About this listen

To save her world, she must sacrifice everything she holds dear.

Despite descending from a long line of powerful sorcerers, Vi Solaris lacked all magic. That is, until the day she manifested a powerful sorcery unlike any other.

Now, a sorcerer from a distant land tells her she must leave her home to claim her true power as champion of the goddess. That the mysterious plague ripping through her empire is the first warning an ancient evil threatens to rise anew. And that she is the only one who can put a stop to it.

Making matters worse, her empire falters under political turmoil, and her disappearance as the crown princess might just be what causes it to buckle. Assassins anointed by the evil she seeks to thwart hunt her relentlessly. And, despite herself, she's falling for that charming sorcerer with pointed ears and haunted eyes as he trains her in secret.

Vi embarks on a perilous journey across land and sea that will unveil shocking truths about her dying world, explore the mysteries of primordial magic, and have her fighting for the one thing that remains when all else is lost: love. Love for her home, her family, her duty, and for the man who will stay at her side until the world's end.

Vortex Chronicles is perfect for young-adult epic-fantasy fans who love sweeping adventures, coming-of-age stories, sword and sorcery, thrilling magic, slow-burn romance that doesn't overwhelm the main plot, and hope prevailing—all tied up with a happily ever after. Fans of Victoria Aveyard, Leigh Bardugo, and Alexandra Bracken are sure to be delighted by Vortex Chronicles.

The overall concept was good but it entailed delivering a long story. Unfortunately, it wasn’t delivered well, there was so much to cover that nothing was told with real depth or feelings in such a way as to truly engage a reader’s senses or imagination. There were lots of irritating and predictable parts - it was a tough, long read,

Very Long Winded

I liked the whole story, but you have to pay attention to all the twists and turns.

An Intriguing Tale

Good story overall, but when a huge part of the plot includes time travel there's no excuse for such huge continuity errors. No matter how you twist it the different timelines are just a mess.

I loved the previous books, so got really excited to listen to this one, especially as it’s a bundle, so great value for a credit.
BUT: the narration is TERRIBLE!!!! It is inconsistent, at times so of the characters are made to sound as if they are drunk (not the worst), have some really strange accents or are just downright not able to speak.
I hope this will get better, as I’m about 4 hours into the book and like the story and the links to the previous series. However I’m not sure I’ll get through to the end with this unfortunate narration.

Good story, but the narration is offputting

Narrator cannot do accents to save her life. Some of the worst accents I have ever heard. So why does she insist on using accents she cannot comfortably perform? Who knows. Truly terrible decision on the part of this narrator to choose to use accents she can't actually maintain or speak in comfortably for main characters she has to perform constantly through the book.
The story itself I am enjoying.

Narrators accents are killing me. Just killing me.
