À propos de cet audio
"In a pleasing voice, Jessica Hayles narrates an epic tale set in the days when knights, magic, and royalty ruled the land." (AudioFile Magazine)
Tessa Gratton's Lady Hotspur is a sweeping, heart-stopping Shakespearean novel of betrayal and battlefields and destiny.
STRIKE FAST, LOVE HARD, LIVE FOREVER
This is the motto of the Lady Knights - sworn to fealty under a struggling kingdom, promised to defend the prospective heir, Banna Mora.
But when a fearsome rebellion overthrows the throne, Mora is faced with an agonizing choice: give up everything she's been raised to love, and allow a king-killer to be rewarded - or retake the throne, and take up arms against the newest heir, Hal Bolingbrooke, Mora's own childhood best friend and sworn head of the Lady Knights.
Hal loathes being a Prince; she's much more comfortable instated on the Throne of Misrule, a racous underground nether-court where passion rules all. She yearns to live up to the wishes of everyone she loves best - but that means sacrificing her own heart, and so she will disappoint everyone until the moment she can rise to prove those expectations wrong.
And between these two fierce Princes is the woman who will decide all their fates - Lady Isarna Hotspur, the fiery and bold knight whose support will turn the tides of the coming war.

Couldn't finish
I made it about 2/5ths of the way through. This book feels interminable. Gratton's world building is excellent, and her characters are interesting, but none of them serve any purpose. In the Shakespeare play upon which this is based, the first handful of scenes do as much setting up of stakes and conflict as Gratton does in the ~8 hours I've put into this audio. I want more books by diverse creators telling diverse stories, but I need those stories to move quicker than this one.
Compounding matters, while the reader does a decent job giving all the major characters distinct voices, her tone never modulates. Battle, sex, trip to the corner store, all are delivered with roughly the same enthusiasm and inflection.
