Summary
The tears of the ocean. The heart of the flame.
Lochlann Wilde is preparing for his final challenge: entering the Oriel of Fire, the most dangerous of the elemental dimensions. Acquiring the essence of fire will score him another powerful guardian, as well as complete Aphrodite’s amulet.
But the world outside the oriel has its own challenges. Sylvain has discovered something difficult about his heritage. Aphrodite also keeps dropping unsettling hints about Locke’s true nature.
Most pressing of all is the mystery of the parchment that cursed Queen Aurelia to begin with, the only clue that may lead to the truth about the Withering. Who is behind it? Why did they engineer the plague?
And how can Locke and Sylvain stop them from infecting the cosmos?

Family Revelations
Sons of Sorrow is the fourth book in the Wild Hearts series, a wonderful paranormal/fantasy series with adorable summoners and their hot elf boyfriends. This series needs to be read in order since it follows the same characters and has a series arching plot.
After mastering the first three elemental Oriels, it is now time for Locke and his crew to take on the Oriel of Fire – a much more daunting task. I was really curious how the author was going to create a fire world, and was very impressed with what he came up with. It was not what I was expecting at all but it made so much sense. There were a lot of revelations about families that were made in this book (looking at you Locke, Sylvain, and Evander), but there’s still so many questions still left. The humor and action was just as wonderful and entertaining as always. The banter was terrific and I love the characters and how they are growing and developing. The romance between Locke and Sylvain is so beautiful and tender, it’s amazing to think that these two characters hated each other at first sight. There even seems to be a budding romance for our favorite pixie, Satchel.
The audiobook was narrated by Greg Boudreaux who does a fantastic job, like always. I love how Greg can voice each character so perfectly and create an immersive listening experience that’s captivating and fun. The audiobook production was well done.

Loving this series!
More meddling by Aphrodite, more sass, banter and love from Sylvain and Locke, more adventure and twists - in short, more fun for the listener to be had!!
I am in awe of Nazri Noor's ability to make you believe in the story, to make you wish that you're friends with the MCs and part of their adventures (well maybe not the really dangerous bits ;)) Throw in the narration by Greg Boudreaux and I have been captivated by this series from book 1.
The downside? I am dreading the end of the series.....

Story - 4 stars; Narration - 5 stars - 4.5 overall
Sons of Sorrow is the penultimate instalment in Nazri Noor’s Wild Hearts series, and we re-join Locke and Sylvain as they’re preparing for their most dangerous assignment yet – to enter the Oriel of Fire to find a fourth guardian and secure the Heart of the Flame to complete the magical amulet given to Locke by the goddess Aphrodite. Locke hopes he and Sylvain will be able to find the source of the Withering and stop it, once all four stones are securely set. In the meantime, they pay a slightly uncomfortable visit to the Verdance – their first since the Withering attacked – where Sylvain is confronted by some shocking information about his origins. He doesn’t have much time to process this, however, as the visit to the Oriel looms, and he and Locke are joined unexpectedly by their friend Bruna’s sister – Luna – who needs some Heart of the Flame for a school project, and the perennial thorn in Locke’s side, Evander Skink (the Evil Twink).
As always with this author, the story is fast-paced, fun and inventive, with some vividly written set-pieces, snarky banter and a great ensemble cast. Revelations come thick and fast – Locke discovers something completely unexpected about his parentage, too – although that poses just as many questions as it delivers answers.
Greg Boudreaux’s narration is, as always, a joy to listen to. His vocal characterisations for the recurring characters are consistent with earlier books, and the additions to the cast are also distinctly and appropriately portrayed. Campy Evander Skink is a hoot, and at the other end of the spectrum is Headmaster Shivers, who speaks in a kind of hoarse whisper that is definitely unsettling. Everything about the performance works perfectly; the emotions are expertly realised, the banter sparkles, and the strength of the love and affection between Locke and Sylvain is palpable.
Nazri Noor’s imagination seems to know no bounds! Sons of Sorrow is a thoroughly entertaining fantasy adventure story – with a dash of romance, a found family and some excellent character development. I’m really looking forward to the series grand finale later this year.

Such an easy listen
I love all of Nazri Noor’s work, but this series is by far my favourite for easy listening. The story is gripping but not overly complicated and I just love all the characters, both the main and secondary ones. I didn’t expect a couple of twists in this book, especially those near the end (but I feel I should’ve seen Sylvain’s, yet I didn’t!) and I also have to note that I continue to equally love and hate Ivander Skink, but with the extra information from this story I am actually starting to lean more towards the positives!
Absolutely great listen and as always Greg Boudreaux does an amazing job of the narration. He brings the story to life in a completely different way to than when I originally read the book myself.
