Goodreads Reviews

Legendborn meets Percy Jackson in this dark and thrilling debut fantasy romance.

When consumed by shadow, even the faintest light can be blinding...

After a childhood haunted by disturbing hallucinations of the Shadow Man, Alexis Michaels’s only comfort is the blue amulet he’s had since before he can remember. Now, the visions have gone, and Alexis craves a normal life.

But when a trip to Stonehenge unites him with three other teens carrying similar gems, normality is abandoned when they are plunged into a hidden world of power-wielding Elementals, and told they are the chosen ones, destined to save the world from an eternal night. Trained by legends and guided by heroes, Alexis and his companions must venture on a perilous quest, facing tests of love, loss, and loyalty.

But a dark past plagues Alexis as they prepare to defeat an adversary more ominous than they could imagine, and a looming secret sets to corrupt the mission, their lives, and his mind.

A high-stakes, speculative romance, which masterfully weaves themes of mental health, psychosis, and found family. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Cassandra Clare from TikTok and BookTok star @andydarcytheo.

The Light That Blinds Us by Andy Darcy Theo is a book I’ve been wanting to dive into ever since I discovered his page on Instagram. The cover immediately piqued my interest, and after reading the blurb, I was hooked right away.

The narrator, Joe Jameson, does a fantastic job bringing Andy Darcy Theo’s debut to life. He captures the emotion and flow of the dialogue beautifully, allowing the characters’ relationships and struggles to really shine throughout the story. That said, there were a few moments when the voices of the female characters were a little difficult to distinguish from one another, but overall his performance added a lot to the listening experience.

All in all, I highly recommend this audiobook. It’s a fantastic way to experience Andy Darcy Theo’s debut — an engaging and immersive listen, especially if you follow along with the physical copy. I’m really excited to continue the series and see where Andy takes the crew in book two!

An amazing immersive reading! 🎧📖
