About this listen

Emi is the kamigakari. In a few short months, her life as a mortal will end, and her new existence as the human host of a goddess will begin. Carefully hidden from those who would destroy her, she has prepared her mind, body, and soul to unite with the goddess - and not once has she doubted her chosen fate.

Shiro is a yokai, a spirit of the earth, an enemy of the goddess Emi will soon host. Mystery shrouds his every move, and his ruby eyes shine with cunning she can't match and dares not trust. But she saved his life, and until his debt is paid, he is hers to command - whether she wants him or not. On the day they meet, everything Emi believes comes undone, swept away like snow upon the winter wind. For the first time, she wants to change her fate - but how can she erase a destiny already wrought in stone? Against the power of the gods, Shiro is her only hope...and hope is all she has left.

The narrator is very good, the story is interesting and the characters are magnetic. The lore is a bit hard to follow because of many similar names

An excellent mixture of japonese mithology and fantasy romance

Emily Woo Zeller voice is so emotive and I felt like this was how I imagined Emi’s voice to be, so it fit the narrative so beautifully.
This is my favourite series of Annette Marie’s books and I absolutely loved reading it, so hearing it narrated was such a great way to reinterpret the text. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series!

Beautifully performed!

I love all of Annette Marie's books but this one is special. I've never read anything like this before and it captivated me from the start. Had the biggest book hangover after this trilogy and is always something I go back to and listen to over and over.

Captivating

This is a poor novel, with recycled events that often seem to be there just to make the book last long enough. Some of the mythology is interesting but not explored enough to genuine hold the interest.

The performance is frequently overwrought and too breathlessly excited.

For those who love it, bravo. I found it difficult to either relate to the characters or care what happened to them.

Repeated scenes.
