About this listen
A lonely princess.
A flying teen.
A kidnapped girl who only remembers what happens at night.
Seventeen-year-old Princess Nora is a frost eater who creates magical ice. Her royal life is luxurious but stifling.
Krey West has a rare magical talent: when he eats feathers, he can fly. His one goal is to find his missing girlfriend, Zeisha. He thinks someone in power abducted her.
Krey’s daring feats of magic earn him an invitation to the palace. Craving adventure and friendship, Nora offers to help him find Zeisha. He’s desperate enough to accept - though he hates the monarchy.
The truth is more terrible than they could imagine.
Every night, Zeisha wakes in a dark room full of sleeping people, unable to remember what she did in the light. Her dreams provide violent glimpses into her forgotten days.
If Krey and Nora can’t save her, Zeisha may lose herself forever.
Readers describe this post-apocalyptic fantasy novel as “magic-packed” with “action, romance, and intrigue” that’ll “pull you right into the pages.”

I had waited to start this book because it seemed too long. After I finished it, I was sad it had to end and I’m now just waiting for the next one to come out.
Perfect in every possible way

One aspect of the book I really loved was a vignette at the beginning of each chapter in the form of an excerpt from the diary of Liri Abrios. She is a similarly aged girl from the first generation after an apocalyptic event, which formed the world and society Nora lives in. It is a novel and interesting way to get an insight into the history of the planet Anyari, where the story takes place.
There is this unique and fascinating magic system. People who possess magic abilities have to eat a particular fuel, which they catalyse to create the effect, so for instance there is the frost (ice) eater who can then form ice projectiles or shapes; or the magician who eats feathers to be able to fly.
The characters Nora and Krey are both magic eaters. Princess Nora is a frost eater or ice lyster as they are formally called. Krey is an ice lyster and feather lyster.
Krey is trying to find his missing girlfriend Zeisha, and suspects the monarchy to be involved in her disappearance. Presented with the opportunity to befriend the lonely, bored princess Nora he decides to use her to get into the palace. Nora sees the chance of adventure and becomes his willing accomplice. They involve Ovrun, the handsome palace guard. Ovrun is head over heels in love with Nora and will do anything for her. Nora fancies hunky Ovrun and despite knowing nothing can come from it starts to fall for him.
The very different teens form an alliance that eventually leads to a deep friendship and trust in each other.
They discover Zeisha is not the only person who has gone missing, and they all have something in common: they are all have a magical talent.
Nora and her friends uncover a far more sinister plot and it is up to them to save the future of the kingdom and its people.
This is the first book of the Magic Eaters Trilogy and any fan of YA fiction will love it.
Carol Beth Anderson narrates the book herself, she has and a very pleasant voice and clear and concise pronunciation.
I received this book in audio book format from the author and am leaving this review of my own volition.

This book is certainly filled with plenty of action, suspense, magic and friendship. It all winds together in an intricate and fantastical story that keeps you listening/reading. I really liked that Nora and Kray to start with aren’t these perfectly loveable characters they’re still young after all but through their time together they grow and you watch their friendship blossom. The plot is truly interesting and the fact that their magic is only available to them when it is fuelled is a new concept. My one downside to this is the pacing to the story. Sometimes it feels like it’s going a bit slowly and not a lot was going on, other times weeks have gone past and I don’t know where the time has gone which was quite frustrating so lost a star for this unfortunately. Overall though I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and definitely worth anyone giving it a go!
Overall thoroughly enjoyable
