About this listen

There are three absolutes in Mairi Wallace's world:

  1. The Mages rule every city in Scotland with terrible, violent authority.
  2. It is not physically possible for any woman to wield magic.
  3. Mairi does not have a voice.

She is about to learn that none of these things have to be true.

From twisted wynds and tartan shops to a dangerous daemon and malevolent ravens, the future of a tattered nation might lie with one solitary woman.

Narration was good but the story felt a empty, boring, not fleshed out, the world building and magic system were just grey and easy…

It’s a series but probably won’t get book two as don’t really care what happens next, didn’t feel invested in the characters at all.

Slightly boring and rushed
