Summary

Willa Knight: Dweller. Slave. Non-magical being.

In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.

At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won't ever be forced to present herself to them... Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world - a position that she definitely did not earn.

Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection, and power. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service, she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it.

Either way, she is in trouble.

This is a full novel, 90,000 words. Book one of five in the Curse of the Gods Series

Wonderful wonderful wonderful

I loved this book, the storyline the characters the world!!! My only dislike was the lack of differentiation between the brothers. The narrator did not make a big enough difference between them.

Strange but fun

This book is...odd. There is a bright, irreverent tone to the writing and engaging characters. However the plot doesn't build and there's an obvious twist coming which I guess they have saved for later novels so it all falls a bit flat. The dynamic of the heroine lusting after five brothers and vice versa means there's not so much of a romance going on, rather a PG orgy. The narrator - as commented by another reviewer - does have a rather rushed style and personally I found the male voices both abysmal and indistinguishable. Overall the confidence of the writing carries it through, but it is quite flawed.

Good story but narrator should slow down

Would you listen to Trickery again? Why?

I would definitely listen to this again

What was one of the most memorable moments of Trickery?

I wouldn't say there was any one part that was entirely memorable, but it is still a good book

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was really good with the various voice changes and handled the challenge of changing the tones of the 5 brothers well

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were a few moments that gave me the giggles and certainly a few shocks

Any additional comments?

My only grumble was the narration speed. The narrator sounded more like she was speed reading the story which made it hard to keep up on occasion and did spoil the effect of the story slightly.I tried reducing the playback speed but that just made it too slow

Wonderful

Beautifully crafted and highly entertaining first instalment of Curse of the Gods. I cannot wait for the following instalments. Jaymin Eve and Jane Washington are fabulous together. Eve is a fantastic storyteller always bringing characters to life with a unique understanding of human nature with all of it’s flaws and endearments. This is the first time of encountering Washington and I cannot wait to dive into her other stories. I highly recommend this series to anyone wishing to escape into a wonderful new world of the fantastic.

Loved this story

I loved this story, the characters and especially Will, the way she just says what she’s thinking at times is hilarious. I look forward to reading more in this series

Lightweight and hilarious entertainment

Story: Willa, our main character, is a 'dirt dweller', the bottom of the hierarchy in a world where the Gods occasionally walk among the people. And yet she has some sort of Chaos Curse and weird and crazy things happen to her all the time. Amazing world creation.

Performance: Vanessa Moyen does a great job with the hyper and chaotic internal monologues that Willa has with herself. Just imagine Willa's voice doing all the other voices in her head and it gets even better.

Overall: A lightweight story without a lot of substance. The world-building is great, the character development horrible. One major plus in this series so far... there are side characters that actually have personality. Woohoo! I really enjoyed the book, but I suspect the sweet and silly will get old quickly if nothing changes. The steam level is PG, with nothing more than kissing and vague references. I'll get book 2 and see if anything changes or if it is just the same over and over again.

Good story made better by a very talented narrator. Able to differentiate easily between characters.

Amazing

I’ve had this audiobook in my library for over 2 years and I’m so annoyed with myself for leaving it so long before I listened to it. Willa is sent to Minatsol to be a dweller who are said to be no better than dirt , she has to live her life serving magic blessed who might eventually become gods. The first day she arrives she meets some of the Abcurse brothers which doesn’t go very well and things seem to get worse from there. I really loved listening and I’m starting book 2 now . As usual Vanessa Moyen narrates perfectly.

Brilliant and funny

Good story and made me laugh randomly while listening to it, through headphones which meant I got some odd looks of people.
