Summary
Cassandra lives in a world where you fall in love at first sight - or not at all. Too bad she's blind, and being blind makes her not only immune to love, but also a criminal. She must now live alone or face being sentenced to a life of slavery.
Though she's grown accustomed to her solitude, everything changes when Cassandra stumbles across a mysterious man in her domain. A royal soldier is hunting Nikon down, endangering her freedom as well. If the warriors discover her, she'll be bound by the law. Not willing to risk slavery or death, Cassandra abandons her familiar home and ventures into an unforgiving world with Nikon.
Forced to trust a man she doesn't even know, Cassandra finds she’s drawn to him even though a relationship between them is impossible. And she can't afford any distractions. If they don't stay one step ahead of the warriors, Nikon will be imprisoned and she enslaved. Cassandra must use all the senses she has left if they're to remain free.

Sands of Eppla
I have read the ebook when it first came out and liked it but it was nice listening to it too. Some reviewers had a problem with the narrator but I thought she was ok. I have heard a lot worse.
The story is slow paced but I think this is more to do with setting the stage and the players involved. It has me intrigued to find out what will happen next.
My only negative is that I could not imagine the world the MC lived in becuase it was told from her perspective and she is blind, I would have prefered it to be a more mixed pov.
Other then this it is not a bad book. It is a clean read (no profanity or sexual content and a little violence.
Can't wait for book two.

Good book
Overall an enjoyable listen and the four star rating is mainly as the story is not quite my personal taste and should not put people off giving it a go.
I am not sure what I was expecting and I was a little unsure during the first couple of chapters, so it took me a little while to get into the story. I struggled with the premise that the only way to fall in love is at first sight and there was no explanation how this came to be.
The story was interesting enough to make me curious enough to continue to listen.
Getting to know the characters things got progressively more engaging and while I couldn’t completely identify with Cassandra, which was not because she was blind, but maybe because she is a bit naive. I definitely empathised with her struggles and admired how she coped with being blind and how independent she was. What is strange for me is that I felt closer to the male protagonist Nikon and was somehow more engaged with his character.
Overall I enjoyed the book even though I tend to prefer stories with a stronger, I don’t mean physically, female lead character and it was engaging enough for me to want to find out what adventures await Cass and Nikon next.
I enjoyed the narration by Samantha, her diction is very clear and concise and she made a very good attempt at giving the different characters their own individual voice.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
