About this listen

"Errand requiring immediate attention. Come."

The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Karou read the message. 'He never says please', she sighed, but she gathered up her things. When Brimstone called, she always came.

In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. On the one hand, she's a 17-year-old art student in Prague; on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. Raised half in our world, half in 'Elsewhere', she has never understood Brimstone's dark work - buying teeth from hunters and murderers - nor how she came into his keeping. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn't whole.

Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought.

Brilliant in every way! I was absolutely hooked so that I had to buy the next 2 books immediately to listen to. I gather this was meant to be young adult genre, well I'm not so young and I just loved it! If you're reading the reviews to decide whether to buy this or not, I would say Buy It Now, you won't regret it!

Fantastic!

This book feels like a teenagers romantic tradey, like an angles and demons version of Romeo and Juliet, without the poison. It's good at keeping you in, to follow a romance between two people who have been told that their love is wrong, and this is the biggest grip. Although, at times, it feels very drawn out and darts back and forth from past to present, making it feel a little tedious at parts, however it's also needed to build to the pinnacle of the story, which is brought together in the last chapters of the book (after chapter 40..). In all however, it's a great story that mixes sci-fi, adventure, woman's strength, romance and sadness. It was good enough that I look forward to delving further into the story in the following book, since I feel, and hope, book one was more of a set up for the greater adventure that I expect will continue in books 1 and 2.

Forbidden love and fantasy.

This is a must read. I'm hesitant to say 'for those who like...' because I think a good book is something to be enjoyed by all, not just because you liked something else.

Laini Taylor has created a world, and one that feels real and lived in; with acres of history and background. It's perfectly paced with incredible twists and well formed unique characters.

Karou is the perfect character for the modern world. Self-assured and never irritating, perfectly suited to her genre and never cliched.

As I said, a must read for a lover of incredible writing and stories.

Completely and utterly fantastic
