About this listen

On the world of Dematr, the Emperor and his legions rule over the lands on the eastern side of the Sea of Bakre, and the Great Guilds rule over the Emperor and his subjects. The Mechanics Guild, whose members claim they came from the stars, controls technology far beyond that of the swords and sailing ships of the common people, while the Mage Guild wields strange powers that terrify all who face them.

Jules, an orphan from the Imperial city of Landfall, has fought her way up to become an officer in training with the Emperor’s fleet. But her plans and her life are shattered when a Mage prophesizes that a daughter of her line will one day overthrow the Great Guilds and free the world. In that moment, the prophecy takes over her life. The Mages plot to kill her, the Mechanics try to find ways to use her, and the Emperor seeks to coerce her into having his children.

Unwilling to surrender her life to serving the prophecy, Jules makes her escape by joining the crew of a pirate ship. As she fights for her comrades’ freedom as well as her own, she learns that the world is finally changing. But if that change triggers all-out war between the Great Guilds and the Empire, it may well devastate the world rather than free it.

An interesting science fiction/ fantasy.
Reading is good, but not great.
Story fast paced without the pointless irrelevant details so many authors love.
Definitely listen to the free ones, I haven't decided if I will actually pay for any more.
Not quite sure why it isn't a five star for me, but its just lacking that something special.



Easy to listen to.

Love the narration and story telling, so much so that I bought the rest of the series and have just finished it today.

Enjoyable

To be completely up front I admit that I only listened to part of chapter 1. So I can’t guarantee the story is really bad but the performance was dire from the first sentence and the awful character voices were the creations of a child. It was lining up for cliche after cliche and life is too short for this.
Others may have different views,and they’re entitled to them, but this book will be going back and shall not trouble my ears again.

Don’t bother
