince and Zay is his traveling companion. There is hardly any romance in this book. Which is a good thing? The world was probably this book strongest point.
My issues with the book are there wasn't much of an explanation for the Kings motivations. It was predictable and a sluggish read for me. I just felt that something was missing and I never felt engrossed in the story or characters. There were only a few chapters where something important was taking place others felt like fillers.
This is one book that definitely needs a sequel.
