À propos de cet audio
After spinning an enthralling world in Witchmark, praised as a "can't-miss debut" by Booklist, and as "thoroughly charming and deftly paced" by the New York Times, C. L. Polk continues the story in Stormsong. Magical cabals, otherworldly avengers, and impossible love affairs conspire to create a book that refuses to be put down.
Dame Grace Hensley helped her brother Miles undo the atrocity that stained her nation, but now she has to deal with the consequences. With the power out in the dead of winter and an uncontrollable sequence of winter storms on the horizon, Aeland faces disaster. Grace has the vision to guide her parents to safety, but a hostile queen and a ring of rogue mages stand in the way of her plans. There's revolution in the air, and any spark could light the powder. What's worse, upstart photojournalist Avia Jessup draws ever closer to secrets that could topple the nation, and closer to Grace's heart.
Can Aeland be saved without bloodshed? Or will Kingston die in flames, and Grace along with it?

Fantasy, Politics, Intrigue, Mystery ...
This immediately follows Witchmark and thankfully has a much better narrator. Initially I was dispappointed that the Point of View had switched to Grace, who became the new Voice and Chancellor of Aeland after uncovering the magical enslavement of the witches. Grace has to deal with incoming storms, political intrigues, her manipulative ex, secret wiches, plus the canny reporter Avia Jessop. This is also a mystery with some nicely played red herrings.
You do get pulled into Grace's struggles. She has to be conciliatory to find the political middle ground, but there were times I was so exasperated with herincluding her inability to sleep, think or eat due to the demands on her - but I did think that there were times she needed to find a spine and start delegating, or just be more assertive.
I abolutely loved the world building, this quasi Edwardian world of precise social manners, and Polk's the (not very hidden) commentary on the way that society exploits the oppressed.
Looking forward to Book 3 of this Trilogy.
