Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8
From a young age, Cobie Galloway made a career of playing the girl-next-door on the silver screen. Only, she's not a teenager anymore. Pop star Lila Wilder built a multimedia empire by always having her finger on the pulse of what's hot. However, as she struggles to produce her next smash hit record, she's finding it hard to keep her name in the public eye. Both women tentatively agree to a headline-grabbing fauxmance, with two simple rules: Always stick to the script, and never forget that on the stage of public perception, nothing is real.

Story5 out of 5 stars 8
Princess Natasia is the eldest child of the Emperor Andreth, ruler of the Four Realms. If she was a boy, she’d be the unquestioned heir to the throne. But as a girl, her main duty in life is to marry someone her father can shape into his successor. Everything changes when an unknown, would-be assassin nearly takes Tasia’s life. Someone wants to destabilize the Empire - but who? Unsure of whom he can trust, the Emperor realizes that his daughter might be his best option for an heir.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 132
The necromantic armies are on the warpath and nowhere is safe. Even the presumed sanctuary of the floating dungeon controlled by Cal is threatened! The leadership of nearly all the sentient monarchies has been wiped out, and only the races most suited to repelling the advancing darkness have an intact chain of command. Cal learns quickly that the most pressing threat is not the far-off war, but is instead those entrusted with the general population's protection. As it turns out, the idea of having a flying dungeon for your people is very tempting indeed....

Talented in magic, the young elven woman Ruethwyn didn't fit in in her hometown but was scheduled to attend the most renowned academy of magic in the kingdom and was even building up the courage to confess her love in the hope it might be returned. That all ended in a dragon's fire. Resvarygrath the Gilded destroyed Ruethwyn's village, killed her parents and teacher, and stole away the young women of the village. Maimed by the dragon's flames, Ruethwyn was spared by a curious dark elf who gave her a chance; she had two years to rescue her beloved or risk losing her forever.

Ryana, a worthless girl-child, is sold to a mysterious woman who takes her to the home of the Shadow Sisters who are prized for their abilities as spies and assassins. She survives years of training in spite of being unconventional: adopting poisonous bats as familiars - something no one else would dare to do; choosing the blow dart as her weapon of choice - a weapon the Sisters don't teach; and relying on intuition rather than logic. As she completes her training, the Shadow Sisters are under attack and send Ryana out to find out who is killing Sisters and why.

A strong first novel
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I listened to this book on my commutes. So it was free time, but it made the time go by.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Split between Laney and Celeste. Laney is our story teller so she is the deepest character and therefor automatically one of the most interesting. But i loved the image of the strong beautiful young woman in kinght's armor. (Though for some reason ny mind's eye sees her as blonde, even though the author tells us multiple times she's a redhead.)
Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, first time. I was fairly impressed. The trope of giving nobility a britt-like accent is an old one but it works.
Was Techromancy Scrolls: Adept worth the listening time?
yes
Any additional comments?
First off, lets be clear, this is a love story/action adventure between two young women. If that turns you off, it isn't for you.
The author has talent, but could have used a good editor. He has some trouble maintaining a separate "voice" for all his characters. In particular ALL his nobility say "Grand" when pleased. In one character's mouth, such an affectation helps create a unique personality. In many people's mouths, it muddies and confuses those lines of uniqueness.
He also at time uses repetitive phrases. A good editor would have pulled out both of these and made her re-write them.

Absolutely love this book, the story is different from anything post apocalyptic and keeps you wanting more.
The narration is spot on and brings so much life into the story you swear the movie is playing in your mind.
Would love to see this adapted too the silver screen!

The Knights of Wexbury
If you could sum up Techromancy Scrolls: Adept in three words, what would they be?
it would be: Amazing, Adorable, and Unique
What was one of the most memorable moments of Techromancy Scrolls: Adept?
oh this will contain spoilers
when Laney realized that even the tiniest thing can win the battle and so she took in all the magic she can and used it to pull every last bit of iron from Raneth's Blood suffocating and killing him on his feet
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite... I have a lot though but maybe it would be when Celeste show Laney that defense is how you survive and she demonstrated by only defending and beat 4 fully trained knights of the realm. she didn't beat Bowin since she couldn't attack and she couldn't use other's weapon against him. i really like that scene and also... tiny goats!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to listen to it in one sitting but i had school and all so i had to cut it since it reached 10 hours man, but it was well worth listening to it i can tell you that.
Any additional comments?
buy this and give it a listen it is definitely worth it trust me I'm atleast 60% an expert at this and Ms. Hollie another homerun with this one!

Sensational!
One of the things I Love most about Erik Schubach books, is that they (now this is just my opinion) get rid of the Butch/femme dichotomy as the non "gay" world sees it. It's always broken down to "a girl who loves another girl fighting bad shit and just being themselves" kind of thing. The archetypes are there but in such a way as to blurr the lines so much you have no idea who's who.... And the Amazing world's these beings live in, I mean there's that as well... The storytelling is Sensational! When I look at a "Butch" woman I don't see a woman acting manly. I see a Very feminine woman just being themselves and that's what I got from this book. just be yourself. Because who you are is Sensational.

Adored this story
A wonderful and fantastical story only made better with amazing and lively narration. The world created by Erik Schubach is wonderful, hilarious, unnerving, and real.
I adore all the tiny nods to not only our life as it is or was (electricity powered by water being seen as laughable) but the little bits that the author puts in about himself (every time a platypus was mentioned I was grinning).
The story comes alive and the characters are relatable and real and to learn along with some of them as they do was a treat at every turn. Especially some of the little "did you forget? I didn't." moments (her dreams still occurring after the time skip? I almost did, for a moment, if I'm honest).
I always love listening to Hollie Jackson. Her voice and ability to differentiate characters (even with similar accents) with use of tone and inflection has always astounded and inspired me. She reads the story in such a way that it seems as though she is truly enjoying telling this story as well, a feeling which is infectious at every turn.
Listening to this was so much more than I could have ever even hoped (which, honestly, my hopes were already rather high with this duo), and I'm so excited to keep moving forward.

Glad I didn't miss this!
Like others that have written reviews, I'm so glad I didn't overlook this title.
Techromancy Scrolls: Adept is an enjoyable story, with a rich fantasy tale at its core, that just happens to feature the female lead falling in love with another female. (Anybody expecting a sappy/dramatic love-focused story will be disappointed.)
The world is built up slowly and carefully, giving plenty of time for listeners to bond with the characters.
The voice acting is fabulous - entertaining and easy to listen to. The narrator has a range of voices to suit the different characters, and while the upper-British accent of Celeste occasionally falters, it does little to detract from the overall experience.
This is a title that had me purchasing the sequel just before it ended, so I wouldn't have to wait before continuing the story.
If you like your YA-fantasy with a light dusting of lesbian romance, do yourself a favor and purchase Techromancy Scrolls: Adept.

Amazing listen
I absolutely love this book. The story line keeps you coming back for more, and the setting draws you in immediately. I can't wait to finish the series.
