Myrthe was born with the ability to turn her tears into wishes. But when a granted wish goes wrong, she is cursed: the next tear she sheds will kill her. She must travel to the Well to break the curse before it can claim her life—and before the king's militairen find her. To survive the journey, Myrthe must harden her heart to keep herself from crying even a single tear.

The orphaned Elsie Camden learned as a girl that there were two kinds of wizards in the world: those who pay for the power to cast spells and those, like her, born with the ability to break them. But as an unlicensed magic user, her gift is a crime. Commissioned by an underground group known as the Cowls, Elsie uses her spellbreaking to push back against the aristocrats and help the common man. Elite magic user Bacchus Kelsey is one elusive spell away from his mastership when he catches Elsie breaking an enchantment. To protect her secret, Elsie strikes a bargain.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Once there was a young woman from a well-to-do New England family who never quite fit with the drawing rooms and parlors of her kin. Called instead to the tangled woods and wild cliffs surrounding her family’s estate, Margaret Harlowe grew both stranger and more beautiful as she cultivated her uncanny power. Soon, whispers of “witch” dogged her footsteps, and Margaret’s power began to wind itself with the tendrils of something darker.

Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter.

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

These assorted merchants, gardeners, barber-surgeons, midwives, instrument makers, mathematics teachers, engineers, alchemists, and other experimenters, she contends, formed a patchwork scientific community whose practices set the stage for the Scientific Revolution.

Historia
When Victoriana Greenmantle is summoned to represent her paladin order in an unusual quest, the timing couldn't be worse. Having just witnessed the horrific death of her mentor, she is barely a paladin at all. Worse, she has a trapped demon on her hands, and if anyone discovers she hasn't quite managed to cast it out, she will be made to suffer consequences worse than death. The summoning requires Victoriana to journey to the newly revealed Aching Monastery and there to search for and recover the fabled Cup of Tears on behalf of her order. But her order is not the only one seeking this relic

Historia
Iris concocts the perfect curse for Pike: one that will turn him into a witch. But just as she’s about to dispel it, a bird swoops down and steals the curse before flying away. If the bird dies, the curse will be unleashed—and the bird is a powerful amplifier, and unleashing the curse would turn not just Pike, but everyone in the region, into a witch. New witches have no idea how to control their magic and the consequences would be dire.

Very slow and horrible ending

There are good reasons for the heroine's early lack of agency but she then meanders about doing nothing for an incredibly long time, long after those reasons have been removed. She spends the first half of the book drifting about like a ghost, making no decisions and taking no actions.
The writing style was really enjoyable for me though, and compelling enough paired with Alyssa Bresnahan's soothing performance to make this a relaxing, laid back story I could keep listening to, even if it crawled at a snail's pace.
Slow, slow read with heroine who does nothing

But I digress. Prevailing with what feels true is what Nora, the main character, had to inevitably realize. But the story is long and I am frustrated with her choices. No spoilers but the end found me wanting.

Unlike many fantasy books where the heroine ends up having latent magical powers or are a great fighter or a rebel, our main character here is just a normal woman who stumbled into a bad thing. It’s a darker story for sure and I can’t wait for the sequel!
Loved it!

First, I want to address the pacing. The pacing of this book did not bother me. It has a slow start, but I feel the "spirited away" beginning is necessary to understanding many of the book's conflicts and the protagonist.
I actually agree with another listener's assertion that it wasn't very "thinking" of the protagonist to push her modern world's views as heavily as she did. I also feel that a doctorate student ought to have the sense to try adapting better and exercise her modern thinking in more practical, pragmatic ways.
However, I found this writing choice forgivable. The protagonist came across as very intelligent in other ways and was still likeable enough. She is a bit of a romance novel cliche, but then again, most romance novel heroines fit this mold. That is why it is a cliche/trope, and I have seen a lot worse.
What makes this book truly shine are it's other characters. The world and its characters are truly captivating. I absolutely loved every unique and even minor individual Nora encountered. I love the unique take on magic.
The last aspect of negative reviews I will touch on is the matter of Aruendiel murdering his wife. It would be deeply unsettling for Nora to simply accept this event, as other listeners have pointed out. However, I never got the impression that she was ever comfortable with this tidbit of information. I'll admit, I kept thinking "something doesn't fit with this" the entire time I was listening. The way Aruendiel was presented, I didn't feel he was the sort of character who would actually murder his wife. I kept waiting to find out that it was an accident or he was enchanted/she was etc. But nothing like that was ever stated. I still feel like we are missing a part of the story though, so I will withhold final judgement until I read the sequel.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed the book, even if I disagreed with one or two minor writing choices. If you are considering this book, don't let the negative reviews discourage you. Give the book a fair chance. You need to listen past the point where the heroine is rescued. It doesn't truly become interesting until that point. In my opinion, it is well worth the initial crawl.
This Book Deserves a More Positive Review
