About this listen

Kyon Ensin finally has what he's always wanted: possession of Kricket Hollowell, the priestess who foresees the future. Together, their combined power will be unrivaled. Kricket, however, doesn't crave the crown of Ethar - she has an unbreakable desire to live life on her own terms, a life that she desperately wants to share with her love, Trey Allairis.

As conspiracies rage in the war for Ethar, Kricket's so-called allies want to use her as a spy. Even those held closest cannot be trusted - including Astrid, her sister, and Giffen, a member of a mysterious order with a hidden agenda. But Kricket's resolve will not allow her to be used as anyone's pawn, even as the Brotherhood sharpens its plans to cut out her heart.

As the destiny prophesied by her mother approaches, Kricket will backtrack through her fiery future to reshape it. For she knows one thing above all else: the only person she can truly count on is herself.

I absolutely adore this series, it's one of my favourite.
The story is so original and brilliant and I can never put the books down and I listen to the audiobook at every opportunity I get!
I first read the books and then had to try the audiobooks, they are brilliantly narrated with the characters really coming to life and it brings more to my imagination of the story. I especially loved wayra's voice.
Please Amy don't let this be the last book, I need to hear and read more about Kricket, her future and everyone else's future too.
Thank you for this wonderful series.

My favourite series ever!

What made the experience of listening to Darken the Stars the most enjoyable?

It wasn't predictable, it was more than a little heart-breaking which if I'm honest I sort of loved. This book brought out my inner masochist.
I don't know, I was just hooked. Amazing writing! Amazing female protagonist!
Now all I need is book 4.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Cried a fair bit, but also laughed/smiled too.Excited all the way through, It's an amazing story. Now I just need the author to finish it.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AUDIOBOOKS!!!

Any additional comments?

I was hooked on this series from the beginning and the narration was excellent. My only complaint is that the end was really unsatisfying. Although not a cliffhanger, there was definitely a sense of the story being unresolved. I went looking for the next book and found there was none. That was most disappointing.

Can't be the end

This entire series was so out my normal reading scope- is watch this on tv sure- but listening so an audiobook has never been my thing.
Recommended by a friend and I couldn’t be more thankful and now obsessed.

What an amazing story!

Worthy of all the stars!

AMAZING. WORTHY OF ALL THE STARS
